Television
[edit]Animation
[edit]The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure
[edit]Hal Jordan was the featured character in a solo series which was part of The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure (1967) as well as part of the Justice League segments. These would be the character's first animated appearances. Gerald Mohr is the voice of Green Lantern.
Super Friends
[edit]Hal Jordan is a supporting character in the various incarnations of Super Friends, voiced by Michael Rye.
Justice League
[edit]John Stewart is a member of the Justice League in Justice League, voiced by Phil LaMarr. In this series, Stewart's ring was initially constrained to permitting him to fly, generating a protective force field, creating walls, and firing energy blasts; this limitation was established as being due to his mindset, not an inherent limitation of the ring itself. After being berated by Katma Tui for his unimaginative use of the ring, Stewart has learned to generate complex tools and weapons. In a development not seen in any other version of the Green Lantern mythos, Stewart's eyes glow green when wearing his charged power ring. The glow fades when the ring runs out of power. The series has been inconsistent about the ring's effectiveness against yellow; Stewart is seen fighting Sinestro in one episode, and the yellow energy does not prove to be a significant problem for him, although in a later episode of Justice League Unlimited, Lex Luthor in Flash's body threw yellow Jell-O at him, breaking his force field. In the JL continuity, Stewart begins to develop an intimate relationship with Shayera Hol, and their feelings for each other persist even after the events of the episode "Starcrossed", and are slowly being rebuilt in the course of the Justice League Unlimited series (even though Stewart has at that time entered a relationship with Vixen), the result of which is John and Shayera's son, the future superhero Rex Stewart/Warhawk. In Justice League Unlimited, his appearance is slightly tweaked, having a bald head and goatee beard, and the green portions of his Lantern outfit now being mint green. Stewart maintains much of a soldier's attitude in his personal life, being stern and no-nonsense, which is somewhat offset by his relationship with the Flash, with whom he is very close despite their radically differing personalities. He is also a close friend of former U.S.M.C. comrade Rex Mason, and revealed in "Ancient History" to be a reincarnation of Bashari of ancient Egypt, where he was Princess Chay-Ara Hol's secret lover and killed by Hath-Set.
Other DCAU appearances
[edit]- Kyle Rayner appears as Green Lantern in the Superman: The Animated Series episode "In Brightest Day...", voiced by Michael P. Greco. This version is a Daily Planet artist recruited by Abin Sur, and fights Sinestro alongside Superman. Additionally, a character resembling Guy Gardner makes a cameo as a mugger who steals Jimmy Olsen's camera.
- Rayner is briefly mentioned in one episode of Justice League and appears attending Superman's funeral in "Hereafter". He later reappears in the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Return", being voiced by Will Friedle and bearing a far greater resemblance to his comics counterpart. Rayner's appearance (where he and the Corps unsuccessfully attempted to defend Oa from Amazo) finally explains why Stewart is the Green Lantern of Earth; Rayner had been stationed on Oa all along.
- A character known as Scott Mason / Green Guardsman, voiced by William Katt, appears in the two-part Justice League episode "Legends", in which Stewart and several other members travel to a parallel universe. This other universe has its own superhero group, the Justice Guild of America, whose members are modeled on Golden Age versions of the Justice Society of America characters. Green Guardsman is an homage to the Golden Age Green Lantern, having a highly specific weakness to aluminium similar to Scott's weakness to wood.
- John Stewart makes guest appearances in the Static Shock episodes "A League of Their Own" and "Fallen Hero".
- "The Call", a two-part episode of Batman Beyond, features a future Justice League that includes a Green Lantern who was an eight-year-old Asian child; he later appears as a young adult in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue". His name was Kai-ro, a tribute to Kairo, Green Lantern's alien sidekick on The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. Kai-ro is voiced by Lauren Tom.
- Hal Jordan appears briefly in the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Once and Future Thing, Part 2: Time, Warped", voiced by Adam Baldwin. The time-traveling villain Chronos causes the timeline to become unstable, with characters changing or disappearing as their history is altered. At one point, Stewart morphs into Jordan, who aids the other characters for several minutes before changing back into Stewart.
