As anyone who watched the live-action version of Green Lantern will tell you, some comic book heroes are just meant to stay animated. The thing that makes The Green Lantern cool – in the comics and in this really cool looking Cartoon Network series — is the way that his power ring can become anything he can imagine, from a giant fist to helping hand. It’s just more believable to watch him use it in a totally animated world than it is in the ‘real’ world. The creative talents behind this series get that, and the effects they use to make the ring’s manifestations appear on the screen are amazing. The same goes for the world they set the Green Lantern’s adventures in, as well as the fellow Lanterns he interacts with. Good as the visual style of the series is, it’s the way everything you see is there only to support the story that makes it all work…that, and some fine voice acting from Josh Keaton (Transformers Prime) as Hal Jordan, Kevin Michael Richardson (Young Justice) as Kilowog and Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants) as Zilius Zox.
