DC Universe Online Best Friends contest

DC Universe Online wants to know who your favorite hero or villain is in the DC Comics Universe. From the picture you can tell that mine is Wonder Woman. Sony Online Entertainment want fans to submit videos on the official MySpace site (http://www.myspace.com/dcuo) or at SOE’s booth #5201 at San Diego Comic-Con.

Bruce Timm is the Executive Producer on Green Lantern: First Flight and is finally giving his thoughts in a Q&A about the film.

QUESTION: There was no downtime for you and director Lauren Montgomery between Wonder Woman and Green Lantern: First Flight. How did you two make that quick transition, and what kept it fresh for you? BRUCE TIMM: Lauren did such a great job on Wonder Woman, she was immediately my first choice for Green Lantern.