Duck Dodgers
[edit]The Duck Dodgers episode "The Green Loontern" includes appearances by many members of the Green Lantern Corps. In this episode, a mixup at the dry cleaners results in Dodgers (Daffy Duck) getting Jordan's outfit and ring. Filmmaker and comics fan Kevin Smith provided the voice of Jordan for this cameo. Other Green Lanterns that appear in this episode are Kilowog (voiced by John DiMaggio), Katma Tui (voiced by Tara Strong), Boodikka (voiced by Grey DeLisle), Ch'p (voiced by Frank Welker), and Sinestro (voiced by John de Lancie), as well as nonspeaking appearances by Stewart, Arisia Rrab, G'nort, and Guy Gardner.
The Batman
[edit]In the fourth-season finale of The Batman, "The Joining", the Justice League is introduced. Hal Jordan is included among its members, in a non-speaking cameo. He next appears in the fifth-season episode "Ring Toss", voiced by Dermot Mulroney, and again in the two-part series finale, "Lost Heroes".
Batman: The Brave and the Bold
[edit]Guy Gardner appears in multiple episodes of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, voiced by James Arnold Taylor. He appears briefly in the pre-title segment of "Day of the Dark Knight!", in which he ignores Batman's advice and accidentally frees an imprisoned alien by pouring coffee on him.
In the episode "The Eyes of Despero!", Gardner, G'nort, Sinestro and Mogo join forces with the Batman to stop the villain Despero from using his mental powers to turn the Green Lantern Corps into an army of mind controlled slaves. Other members of the Lantern Corps are seen, including Ch'p, Kilowog, Medphyll, and Hal Jordan. Jordan later makes a cameo appearance as a member of the original Justice League of America in "Sidekicks Assemble!", and is mentioned in "Darkseid Descending!" when Guy joins the Justice League International. A heroic version of Sinestro briefly appears "Deep Cover for Batman!", being held captive by the Injustice Syndicate. In this series, Hal is voiced by Loren Lester, Sinestro is voiced by Xander Berkeley, G'nort is voiced by Alexander Polinsky, and the Guardians are voiced by J. K. Simmons and Armin Shimerman. In the episode "Crisis: 22,300 Miles Above Earth!", Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern, appears as a member of the Justice Society of America. The JSA and the new Justice League International are meeting at a mixer on the Watchtower. The JSA is quickly disappointed when they learn they were not meeting the original Justice League which had broken up recently. Things get bad and both teams start fighting each other. Meanwhile, Batman is trying to stop Ra's Al Ghul from firing a fusion rocket into the sun triggering solar flares that will melt the polar ice caps and flood the planet. He sends a distress signal to the Watchtower and the two leagues stop fighting and team up to defeat Ra's. In this episode, he is voiced by Corey Burton.
Young Justice
[edit]Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner and Alan Scott appear in Young Justice. Jordan and Stewart appear as members of the Justice League, while Scott appears as a member of the Justice Society. Jordan and Stewart make their first appearances in the episode "Fireworks", Gardner appears in "Revelation" in a cameo to help the Justice League, and Scott appears in the episode "Humanity" in a flashback. None of them are voiced except for Stewart, who was voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson in the episode "Failsafe".

Harley Quinn
[edit]John Stewart appears in Harley Quinn, as a non speaking character. After Gotham City was overtaken by evil trees created by Scarecrow using Poison Ivy's pheromones, he and his Justice League teammates stopped the trees. The League initially thought that Harley Quinn and her crew were responsible for the attacks due to Poison Ivy's ability to control nature. However, they soon proved their innocence. Before they could find out who was really responsible, Queen of Fables showed up and trapped them all in her story book as revenge for imprisoning her in a U.S. tax code book many years ago. In season two, Stewart and the rest of the Justice League was released from the book, by Zatanna Zatara, in order to help stopping Dr. Psycho and his Parademon army. In season four, he attended Nightwing's funeral, paying his respects.
Live-action
[edit]- Howard Murphy played Green Lantern in the live action Legends of the Superheroes TV specials in 1979. Sinestro was played by Charlie Callas.
- The unsuccessful 1997 pilot for a live-action Justice League of America television series included Matthew Settle as Guy Gardner, although the pilot's Green Lantern uses only the name and costume of the comic book Gardner.
