It hasnât been a good week for Green Lantern.
Last Monday saw Ryan Reynolds take to Instagram to make fun of the Green Lantern mask, and now the new Teen Titans Go! To The Movies animated film takes a swing at GL.
A new spot for Teen Titans Go! To The Movies features the Titans mentioning that they are making movies about every superhero.
The Justice League then enters the scene with John Stewart (voiced by Lil Yachty) stating, âThere was a Green Lantern movie, but we donât talk about that.â
The Green Lantern movie debuted back in 2011, but bombed big time at the box office as it brought in only $219 million worldwide, and plans for a Green Lantern 2 were scrapped.
Itâs probably worth noting that the failed Green Lantern movie didnât feature John Stewart who is said to be a part of the upcoming David S. Goyer Green Lantern Corps film along with Hal Jordan.
Check out Green Lantern in the Teen Titans Go! To The Movies TV spot:
When the Teen Titans go to the big screen, they go big! Â âTeen Titans GO! to the Moviesâ finds our egocentric, wildly satirical Super Heroes in their first feature film extravaganzaâa fresh, gleefully clever, kid-appropriately crass and tongue-in-cheek play on the superhero genre, complete with musical numbers.
It seems to the Teens that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own moviesâeveryone but the Teen Titans, that is! But de facto leader Robin is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick. If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously Super-Villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line!
Will Arnett (âThe LEGOÂź Batman Movieâ) and Kristen Bell (âFrozenâ) lend their voices to the first-ever big-screen version of DC Entertainment and Cartoon Networkâs animated TV show, which also stars Greg Cipes (TVâs âTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesâ) as Beast Boy, Scott Menville (TVâs âSpider-Manâ) as Robin, Khary Payton (âThe Walking Deadâ) as Cyborg, Tara Strong (the âMy Little Ponyâ franchise) as Raven, and Hynden Walch (TVâs âAdventure Time with Finn & Jakeâ) as Starfire, reprising their roles from the series.
The film is being directed by Aaron Horvath and Peter Rida Michail, from a screenplay by Michael Jelenic and Horvath, based on characters from DC. Michail, Will Arnett and Peggy Regan are producing, with Sam Register, Jelenic and Horvath serving as executive producers. Apart from Arnett, all are âTeen Titans GO!â series contributors.
Set to release on July 27, 2018, âTeen Titans GO! to the Moviesâ will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
