Oooh, I cannot wait for this.  At Wonder Con tonight, more information was announced about DC next animated feature, Green Lantern: First Flight.  I am a huge Green Lantern fan.  This will be DC's fifth feature.  It'll have a PG-13 rating and be released on July 28. 2009.  There will be a single disc DVD version, a 2 disc special edition and a Blu-ray release.

Christopher Meloni ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit") will take the role of Hal Jordan.  Victor Garber ("Milk," "Titanic") will voice Sinestro, Tricia Helfer ("Battlestar Galactica") will voice Boodikka and MIchael Madsen will perform Kilowog.

Bruce Timm will be producing.  Lauren Montgomery ("Wonder Woman," "Superman: Doomsday") will direct.  Alan Burnett ("The Batman") is writing. The run time is estimated at 75 minutes.

Here is the synopsis:

The earthling soon discovers his mentor is actually the central figure in a secret conspiracy that threatens the philosophies, traditions and hierarchy of the entire Green Lantern Corps. Hal must quickly hone his newfound powers and combat the treasonous Lanterns within the ranks to maintain order in the universe.
