Green lantern 20222/13/2024 ![]() We had newer characters that you don’t normally get to see. We were able to introduce other characters especially when we got to the watchtower and we had him interacting with the Justice League. We don’t have the usual Superman Batman Wonder Woman thing going on. And just introducing new and different characters. And that’s a character I’ve always really loved. The movie’s standalone but it really helps if you’ve seen that short, so that was kind of cool. With Adam Strange, there was a short that they did which was very much a prelude to this movie. Semper also spoke on Adam Strange’s inclusion as well as how the film would relate to previous animated projects and be unique from other DC output: RELATED: GREEN LANTERN BEWARE MY POWER: DIRECTOR JEFF WAMESTER TALKS JOHN STEWART, LOSS, & WORKING WITH ALDIS HODGE: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW I’m old enough to have been around and bought that comic when it first came out so the impact of that association, I remember it hitting me as a fan and we were able to recreate that”. So the Green Lantern Green Arrow dynamic, even though it was Hal Jordan in the original, but the Denny O’Neil Neal Adams comic book that sort of reintroduced that dynamic, or introduced that dynamic, that was a really important factor in this. I think when you do good writing, you never introduce a character that doesn’t move the main character’s story forward in some really exciting capacity. However, as mentioned above, Stewart is not the only DC superhero in this adventure, and Semper explained how they tied into the story of John Stewart here: This is far from Stewart’s first appearance in animated form though, as the character was a mainstay in the Justice League cartoon set within Bruce Timm’s DC Animated Universe (or Timmverse). We didn’t wanna dilute, and by we I mean Ernie my co-writer, and Jim Krieg, my producer, we did not want to dilute the attention and the energy away from this important character.” Why John Stewart is The True Green LanternĪ majority of the DC animated movies that have featured the Green Lantern up to this point have chosen popular favorite Hal Jordan for the role, so it is unique for Beware My Power to use Stewart. You do see, at least in effigy form you do see some other Green Lanterns so you know they exist but it was really important to just keep this focused on John. “It was important to really keep it focused on John. When asked by The Illuminerdi if he would have wanted to see cameos for any other Green Lanterns, Semper responded, The film features John Stewart’s Green Lantern as its primary character, with supporting roles for Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, Adam Strange, Martian Manhunter, and more for its space-set adventure. John Semper is one of the most respected names in the world of superhero animation, and The Illuminerdi got a chance to talk with him at San Diego Comic-Con about his recent animated film Green Lantern: Beware My Power (which he co-wrote with Ernie Altbacker).
