Trivia

The Broome-Kane star cluster to which the Guardians are moving important artifacts is a homage to John Broome and Gil Kane - the writer/artist team that introduced the Hal Jordan Green Lantern to DC in the 1960s.

At the end of the film Hal Jordan tells Arisia he will tell her the story of an adventure where the only backup he had was a squirrel. This is a reference to Ch'p, the squirrel-like Green Lantern from the comic book series who appears in background shots in this film.

Arisia, the teen-aged Green Lantern, is named after the home of the powerful race that supplies "Lenses" to the Galactic Patrol in E.E. "Doc" Smith's "Lensman" books. The Green Lantern comic was heavily influenced by the "Lensman" books.

Is this a sequel to Green Lantern: First Flight?

Apparently not. There was a proposal for a direct sequel to the Green Lantern: First Flight animated movie, but it was shot down because the earlier film didn't show a profit quickly enough. Green Lantern: Emerald Knights was green-lighted in order to tie into the marketing for live-action Green Lantern theatrical feature to be released in June 2011.

Who is directing?

Lauren Montgomery is co-directing along with Jay Oliva and Chris Berkeley. Montgomery has said that she is directing one of the short stories (the one that features Green Lantern Kilowog) plus the overarching story that links all of the segments together.

What is Green Lantern: Emerald Knights about?

Green Lantern is a comic book published by DC Comics. The Green Lantern Corps is an intergalactic peace-keeping force created by the extraterrestrial Guardians of Oa. According to Rob Allstetter's Comics Continuum (March 18th, 2010), "According to sources, the new Green Lantern animated project takes a look at the origins of the Green Lantern Corps, including the first ring wielders." Producer Bruce Timm confirmed that the movie is an anthology of 5 or 6 individual stories, "each story in it focuses on a different Green Lantern in the Green Lantern Corps." Segments will focus on the characters Abin Sur, Sinestro and Kilowog (in a tale of his early training days), among others. The installments will all be linked by an unifying theme.