- Alan Scott briefly appears in the Smallville episode "Absolute Justice" which featured the Justice Society of America. He is a superhero in the 1970s and a CEO of an unnamed broadcasting company, who was arrested for fraud by the government in a mission to take down the Justice Society of America. He, like the others, tried to take the blame for all crimes, though he and the rest were never convicted. As the law was now aware of his superhero identity, Scott retired from heroics. In 2010, Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan find old black-and-white footage of Alan (his power ring is visible on his left hand), along with his criminal record. Very little is said about him, other than that he is the CEO of a broadcasting company, but it was confirmed that he was still alive by Stargirl and hinted at that he had children. His power ring and Lantern battery are later shown in a display case at the JSA Brownstone, as well as in his portrait in a JSA painting. Alan Scott is played by Doug Pinton. Subsequently, John Stewart and the Green Lantern Corps appear in the comic book continuation of the show.
- Within the Arrowverse, there are several references and nods to the Green Lantern Corps and its related characters.
- Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim tweeted a photo of Ferris Air with the slogan "We fly without Fear" as an easter egg of Green Lantern, with the location itself later showing up in the Arrow spin-off, The Flash.[2] The series' star, Stephen Amell, has talked about seeing Green Lantern in the series.[3] In the season 4 premiere episode, "Green Arrow", an aviator jacket with the name "Jordan" appears at a bar where Oliver Queen and Amanda Waller are seen discussing a mission along with a billboard proclaiming "In brightest day, In blackest night, Come to Coast City, When money's tight". Another nod takes place in the season seven episode, "Spartan", when Oliver's friend, John Diggle's stepfather's name is revealed as Roy Stewart (portrayed by Ernie Hudson).[4] In the end of the series finale episode, "Fadeout", Diggle seemingly receives a power ring that falls from the sky.
- In The Flash episode, "Rogue Air", the Flash himself mentions that Ferris Air shut down after one of their test pilots disappeared; alluding to Hal Jordan. In a later episode, "Welcome to Earth-2", the name "Hal" is seen on a list of contacts on a phone at Earth-2 Barry and Iris's home. In the episode, "Good-Bye Vibrations", Carrie Bates/Rainbow Raider 2.0 steals an air blimp from Ferris Air.
- Alan Scott is mentioned in Legends of Tomorrow as the father of Obsidian (Todd Rice).[5][6]
- In the Elseworlds crossover event, Barry Allen of Earth-90 indicates that on his Earth, Diggle is a Green Lantern when he mistook Earth-1 Diggle for his version and asked him where his ring was.
- During the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event, footage from the film Green Lantern was used to establish the existence of the Green Lantern Corps within the universe of Earth-12.
- Alan Scott appears in the DC Universe series Stargirl as a member of the Justice Society. Scott's daughter, Jennie makes her first live action appearance in season 2 portrayed by Ysa Penarejo.[7]
- A live-action Green Lantern TV series is currently in the works for HBO Max. Initially Greg Berlanti was set to produce and Seth Grahame-Smith initially served as the showrunner and co-writer with Marc Guggenheim. The show was intended to focus on multiple human Green Lanterns such as Alan Scott (Jeremy Irvine),[8] Guy Gardner (Finn Wittrock),[9] Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz, Kilowog and other original characters.[10] The show however underwent redevelopment in October 2022, with Grahame-Smith leaving the project and John Stewart becoming the central character.[11] The series' title was revealed to be Lanterns in January 2023. The version with Berlanti was confirmed to have been cancelled, with this new series focusing on Stewart and Hal Jordan ( Kyle Chandler) as part of DC Studios' new shared universe.[12] It was revealed that Nathan Fillion will reprise his role as Guy Gardner from Superman in the series.[13]
Films
[edit]Live action
[edit]Green Lantern
[edit]A live-action film titled Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan and directed by Martin Campbell was released on June 17, 2011.[14] The film, being the character's first theatrical appearance, featured an origin story. The movie was neither well-received nor financially successful. Some of the film's most criticized aspects were the CGI elements that featured heavily.
