"In brightest day.."



The trailer for the newest direct-to-video animated offering from Warner Bros. Animation, Green Lantern: First Flight, is out. With rumours circulating that Warner Brothers are looking to Green Lantern as a rival super-franchise to Marvel's unfolding Iron Man series, it'd be easy to see this as product interest toe dipping. Thankfully, there's enough talent in this that it'll likely end up making a live-action take irrelevant: Lauren Montgomery follows up her directing stint on the lively Wonder Woman and Superman: Doomsday, with Bruce Timm producing, and Alan Burnett on writes. First Flight focuses on Silver Age space-cop Hal Jordan, his induction into the Green Lantern Corp, and burgeoning rivalry with assigned mentor Sinestro. Although barely clocking in over a minute, the First Flight trailer is full of promise: Star Wars Cantina brawls, inventive blunt trauma will objects, and determination Chakra Z-rays. See for yourself. First Flight is out July.
