The campy Green Hornet is back. Seth Rogen sheds a new comedic dimension to the 60’s popular second banana series to the Batman iconic TV show of the time. The movie will hit theaters in 2011. This should get heavy play at Comic-Con this year.
The Green Hornet is a masked superhero, created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker for an American radio program in the 1930s. The character also has appeared in film serials in the 1940s, a network television program in the 1960s, and multiple comic book series from the 1940s to the present (2010).
