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
Green Lantern: Emerald Knight is a commendable addition to the DC animated universe
I recently watched Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011) on MAX. The plot revolves around a new recruit who is mentored by Hal Jordan to prepare for an impending threat to the universe. Jordan emphasizes the importance of understanding the history of the Green Lantern Corps as a lesson for facing future challenges.
Co-directed by three directors, the film features the voices of Nathan Fillion (The Suicide Squad), Jason Isaacs (The Patriot), Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale), Henry Rollins (Feast), and Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy).
This should have been called the Green Lantern Corps. While each story is well-written and enjoyable to follow, the first and last ones stand out as particularly strong. Witnessing the origins of the Green Lanterns was fun, and the animation style is solid, capturing the essence of the comic books. Additionally, the inclusion of a diverse range of characters from the universe adds depth to the narrative, with some surprising twists towards the end.
In conclusion, Green Lantern: Emerald Knight is a commendable addition to the DC animated universe. I would rate it between 6.5-7/10 and strongly recommend it.
