Very well done. Great respect for the character but does fall into the same problem all green Lantern stories do: the lanterns are not creative enough. Very good but not perfect

It was kinda confusing at first seeing Hal in the animated universe. The animated universe never used Hal Jordan as the green lantern. Superman introduced Kyle Rayner and Justice League used John Stewart. But this series was opened that it technically could have been before the Justice League series. Anyway the show was canceled just as it was getting good same as Young Justice. Cartoon Network totally jumped ship on both shows for Teen Titans Go.. Which is fine if you prefer the kiddies show.

This show is a must watch! The characters that we know and the new ones we discover all come to life beautifully in this series. The morals and adventure ate top notch and great for all ages. Not just for fans of the comics.
