Reviewer: Mark A. Rivera

Warner Premiere Home Video continues it’s stellar series of DC Universe animated films with the classic tale of the origins of Green Lantern in Green Lantern First Flight, which has been updated a bit for a new generation, but more or less stays true to the origins of how pilot Hal Jordan becomes a member of the Green Lantern Corps and is assigned to their most honored Guardian Sinestro for training unaware that the best among them will soon betray them to create his own peacekeeping force. The art is top notch as always and while there is some cartoon violence and even a few deaths, the movie has a few surprises in it and stays focused on the entire birth of the superhero/super villain paradigm. There are a few elements left open ended presumably to fans to fill in on their own. The picture quality is quite vibrant with a well-mixed English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Soundtrack along with English Subtitles For The Deaf And Hearing Impaired and French Language Subtitles encoded as options. The film is presented in a 16 by 9 enhanced matted widescreen aspect ratio.

Bonus materials include a standard definition digital copy of the film for Windows users as well as several featurettes that include a preview of the next DC Universe animated film Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (7:49) and featurettes promoting other DC Universe animated titles now available on home video that showcase Justice League: The New Frontier (10:44), Wonder Woman: The Amazon Princess (10:25), Batman: Gotham Knight (10:09), and the DC Comics event Blackest Night (8:51).

There are also featurettes focusing on the mythology of Green Lantern with New York Times Best Selling Writer Geoff John (8:41), character profiles for The Guardians of the Universe (3:39) and Sinestro (4:01) as well as three animated bonus shorts handpicked by Bruce Timm. These are two episodes of Justice League Unlimited that run approximately 23 minutes each and a crossover episode of Duck Dodgers entitled The Green Loontern (22:22).

The menus on both discs are standard interactive still frames that are easy to navigate. Green Lantern: First Light: 2-Disc Digital Copy Special Edition is available on DVD-Video at retailers on and offline now courtesy of Warner Premiere Home Video.
