He actually creates constructs while on the offensive and defensive. Wamester did make sure John’s power wasn’t simply displayed as laser beams. The animation style is similar to Superman: Man of Tomorrow, which kicked off the somewhat connected post-New 52 shared animated universe.

In the war flashbacks, John’s sniper shots can’t show any blood or gunshot wounds yet the film is full of bloody bodies to a point of excess. Wasserman) is here of course, but there’s also some surprising villains in supporting roles.ĭirector Jeff Wamester has a curious approach to violence. It’s at this point where the script takes a wrecking ball to the well-developed foundation and overloads the film with major storylines that are needlessly rushed through to check off the Green Lantern greatest hits checklist. John’s banter with Green Arrow works and the rivalry with Hawkgirl and Strange feels authentically like two warriors from opposite sides of a war forced to team up. The film really could have just focused on this mystery, had a big final fight and it would have been fine. Their investigation leads them to teaming with Hawkgirl (Jamie Grey Hyder) and Adam Strange (Brian Bloom). Green Arrow and John try to discover what happened to the Guardians and the true cause of a heated war between the Rann and Thanagarian races. Hal’s Justice League allies Vixen (Keesha Sharp), Martian Manhunter (Ike Amadi) and especially Hal’s best friend Green Arrow (Jimmi Simpson) aren’t willing to take this stranger at his word. Learning he’s replaced the presumed dead legendary Lantern Hal Jordan (Nolan North) is another surprise, but that’s what happens when a Guardian crash lands and tells John he’s the Corps’ last chance. Stewart is still adjusting to civilian life after serving time in the Army fighting in Afghanistan. That’s too much for a film that’s also trying to introduce new and very much reluctant John Stewart (Aldis Hodge, Black Adam) to the Green Lantern Corps. Instead, Beware My Power haphazardly tosses in elements from Emerald Twilight, Sinestro Corps War, The Rann/Thanagarian War and Zero Hour. Maybe the biggest frustration is the obvious notion that WBA could have crafted four or five great movies out of the works of Geoff Johns, Ron Marz, Peter Tomasi, Dave Gibbons and Dan Jurgens.
