Green Lantern: Beware My Power

Soldier. Lantern. Hero.

RELEASED 26 Jul 20221h 28m★ 6.7 TMDB

Recently discharged Marine sniper John Stewart is at a crossroads in his life, one which is only complicated by receiving an extraterrestrial ring which grants him the powers of the Green Lantern of Earth. Unfortunately, the ring doesn't come with instructions - but it does come with baggage, like a horde of interplanetary killers bent on eliminating every Green Lantern in the universe. Now, with the aid of the light-hearted Green Arrow, Adam Strange and Hawkgirl, this reluctant soldier must journey into the heart of a galactic Rann/Thanagar war and somehow succeed where all other Green Lanterns have failed.

Why it matters in DC

John Stewart's entry into the Green Lantern role gives the Tomorrowverse another route into cosmic conflict. It broadens the animated collection's perspective beyond its initial Superman and Batman stories, while centring a different person within a familiar heroic identity.

Where it fits in the DC universe

Green Lantern: Beware My Power is title 5 of 10 in our Tomorrowverse viewing sequence. Beware My Power brings John Stewart into the Tomorrowverse's expanding superhero setting. The earlier films establish the collection around it, while later ensemble adventures use that broader world. The 2011 live-action Green Lantern and other animated Hal Jordan origins are separate interpretations, not required chapters of John's past here.
