I am so excited to see this cartoon, I set my DVR to record the whole series. Looks wonderful. Best of all, the animated DVDs of the Green Lantern movies Emerald Knights and First Flight make me realize what a rich resource this is, they could fill the cartoon with so many GLs,I would love a team up of Hal, Kyle, Guy, John, and Killowag, and so many bad guys, like how Emerald Knights mentioned the Sinestro War and Chronos (I think he was called), and story lines like Blackest Knight or something. We might finally see all this awesomeness brought into the cartoon.

Review: Green Lantern: The Animated Series Ep. 1 & 2 "Beware My Power"
i will be giving this series ONE chance at the first two episodes and im gone. this is just trash. but we'll see how it turns out.
and just because this is bruce timm and all he's done for batman..doesn't mean he'd do as well with green lantern!? i mean thats like when MJ went from basketball to golf...look what happened lol
I think I'll probably watch this, though the CG could be bettter, in terms of lighting on the costumes and stuff (it still looks lkike everything's made of Jello). Loved the Incredibles comparison, that helps (now that I can see it), and justifies why some of the models are so... quirky. I like Kevin Michael Richardson, who voiced Static's dad in Static Shock, the Joker in The Batman, Tawky Tawny in the DCU DTV with Capt. Marvel and Supes, and about a thousand other awesome characters. I'm looking forward to him as Kilowog, especially since he's a little more "hard-nosed" than the characters Kevin tends to play.
Reading TAS and hearing him say "I am vengeance" in my head I already completed it to "I am the night, I AM BATMAN!"
I love GL and I love Bruce Timm's works. But this is just hard to look at. I have a background in 3D animation and the lack of textures here is simply a chore to watch.
With that said, I'm still gonna check it out. Perhaps the stories have some redeeming factor in them.
Combine Bruce Timm's story telling, Josh Keaton's voice, and my recently dethroned favorite comic franchise. I'm sold.
To be clear, GL and it's affiliates were my favorite comics up until War of the Green Lanterns. In the new 52, New Guardians is still awesome but Batman and Teen Titans have dethroned the other GL books as my favorite.
@thanosrules:
Just caught it last night. CGI wise, seems that Hal is in the mold of the Incredibles, which personally I'm not a huge fan of. Everyone one else seems ok from CGI design. That's really my only con. Not a major follower of the GL comics, only remember GL (Hal Jordan) from his appearances through old cartoons, so not very familiar with his personality. From what I gather, Hal is a bit cocky, since is a test pilot in his other life.
What I like is the use of the Red Lanterns as the villains. Something different than the usual Sinestro Corps. Won't spoil it for others, but I doubt how the show has been setup that we will be seeing any of the other "Earth" GLs make an appearance.
And Timm knocks it out the park once again! I loved this series, when I saw the trailer I didnt had any faith in it, but is really good, the character designs are awesome, I really liked the design for Razor the Angsty Red Lantern, and I liked AYA, is a good concept, " The Fastest Ship made by sentient life" is a really good title and it fits with Hal
I watched the first 2 episodes and to tell the truth I was very unimpressed. The animation was OK but if they are going to use 3D animation I was expecting more. Honestly I think they could have done a better job with traditional animation. The voice active was good now only if the animation and story could be improved I might watch more.
Saw the first episode. Okay, you can argue about animation vs CGI all day. Let's not forget that this WAS a Green Lantern epsiode, not Batman, not Superman or some idiotic version of Teen Titans. At least they are trying and the storyline wasn't half bad. Nice to see Ganthet still going around the Guardians to get things done. My only complain is the actual figure work. Just like Batman and SUperman, we have individuals draw with a chest five times too large. What is it here? Are they housing a few hundred chest bursting alien larva? I mean, I don't mind the extensive muscling but really, do we have to have normal humans look like their chest is going to explode? I would add that this type of artwork seems to apply only to male chracters. Wonder why? Guess the artists don't want to expand the DCU in that way. LOL
I was very pleased with the story and heart of the show. I'm gonna need some time to get used to Hal since I became aware of the GLs watching Justice League, but so far I'm loving it.
