This episode marks the first time to feature the first animated appearances of many of the more popular Green Lanterns from the comic books, most prominently Boodika and Ch'p. Green Lanterns that were captured by Sinestro included Guy Gardiner, Salaak, Arissa, and John Stewart. Comic fan and writer Kevin Smith voiced the most famous Green Lantern, Hal Jordan.
The designs for the Green Lantern characters were derived from concept art for an unrealized Green Lantern animated series.
In "The Green Loontern," Dodgers temporarily becomes a Green Lantern (of DC Comics fame) after accidentally picking up the wrong laundry. Film director Kevin Smith has a cameo as the voice of Hal Jordan, when he finally shows up to reclaim his Power Ring and Superhero Suit.
Included as a special feature on the bluray release of Green Lantern: First Flight (2011).
