“Green Lantern”: The Complete Series was a blast to watch and I actually didn’t mind the changes to the character, based on what I read, or the animation style but it’s not for everyone. The stories are a lot of fun and I couldn’t wait for the next episode; it’s only a shame it got cancelled after only one season. The Blu-ray released through Warner Archive offers up solid video and audio transfers but it is unfortunate no bonus material was included.

SERIES SUMMARY
“Green Lantern” shines bright in DC’s radiant, groundbreaking CGI animated series. The Green Lantern Corps patrols the galaxy, fighting evil. But in the farthest reaches of deep space where few Lanterns patrol, a new evil is rising – the Red Lanterns! Hal Jordan (voiced by JOSH KEATON) and fellow Lantern Kilowog (KEVIN MICHAEL RICHARDSON) defy The Guardians of the Universe and board a new experimental spacecraft, the Interceptor, and race to the Guardian Frontier to face the evil Red Lanterns head-on.
But a menace lurks beyond the Red Lantern invasion, and Hal, Kilowog and fellow Green Lanterns Tomar-Re and Aya discover an even greater evil that threatens to extinguish all life. It’s an interstellar race to destroy the mechanical Manhunters, aid Saint Walker and his Blue Lanterns and stop the planet-eating Anti-Monitor.
SPECIAL FEATURES – 0/5
Unfortunately no features were included.
VIDEO – 4.5/5
“Green Lanter”: The Complete Series looks absolutely gorgeous in 1080p high-definition where colors have a tremendous pop off the screen and there are no major instances of banding which tend to occur with animated features. It’s a solid transfer for this underrated series.
AUDIO – 3.75/5
Also an upgrade, each episode has a DTS-HD MA Stereo track which, while not quite dynamic, does have some decent depth, dialogue levels are crisp and clear and the action scenes do pack a small punch from the front channels.
OVERALL – 3.0/5
Overall, “Green Lantern”: The Complete Series was a blast to watch and I actually didn’t mind the changes to the character, based on what I read, or the animation style but it’s not for everyone. The stories are a lot of fun and I couldn’t wait for the next episode; it’s only a shame it got cancelled after only one season. The Blu-ray released through Warner Archive offers up solid video and audio transfers but it is unfortunate no bonus material was included.