DC Extended Universe
[edit]Justice League (2017)
[edit]Green Lantern Yalan Gur, appears in a flashback in Justice League (2017), during the sequence which depicts Mankind, Amazonians, Atlanteans, the Olympians and the Lantern fighting Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons. The Lantern conjures a giant hammer with their power ring to fight the armies of Apokolips, but is overpowered and killed by Steppenwolf. The power ring then leaves their finger and flies away to find a new worthy individual to inherit it.[15]
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
[edit]This section may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience.(February 2022) |
Director Zack Snyder confirmed on Christmas 2020, that in Zack Snyder's Justice League, Green Lantern is part of his Justice League and has confirmed Hal Jordan is "at another location" in response to a fan asking if Hal is at star labs or somewhere else, confirming Jordan's existence in his universe and possibly in the film.[16] Kevin Smith confirmed in January 2019 that a scene was filmed in Principal Photography featuring a Green Lantern and Alfred at Bruce Wayne's lake house but was later reshot by Snyder with Superman. The latter version was included in the home release of Justice League as part of a deleted scene segment titled The Return of Superman.[17][18] He also confirmed Green Lanterns and the Green Lantern Corps played a significant part in Snyder's planned Justice League trilogy and presumably the then planned Green Lantern Corps film, (see below), as before September 2017, it was planned to take place in Snyder's universe and meant to tie in to Snyder's planned Justice League trilogy.[19] However, the failure of Justice League (2017) and success of Wonder Woman caused Warner Bros. to shift away from Snyder's vision.[20][21] A scrapped credits scene featuring Kilowog and Tomar-Re visiting Bruce Wayne at his lake house in night was cut in post production in 2017. All of this was to set up Justice League sequels and the then planned Green Lantern Corps movie.[22][23] Zack Snyder revealed he had planned for John Stewart to appear at the end of the film along with another Green Lantern, likely Kilowog and Tomar-Re. He said he filmed half of it back in 2016 during principal photography in London, with green lights shining on Alfred/Bruce. He intended to complete it as part of pick-ups shooting later in post-production but left the movie. When his movie got green lit, he finished shooting it with a theater actor Wayne T. Carr at Snyder's house on the driveway. The scene was later repurposed then to have both Stewart and Martian Manhunter talking to Bruce.[24][25][26][27] However, Warner Bros. did not like the idea of Snyder introducing John Stewart as they have their own ideas for him elsewhere not connected to Snyder's universe. Thus, a compromise was made and Snyder repurposed the scene to feature Martian Manhunter, revealed earlier in the film to be General Calvin Swanwick, first introduced in Man of Steel, played by Harry Lennix. He visits Bruce Wayne at his lake house which was shot in late October 2020 during additional photography for the film.[28][29] Snyder also revealed he had an early idea for an additional Lantern in that scene to be played by Ryan Reynolds, but scrapped it early on and never spoke to him about it.[30][31]
Green Lantern Corps
[edit]A rebooted adaptation of the Green Lantern titled Green Lantern Corps was first announced as part of the DC Extended Universe in 2016. It was intended to be the tenth installment of the universe.[32] The movie would have reportedly featured numerous Green Lanterns, with Hal Jordan or John Stewart from earth as central characters. It was later stated that both of those characters, along with the Green Lantern Corps may appear in Justice League sequels.[33][34] In January 2017, Deadline reported that David S. Goyer and Justin Rhodes were hired as co-screenwriters, with the story written by Goyer and Geoff Johns. Goyer will also produce the film with Johns and Jon Berg.[35][36] In June 2018, Geoff Johns was hired to re-write the script, in addition to producing, with Johns stating that the script will draw inspiration from his New 52 run of the character.[37] In July 2019, Christopher McQuarrie said that he had sent a proposal to Warner Bros. a year prior, which had ties to the Man of Steel sequel, but he moved onto other projects due to what he perceived as no progress on developing the film.[38] By November 2019, Johns was expected to deliver his script by the end of that year.[39] As of 2021, it seems the movie was reworked into the recently announced Green Lantern HBO Max series.[40] On April 1, 2021, The Hollywood Reporter revealed the film is in development again at Warner Bros. John Stewart will be featured in it as confirmed by Zack Snyder who said he was forced by Warner Bros. to remove his own in-universe version of the character from his movie.[24][41]
