Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough character and production design is copied directly from Green Lantern: First Flight (2009), this is essentially a reboot of the previous film happening in a different time line. For example, in First Flight, Arisa is already established as a Green Lantern and Hal Jordan is the newcomer while in Emerald Knights, she is the rookie and Hal Jordan is the trainer. In First Flight, Sinestro obtains the yellow power ring and becomes the villain while in Emerald Knights, he's still a member of the Green Lantern Corps and his fate as leader of the Sinestro Corps is predicted to happen much later. Finally in First Flight, the individual power batteries were eliminated as was the need for regular recharging and the Oath was only used on special occasions. In Emerald Knights, the individual batteries are restored, the rings are recharged at regular intervals and the Oath is recited with each recharging (which is more consistent with the comic book story lines).
- GoofsGreen Lantern green uniforms are provided by their rings, projected by them, when members remove their rings their clothes revert to the normal clothes they were wearing when they put it on. When Deegan confiscates the rings from his recruits, they're still wearing their green uniforms, which get torn and damaged like normal clothes.
- Crazy creditsThe Warner Bros and DC Comics logos are shaded green and are luminescent.

Featured review

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I don't give Green Lantern enough credit, and have always viewed them as a bit silly or forgettable. This was a nice treat to change my mind and view of the Corps.
Visually stunning, some truly lovely and very exciting scenes were created to showcase the Lantern abilities, and I loved every scene for its artistic choices and color pallet. They paired well with each storyline, which was well laid out for the audience that didn't know much about them and their past. It was great to get Green Lantern history piece by piece, and Nathan Fillion was the perfect narrator- his voice is always a treat to me.
I did find myself struggling to pay attention as this is largely a bunch of small stories with an overarching but not very deeply delved into story in the background. It took me 3 different sessions to finish this movie cause I felt my mind wandering off. This may not be entirely due to the pacing, but certainly a portion of it.
In all, I would recommend this to DC movie lovers and beginners alike. One of my favorite DC animated movies so far. Great choices were made to put this together, and it deserves a higher overall rating.
