Detroit MIke Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I have to tip my hat to the quick turnaround time on the books I dropped off at Motor City Con. I really wanted to keep this baby raw but I could never get a consensus on the grade. Fine minus works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase22gr1959 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I did a comparison. One is the average Showcase 22 page quality "cream to off-white pages" and the the other is a "white pages". What a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's like the difference between DCDP (Diet Cherry Dr Pepper...my fave!) and CZ (Coke Zero). Of course, I'm referring to DCDP as the WPer !!

Who will be the principal GL in the cartoon - Hal (ala Batman series GL) or John (ala the JLA cartoon)? It would make more sense for Hal to be the lead GL for the movie tie in, but I wonder how many kids will be confused initially after seeing John as the only GL for a few years now?

Good point...some of the kids who watched JLA will be confused. As ComicConnoisseur stated, this will introduce a next generation of fans and the timing is to exploit and lucrative for Time Warner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Looks like this summer will be the last chance to load up for the mega GL hype next year: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=18565 Warner Bros Gearing for Green Lantern Mania New information from the Time Warner shareholders meeting proves they are banking on Green Lantern to be their latest cross-media cash cow. Last night, The Hollywood Reporter managed to get their hands on a few slides from the Warner Bros' investor meeting; a meeting which brought us definitive news of the studio's plans for Flash, Wonder Woman and Superman films. One of the slides focused on their next superhero adaptation, Green Lantern, and the projected cross media campaign that will follow suit: The Consumer Products and Games bullet points appear to go hand-in-hand with the Green Lantern film, which is scheduled for release June 17th, 2011. The most interesting points seem to be regarding two new animated ventures. During yesterday's meeting, Chairman and CEO of Time Warner's Turner Networks unit, Phil Kent, announced that Green Lantern: The Animated Series has been optioned to Cartoon Network. The slide, however, mentions that the cartoon will be of the Computer Generated variety; which gains more and more popularity with younger audiences. The second, and most quizzical, reference is the Made-for-Video Green Lantern feature WB is planning to release a month before the live-action film hits theaters. Bruce Timm, the 'godfather' of Warner Bros. animation department, denied that any Green Lantern animated films were on the studio's production slate due to the first's under performance in sales; which contradicted earlier reports that a Green Lantern animated prequel, one that would focus on the creation of the DC universe and the Green Lantern Corps' place in it, was secretly being penned. One thing is fairly certain, though; Warner Bros is putting a lot of stock into Green Lantern not just becoming one of their tentpole film franchises, but a household brand name along the lines of Batman.

showcase22gr1959 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) I think Green Lantern has a potential to surprise a lot of folks. Amazing Fantasy 15 and Amazing Spiderman 1 did not peak till one year after the third movie. My bet is if Green Lantern makes it to a sequel, there will be great tremendous upside... unless we jump parabolic again next year and become way over value.

Agent 007 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 They better make a few movies. I just don't hope they switch each movie with a new GL each time and should just build on 1. I don't mind cameo's of GL's though. I'm just waiting for the SC 22 9.2 to pop up to see what the baby will sell for so I can drool over it. Someone has to have one out there?
