Green Lantern: The Animated Series not only stars comic-accurate depictions of Hal Jordan and Kilowog, but also two newcomers: the sapient artificial intelligence system Aya and the redeemed Red Lantern Razer. While all four lead characters developed throughout the series, Razer’s gradual redemption and the apparent death of Aya were not concluded when it ended, making the show’s cancelation even more agonizing for viewers. Green Lantern’s loving depiction of the Green Lantern mythos and its four compelling main characters make it as worthy of a revival as Young Justice, though a revival never seemed likely until recently.
