Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough character and production design is copied directly from Green Lantern: First Flight (2009), this is essentially a reboot of the previous film happening in a different time line. For example, in First Flight, Arisa is already established as a Green Lantern and Hal Jordan is the newcomer while in Emerald Knights, she is the rookie and Hal Jordan is the trainer. In First Flight, Sinestro obtains the yellow power ring and becomes the villain while in Emerald Knights, he's still a member of the Green Lantern Corps and his fate as leader of the Sinestro Corps is predicted to happen much later. Finally in First Flight, the individual power batteries were eliminated as was the need for regular recharging and the Oath was only used on special occasions. In Emerald Knights, the individual batteries are restored, the rings are recharged at regular intervals and the Oath is recited with each recharging (which is more consistent with the comic book story lines).
- GoofsGreen Lantern green uniforms are provided by their rings, projected by them, when members remove their rings their clothes revert to the normal clothes they were wearing when they put it on. When Deegan confiscates the rings from his recruits, they're still wearing their green uniforms, which get torn and damaged like normal clothes.
- Crazy creditsThe Warner Bros and DC Comics logos are shaded green and are luminescent.

Featured review
Green Lantern Emerald Knights: For fans only
Emerald Knights has a story it does, but it makes up a small percentage of the film as most of it is short tales being regaled to the newest member of the Lantern Corps.
Some are good, some are meh, but the whole thing felt very incomplete due to this.
With fantastic voice talent including Nathan Fillion, Henry Rollins & Kelly Hu the effort/budget clearly went into this but alike the original Green Lantern offering I simply don't get the appeal.
Weird aliens, bizzare powers and lore that keeps shifting.
What bugs me about all these animated movies is that they aren't connected and have no consistency. Characters who died are back, events that happened never took place etc etc and that's very evident here. They really need to make an animated universe and stick with it.
Emerald Knights isn't terrible, I'm just not the demographic.
The Good:
Opening sequence was brutal
Kelly Hu & Henry Rollins
The Bad:
Contradicts the lore in places
Spread rather thin
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
The guardians are smurfs
