character designs and includes a cameo by Ch'p, who had a speaking role
in the previous film.
It
is the eleventh film released under the DC Universe Animated Original
Movies banner. It is also the second DC Animated Movie following Batman:
Gotham Knight to feature an anthology format, though unlike the latter,
it features a single, uniform animation and visual style and an overall
linking story. Animation was outsourced to Studio 4°C, JM Animation and
Studio Pierrot. The film received mixed-to-positive reviews with many
critics praising the animation, voice acting, and action sequences, but
criticizing the story and characterization.
Plot:
The sun of the Green Lanterns' homeworld, Oa, is becoming a gateway for
Krona, an anti-matter alien overlord that once sought to destroy all
life. As precaution the Guardians of the Universe decide to evacuate Oa
of all valuables, such as the Central Battery. While in line to charge
their rings before the Battery is taken away, Green Lantern Corps rookie
Arisia Rrab converses with Hal Jordan and expresses her self doubts as
the newest Green Lantern. In response, Hal tells her the story of the
first Green Lantern.
