It seems that Cartoon Network will be getting a Green Lantern animated series possibly as early as Fall 2011. According to information disseminated at an investors’ day for Time Warner, the CEOs of Turner Networks and Warner Bros. both made comments about collaboration between their businesses and used this animated series as a shining example. The animated series will follow the June 17, 2011 release of the Green Lantern feature film starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan.

Batman: Under The Red Hood is the latest DC comic adaptation going direct to DVD. This will be based directly on the Batman: Under the Hood story by Judd Winick.
As with previous DC animated movies, they’ve sidestepped the voice cast of the 90s animated series in favor of some outside talent. Bruce Greenwood is Batman with Neil Patrick Harris as Nightwing and Jensen Ackles as Robin. Villains include John DiMaggio as The Joker, Jason Isaacs as Ra’s al Ghul, and Wade Williams as Black Mask.
The trailer seems to play up this animated as being as close to the last live action Batman movie as possible. It comes out on July 27, so we’ve got about 2 months to go. Its available for pre-order now.

Since the alphabet is the building block of our language, the Powet Alphabet is the building block of what makes us geeks.

It’s happened to all of us. You’re playing your favorite game, and you’ve thought of ways you could make it better. Maybe you were playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance and you were wondering what the game would be like if you could bring DC or Capcom characters to battle alongside the X-men and Avengers. Maybe you had an idea for a kick-ass new track for Forza or Gran Turismo. Maybe you wondered what would happen if you put Starcraft’s Zerg against Warcraft’s Scourge. Or maybe you wondered what your favorite WWII shooter would be like with Zombie Nazis (oh wait a sec, Treyarch already thought of that one). Ever since the beginnings of PC gaming, it’s been increasingly easier to turn games on their heads. Thanks to the success of games such as LittleBigPlanet, the console gaming market is able to get in too (well, without the need for warranty-voiding console hacking at least). These past several years have seen an increase in games which utilize user-created content, almost to the point where the entire game is driven by it.

Ok, Sonic fans, this isn’t the news you were hoping to hear, but Sega has announced that Sonic 4 Episode 1 has been delayed from its previous summer 2010 release to ‘late 2010’. The reason given was basically to give the development team more time to tweak and fine tune the game. Also announced were the additions of the iPhone and iPod Touch to the list of platform options available for this game.

Not much more was given in terms of details for this announcement. Fortunately, Sonic fans are no strangers to waiting for good games.
