Well. At least they didn't kill Speedy, too. :-/

From the Emerald City Comic Con DC panel:

The first question jumped into the recent controversy over the death of Lian Harper, the young daughter of Speedy who was recently killed in "Cry for Justice," when a female fan expressed her displeasure with the "fridging" of the character:

James Robinson: "That decision [was] a controversial and one that I know has been greeted with some displeasure by some people... I'm sorry if it upset people. In all honesty, they wanted to kill Speedy too, and I said no, so give me some credit for that."

Ian Sattler: "I'm happy it upset people because it means that the story had some weight and emotion."

Geoff Johns on the possibility of a "Green Lantern" animated series: "There's a very, very good chance. But maybe."

Y'know, that's actually not a bad idea at all (assuming it's about the whole corps and not just Hal Jordan). The whole Green Lantern Corps idea is pretty cool but I could never quite understand the whole convoluted backstory. A fresh new cartoon could make something good out of it. But I'd also like a Wondy cartoon.

The problem would be it'd be like the Legion of Superheroes...if they all had exactly the same power.

How about an animated Mogo series, then?

Ah, the REAL Captain Planet! :)

Mogo could have a secret identity! I could see 'him' floating around wearing a very large pair of glasses.

"I'm not Mogo, I'm Clark Kuiper, mild mannered planetoid for the Daily Planet?"

Man, I remember reading lettercols from the first time they did a Green Lantern Corps book and everyone was saying "This is a completely unworkable team book, everyone has the same powers!"

They addressed this problem by giving the characters different personalities instead of relying on their powers to define them.

I remember that too, but we're not talking about a comic here, we're talking about 22min action adventure cartoon, I'm not sure it would work as well like that. I don't think the GLC has worked particularly well in any cartoon iteration I can think of, they look awesome, but as a team, they're very repetitive.

I think it's a great idea. :)
