JOSH KEATON VOICES GREEN LANTERN
Josh Keaton is providing the voice of Hal Jordan in Cartoon Network's Green Lantern: The Animated Series, The Continuum has learned.
Neither Cartoon Network nor Warner Bros. Animation would confirm the casting, but sources tell The Continuum Keaton has aleady voiced "many" episodes.
Keaton has numerous credits in the super-hero voiceover rrealm, most notably as Peter Parker/Spider-Man for two seasons of The Spectacular Spider-Man. He will also be voicing Spider-Man in the upcoming Spider-Man: Edge of Time video game, although, despite reports, he will not be Spidey in Marvel's upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man animated series.
Keaton also provided the voices of Flash and Aquaman in Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths and was Troy in Cartoon Network's Firebreather movie.
Green Lantern: The Animated Series is slated for 2012 by Cartoon Network. Here's how the network describes the show:
"As Earth's Green Lantern, Hal Jordan is used to being in dangerous situations -- but he's never faced anything like this! Set at the farthest reaches of deep space, Hal must face down an invasion from the Red Lantern Corps. Hal is soon joined by an all-new group of heroes on a mission to protect Guardian Space -- and the Green Lantern Corps itself!"
"Kilowog and Hal make a really good buddy cop kind of time," producer Bruce Timm told The Continuum at last weekend's WonderCon.
While the first 13 episodes will feature the Red Lantern Corps, the second 13 will feature the Manhunters.

Image Comics has announced new printings for five of its new titles.
Blue Estate #1, Green Wake #1, Nonplayer #1, Undying Love #1 and the second printing of The Infinite Vacation #1 have sold out at the distributor level and are going back to press.
"We set our print runs based off the orders we receive at final order cut-off, but more and more frequently, we're finding our overprint estimates aren't matching demand," said Image publisher Eric Stephenson. "Selling out is nice, but honestly, it's not helping anyone when the books aren't on the stands. Going back to press takes time, and I'd just as soon have the books available."
The second printings of Blue Estate #1 and Green Wake #1 will be in stores on May 4. The second printings of Nonplayer #1 and Undying Love #1 and the third printing of The Infinite Vacation #1 will be in stores on May 11.
