With the recent release on DVD of the Rogen THE GREEN HORNET movie let's continue GH discussion in this line , instead of reviving the older lines , 'mm'kay ????? Hah ha .
How many different formats/versions of the DVD are out ?
Is there any site which will list the various versions of DVD packages , what versions of the film/what bonus footage/behind-the-scenes-whaterers there are ?
Has anyone seen the two 1940 GH serials , each with different Hornets ? Is there ever going to be legit release of the Van Williams series ? ( Presumably the Batman crossover episodes would be a BIIGG stumbling block . )
And , yes , DC's Hornet clone , the Crimson Avenger . How about him ?

...Oooohhkkaayy , I see I somehow double-posted .
Well , let's make this one the " real " one then .
For vintage Hornet comics has anybody seen the reprints of the very first , 1940 , Hornet comic book that I first read of when a HC was being solicited but came out in comic book first ?
They had covers by Joe Rubenstein and the credits seemed to imply that they were actual , at least in some cases , adaptations of the radio episodes .
They gave credit - in the original comic book , too - to Fran Striker , the head writer and , at the very least , co-creator of the Hornet , who is not mentioned in the Rogen's credits at all .
George W. Trendle Jr. , the ( Presumably pretty elderly now ! Sheesh ! ) son of Striker's boss at the Detroit radio station where the Hornet was created , gets his name on the Rogen movie as a producer - Intriguingly enough , IMDB lists two Hornet films from outside of the United States in the last part of the Twentieth Century which credit Striker as the creator , an upscale FRench fan film , and a professional Hong Kong feature which , though using the name of the Hornet as the title , focuses upon Kato as the latest in the line of Katos .
This might help with number of version of the DVD I saw the new film in theaters. I enjoyed it, it was fun but a little darker in tone than I expected.
A bar I go to has a movie screen up and show old movie serials and commercials all the time with out sounds. The Green Hornet is one of them but I don't usually pay attention to it. It's there to add to the atmosphere of the bar.

...What I meant was , the movie seemed to show the Hornet and Kato using Black Beauty's flame-jets function to " clean out " the ( we'll say it's ) meth lab - without any sign of the meth-manufacturers running out or any " covering " " Now that they're out , Hornet " dialogue first , IIRC .
I saw , and bought to-day , in ol' LCS issues #1 and #2 of THE GREEN HORNET: AFTERMATH from Dynamite , taking place in the movie's universe , after the movie .
Issue #1 was only $1.99 , whuich helped :-) !!!!!!!
At first glance I would assume " miniseries " but , in fact , there is no " _ of _ " numbering credit , so maybe they see this as an open-ended series ?????
