Green Lantern: The Animated Series

School of Movies

[School of Everything Else 2023]

This is the good stuff. Look no further than the 2012-2013 one-season 3D animated show for the absolute best Green Lantern experience. Co-Created Giancarlo Volpe of Avatar and Bruce Timm, one of the key figures in the beloved and critically acclaimed classics of Batman: The Animated Series, along with the connected Superman, Batman Beyond, Justice League Unlimited, all of which constitute a true encapsulation of the DC comic heroes.

What we have here is the archival spoiler-free section from our 2013 Digital Gonzo episode talking about this fantastic cartoon. That is then followed by a 90-minute, spoilerific contemporary discussion about what happens to the various characters. This series is so unappreciated that we actively recommend you listening to this whole thing. It's the NOBODY watching it that's the real spoiler.

• Hal Jordan (Earth's GL lost in space with this tiny crew)
• Razer (A disgraced Red Lantern trying to make amends)
• Aya (The prototype ship's computer, learning everything about the universe)
• Kilowog (A Bolovaxian GL, big, blunt and kind-hearted)

Many thanks to our guests, both old and new.
