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.
