A week before Green Lantern comes out to the big screen, DC releases a animated DVD featuring the back story of the characters from Green Lantern Corps. I am not a comic fan of Green Lantern but I still found this interesting in the long run. In the animated DVD we follow a new recruit named Arisia, who is trying to earn her stripes. She follows Hal Jordan to learn the history of the other Green Lanterns. We see flash backs from Sinestro, Laira, Abin Sur, Kilowog, and others like Atrocitus. During the flashbacks, there is fear rising on the sun ready to attack the Green Lantern Corps. After hearing the stories now she has to face the attack with all her new comrades.
The director was Chris Berkeley who directed other animated series like Extreme Ghostbusters, Teen Titans, and Transformers. Writer was Alan Burnett who also wrote Green Lantern: First Flight and many Batman and Superman animated movies. Green Lantern: Emerald Knights has voice actors from Nathan Fillion who stars in Castle and Dr. Horribles Sing-Along Blog, Jason Isaacs, Elisabeth Moss, legend Roddy Piper, Henry Rollins, and Bruce Thomas.
If you are interested in the new Green Lantern movie this animated DVD is great to pick up to learn the history of the feature characters. I bet this DVD will make the new live action more enjoyable for all the new comers.
5 out of 5 Stars
