TV Guide gets the exclusive on the first day of Comic-Con. Cartoon Network’s CGI show, Green Lantern: The Animted Series usually stars Hal Jordan. That you already know, or should know since you’re reading this. The series already features comic favorites such as Carol Ferris, Saint Walker, Atrocitus and Kilowog. Well now, its time to welcome Guy Gardner to the show. That’s right, everyone’s favorite jerk is coming to town. Voicing the role is Diedrich Bader, (Batman: The Brave and the Bold), who gives the character a comedic touch. “Somehow he did this thing where he made lines funny that weren’t even supposed to be funny,” Series producer Giancarlo Volpe says.
The show is set to return in September, complete with Earth based adventures! Producer Jim Krieg cautions the audience “not to get too comfortable with the happiness Hal is feeling in his heart, because we’re just gonna mess up his life again.” More on Guy Gardner from Volpe, “He’s like Hal Jordan cranked to Level 10…He’s that much cockier, more brash and a womanizer.”
Oh, and to replace the angry Atrocitus as the villain for season one part 2? None other than THE ANTI-MONITOR. Bang.
