Back in September, DC’s animated studio announced that after Batman/Superman: Public Enemies and Green Lantern: First Flight, the next film they would be taking on was an adaptation of DC’s alternate universes storyline, and a little bit of their “Crisis” plot. The film would be a hybrid of the two, focusing more on the alternate universe where the Justice League is an evil gang called the Crime Syndicate.

Much like DC’s other animated films, this project pulled no punches with their voice talent. With names like James Woods as Owlman, William Baldwin as Batman, Gina Torres as Super Woman, Mark Harmon as Superman, and even Erica Durance as Lois Lane, the film will be packed with plenty of talent.

The fllm is set to hit DVD and Blu-Ray on February 23rd, but before that even comes, the very first clip has hit the net, featuring the Justice League facing off against some alternate universe baddies. We were able to pick out evil Elongated Man (with a mohawk), evil Black Lighting (with bell-bottoms) and even evil Vixen (with pigtails).

Check out the clip after the jump, and let us know if we missed anybody.

Actress Juliet Landau is probably best known for two things. One, she played Spike’s somewhat eccentric love Drusilla on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel. She’s also the daughter of Hollywood icon Martin Landau, who’s career has spanned several decades and includes stage and screen.

However, in addition to the lovely Ms. Landau’s on-screen accomplishments, she’s also a respected comic book writer, having co-written some issues of IDW’s Angel comic book, and she’s also an accomplished voice actor who has lent her talents to projects such as Ben Ten: Alien Force and Justice League. He most recent voice acting project is Green Lantern First Flight, wherein she voices the character of Labella,  a flirtatious alien with ties to both Hal Jordan and Sinestro.

We caught up with Landau at the recent San Diego Comic-Con to get all the details of her role in Green Lantern First Flight — which drops on DVD today.

Check out the video of that interview after the jump.

For fans who just can’t get enough Green Lantern in their diet (the feature film and Blackest Night series wasn’t enough?), Warner Bros. has released exclusive footage of the animated film, Green Lantern: First Flight to UGO.

The two minute clip features Hal Jordan being, well, Hal Jordan. Green Lantern of Sector 2814, first earthman to wear the GL ring, renegade test pilot. He’s even got a sense of humor, which is evident in the construct he creates to fight an alien bug problem.

Green Lantern: First Flight will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray July 28.
