“This is WB and DC doing a little warm-up for the big budget movie on Green Lantern that is coming out this month.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs always, the Animation Team probably has a better grasp on the characters and settings than the suits in Hollywood ever do.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Green Lantern Corps faces an inter-dimensional threat, and while they wait for the final confrontation, they tell stories of the greatest accomplishments of the Corps.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is probably at its weakest in the fact that they have Nathan Fillian of u0026quot;Fireflyu0026quot; fame doing the voice of Hal Jordan (Why isnu0026#39;t he doing it in the Live Action version? Why?) but he is only involved in the wrap around story that keeps the plot moving from one section to the next.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe stories themselves are quite good, though. Each one a little gem, even if a bit predictable even for the fan who is familiar with this universe.”
