Warning: MINOR SPOILERS Green Lantern: Beware of my power Before!
It’s been a while since the DC Universe’s Green Lantern corner was able to take center stage outside of the comics. Sure, various versions of the Emerald Knight have appeared here and there in supporting roles, but this was very different from 2011, which brought so much live action directed by Ryan Reynolds. The Green Lantern animated films and films Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. Well, this drought is finally coming to an end, like Green Lantern: Beware of my power is finally here to shed some light on John Stewart, and writers Ernie Altbacker and John Semper have shared some of their proudest moments in the new DC movie with Gossipify.
Located in the same continuity as Superman: the man of tomorrow, Society of Justice: World War II Yes Batman: The long Halloween, Green Lantern: Beware of my power stars black adamAldis Hodge as John Stewart, a recently discharged marine sniper who inherits a green energy ring that can fly him, channel his will into physical constructs, and more. Ernie Altbacker and John Semper wrote the film together years ago, and I was curious if there were any moments, performances or general elements they were particularly proud of after seeing the full product. Initially, Altbacker, who has previous experience with this DC tradition of Green Lantern: the animated serieshad this to say beware of my power:
It’s just a short scene – the Guardian spaceship when it’s on fire, has these gadgets running, and you can hear the sound design. And I was like, ‘Oh wow, that’s really cute the way they animated it.’ And then from this upside-down screen where you see this big battle against the Green Lanterns, which looks like the bridge scene in Apocalypse Now, where it’s like “Who’s in charge?” ‘I thought you were!’ I loved how animated they were. I couldn’t believe how complex this scene was. Many things have happened in this framework. The poor animators who had to do this really have something to be proud of, because there was so much to do in those environments. But there are also a lot of great quiet moments, like the relationship between John Stewart and Green Arrow from start to finish. Ollie doesn’t like it [John] and suspect it [and it evolves into] being a thriving friendship. And all those scenes were really good. They were really efficient.
Without going into deep spoilers, the legacy of John Stewart’s Green Lantern Ring also leads him to find himself aboard a spaceship piloted by the last Guardian of the Universe. Sure, a Green Lantern can fly far enough on its own, but when you’re accompanied by allies who can’t channel that emerald energy, a spaceship like this comes in handy. By the way, although John is undoubtedly the protagonist of Green Lantern: Beware of my poweris supported by heroes like Jimmi Simpson’s Green Arrow, with the two sharing a similar dynamic to Hal Jordan and Oliver Queen throughout the “Hard-Traveling Heroes” arc in the comics.
Then there is John Semper, known for his time in Spider-Man: the animated series and previously wrote for Phil LaMarr’s version of John Stewart on the static shock “Fallen Hero” episode. As for what he particularly liked Green Lantern: Beware of my power in full shape, Semper first mentioned the opening sequence which provides an insight into John Stewart’s time in the military and also mentioned the inclusion of the classic Green Lantern oath. In his words:
I like the openness, I thought it was powerful. The story got off to a good start. I thought the animation was really solid, I thought the art direction was really solid. There are some favorite moments. I was telling a previous interviewer that the Green Lantern Oath was very important to me, and using it in the end was something I made sure it happened exactly as it ended up on screen. Whenever someone at our various conferences said, ‘Well, do we really need to do that?’ “Yes, we really have to because it’s something important. Don’t even touch it, don’t think about changing it. So I love that part, both when he says it for the first time and the last time he says it, I love that it’s there.
John Semper also highlighted a phrase he came up with that John Stewart says after learning that the power of a Green Lantern is weak compared to the color yellow. As Semper explained:
One of my favorite lines I’ve written is when he is told that the color yellow can be used against him, or that he is helpless against the color yellow. The original line is: “I’ve faced a color barrier all my life and I haven’t let it stop me.” And they changed it slightly to “I faced this kind of obstacle”. And it doesn’t matter because it has the same meaning. I love this line. This line is, for me, once again, one of those plots that … sometimes as writers you fall in love with the lines and fall in love with the moments. It was one, and the oath of the lantern was another.
After putting the finishing touches on his script, the work of Ernie Altbacker and John Semper continues Green Lantern: Beware of my power was entrusted to director Jeff Wamester, who had previously directed Society of Justice: World War II. The film involves John, Green Arrow, Jamie Gray Hyder’s Hawkgirl (whom the actress described as having a “single mind”) and Brian Bloom’s Adam Strange reuniting in the midst of a war between Rann and Thanagar that also involves the Sinestro Corps. , with Sinestro himself voiced by Rick D. Wasserman. Other important characters in beware of my power include Ike Amadi’s Martian Manhunter, Keesha Sharp’s Vixen and Mara Junot’s Lyssa Drak.
