Thanks to
MTV Splash Page for the following quotes. Follow the link at the bottom of this article for more from the series' producer.
On Whether The Animated Series Will Have Any Links To The Live Action Movie:
"The animated series doesn't follow the direct continuity of the live-action movie or 'First Flight' or anything that we've done before, but it doesn't contradict them either. They're all pretty consistent in terms of Hal Jordan being the Green Lantern and so forth, so hopefully by the time our show comes on, people will have seen the 'Green Lantern' movie — several times, hopefully — and they'll know the backstory, so we can go off from there."
On Whether Or Not The Series Will Address Hal Jordan's Origins:
"We've already done the origin story in 'First Flight,' and I'm sure we'll be re-releasing that to take advantage of all the 'Green Lantern' publicity next year. The movie itself is going to be his origin story, so people will know his origin story and we don't have to waste time with it yet again."
On Whether Or Not We'll See An Adaptation Of The Popular "Blackest Night" Comic Book Event:
"We don't get into the whole Black Lantern thing. Hopefully the show is a big hit and will go on for six or seven years, and we'll do the Black Lanterns somewhere down the line, but for now we don't have any plans to go down that route."
On Whether We'll See Any Other DC Heroes Cameo On The Show
"It's a science-fiction show, so this means Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, they're not showing up. It's all about the Green Lantern Corps."
On The "Green Lantern: Emerald Knights" Animated Movie:
""This one focuses directly on the other members of the Green Lantern Corps. It's similar in format to the "Batman: Gotham Knight" movie we did a couple of years ago, with six individual stories all tied up in an overall arc. 'Emerald Knights' is similar in that each of the individual stories focuses on one of the other Green Lanterns."
