Green Lantern: Beware My Power - Exclusive Official Trailer (2022)

Bring John Stewart back to the forefront, and pairing him up with Hawkgirl? Getting strong JL/JLU vibes and I am here for it.

Forgot to mention that according to IGN, this comes out on July 26th, 2022.

In Green Lantern: Beware My Power, recently discharged Marine sniper John Stewart is at a crossroads in his life, one which is only complicated by receiving an extraterrestrial ring which grants him the powers of the Green Lantern of Earth. Unfortunately, the ring doesn’t come with instructions – but it does come with baggage, like a horde of interplanetary killers bent on eliminating every Green Lantern in the universe. Now, with the aid of the light-hearted Green Arrow, Adam Strange and Hawkgirl, this reluctant soldier must journey into the heart of a galactic Rann/Thanagar war and somehow succeed where all other Green Lanterns have failed.

SAG Award-winning actor Aldis Hodge (Black Adam, One Night in Miami, City on a Hill) takes the title role as John Stewart/Green Lantern, closely supported by Jimmi Simpson (Westworld, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Pachinko) as Green Arrow. The voice cast includes Ike Amadi (Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, Superman: Man of Tomorrow) as Martian Manhunter, Brian Bloom (The A-Team, Mass Effect) as Adam Strange, Jamie Gray Hyder (Law & Order: SVU, True Blood) as Hawkgirl, Mara Junot (Call of Duty franchise, Genshin Impact) as Lyssa Drak & Banth Dar, Jason J. Lewis (Justice League Action) as Ganthet & Captain Kantus, Keesha Sharp (Empire, Lethal Weapon) as Vixen, Simon Templeman (Uncharted franchise) as Sardath & Console Voice, Rick D. Wasserman (Batman: The Killing Joke) as Sinestro, Sunil Malhotra (Mortal Kombat 11, The Legend of Korra) as Power Ring and Rannian Commander, and additional voices provided by Nolan North (Young Justice, Rick and Morty, American Dad!).

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, the PG-13 rated Green Lantern: Beware My Power is directed by Jeff Wamester (Justice Society: World War II) from a script co-written by John Semper (Static Shock, Fraggle Rock) and Ernie Altbacker (Justice League Dark: Apokolips War). Jim Krieg (Justice League vs. The Fatal Five) is producer, supervising producer is Butch Lukic (Batman: The Long Halloween), and Sam Register is Executive Producer.

This looks good, and I’ll probably like it when I watch it, but I have a few possible nitpicks.

While I’m glad that Hal isn’t just being ignored, I really hope that he isn’t actually dead. I don’t see why they can’t have one Lantern be the solo movie Lantern while the other is the Lantern on the Justice League. Or have the Green Lantern movies be buddy-cop movies with both Hal and John as stars.

I’m not a fan of John’s origin involving a crashing spaceship like Hal’s, especially since that no doubt still happened to Hal in this universe, or the fact that a Guardian gave him the ring after the destruction of Oa like with Kyle’s origin. However, all of these are things that won’t effect my enjoyment. But there is one possible major problem…

I’m a fan of Hawkman and Hawkgirl/woman’s reincarnated lovers thing. Please, please, please let the Thanagar stuff be a red herring. Please don’t let this be Shayera. I understand the JLU versions of these charters are popular, but after all of the sh%t that the Hawks have been through in the comics, don’t they deserve to be happy and together in some media?

looks really good

If they are using John as the main lantern then they should use a different villain than Sinestro I think.

Lots of other good lantern villains.

Its been clear for awhile than John will be the main Lantern for DC going forward, especially since Cyborg did not work at all.

I will miss Hal, but I guess it's time for him to take a break for a few years.

I was worried that they were gonna push it back since we barely heard anything about this earlier this year. Glad everything is still in play and even more happy John Stewart getting some shine

speaking of which, what the freak is going on with the series?
