THR is reporting that Cartoon Network is planning a Green Lantern animated series.
Phil Kent, chairman and CEO of Time Warner’s Turner networks unit, showed a slide with some of Cartoon Network’s original programming at TW’s investor day.
It included the title “Green Lantern: The Animated Series.”
Warner Bros. chairman and CEO Barry Meyer later in the day mentioned this as an example of increasing collaboration and coordination between his unit and Turner. He said the Cartoon Network show is based on the DC Comics character and Warner’s “Green Lantern” movie, scheduled for a June 17, 2011 release.
The TV series is expected to launch in the second year after the film release.
