What Happened to Green Lantern: The Animated Series? (Cancelled Season 2 Plans)

Фильм және анимация

Green Lantern had one of the greatest superhero cartoons ever made, beloved by most people who saw it, and yet... it was tragically cutshort. In this video I breakdown every unmade storyline the creators' of the show planned to make in the cancelled Season 2.

    They actually had plans to adapt Blackest Night in the second half of season 2. They got away with a lot of the deaths in season 1 because they told the higher ups they were going to bring them back anyway as Black Lanterns. So, the BLs would've been composed of everyone who died so far in the show. They even foreshadow this with both Scar being in the show and the Black Lantern book in her shelf.

    Bit of a bonus addon to Young Justice throwing Razer back into the mix, there's also an Aya easter egg in Justice League Action. In one episode, the hero(?) Space Cabbie is helping Hal Jordan against Lobo, making use of an onboard navigation system to assist, which is heavily implied at the end of the episode to be Aya when she notes that she's actually a disembodied AI and flies off in search of 'someone'. Really hope DC can flesh out this ship at some point, those two have been apart long enough.

    And with Green Lanterns expanding their human roster, I would love to see Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz, Jessica Cruz, Jo Mullen, and even possibly Teen Lantern in the series. I always thought that Green Lantern has so much lore and stories that are just as good or if not better than the lore and stories that is based around Batman, but DC and WB are always so inconsistent and rely on Batman so much that it wastes those characters potential in popularity.

    Just watched the show. Ive always loved Green Lantern, have watched all the movies and stuff, but I never watched the series for some reason. Safe to say though, I finally got to it and it's my favorite DC show ever. I never watched Young Justice either, but I did watch the episode with Razer in it and I was freaking out. Makes me so sad that there is no season 2. Really really loved this show, and Razer is probably my new favorite DC character. Also, the blackest night is also references at Episode 24, Scarred at around 3 minutes in, when they go into the science directors room, you can see the whole book for it. I also would love to see some connections to other characters, when I saw the Thannagarians I was so hyped, it reminded me that there is a big universe out there, and that Batman, Superman, and the whole league can very well exist. I'm very worried that this show will never be renewed though, James gunn is making his new universe and he wants it to all be connected through movies, shows, ANIMATION, and video games. Which means likely that we will not see a Green Lantern Animated Series Season 2, I am excited for Gunns universe though, I am just upset to think that we may never see Razer and Aya ever again...

If it's any consolation to you though at least you'd have two nickels for every time a show with such ambition to tell much more dynamic storylines with love and care to the source material that unfortunately got canceled after 1 season/26 episodes, and starring Josh Keaton in the leading role. Weird and sad when you sit down and think about the fact it happened twice.

Despite what the directors said about his appearance in Young Justice, i still headcanon that it is the same person. I also like to think that Killowog's comment about the potential of Razer also wielding a green lantern ring, ontop of red and blue would make him powerful enough to open portals to other dimensions and continue his search.

    I wish this would come back too. It was one of my favorites along with Tron: Uprising. But alas, as adults we're weren't the intended audience of these shows. Kids were as they wanted toy sales and we (mostly...and you know who you are, lol) didn't buy toys. We liked the animation style and the storytelling aspect. Disney created a hell of a show with mature themes, rich storytelling and assembled an incredible cast (RIP Paul Reubens) for Tron: Uprising. Cartoon Network did exactly the same with Green Lantern too. But until they realize that animation isn't just for kids (i.e. Archer, Family Guy, South Park, the Simpsons, etc.), then we are doomed to have 1 season or less shows like this. It sucks, but I guess it's the current reality. Which is a shame, because you can pull from a larger voice actor pool too as age isn't necessarily a factor in animation! For hope burns bright! #saveTronUprising #saveGreenLantern

    Watch Justice League Action “Barehanded” GL( Hal ) )voiced by same actor as GL animated series loses his ring. gets in space taxi to track down ring. The cabbie just downloaded a new GPS(voiced by Aya voice actress). At the end GPS says she’s a disembodied AI who is on a quest to find something or someone. She turns into a green ball (resembling Aya original orb form) and starts her quest. This is after she said that GL seemed familiar to her. So Aya is out in DCEU looking for Razer.
