Episode Summary & Review
Summary
A member of the Green Lantern Corps crash lands on Earth and passes his ring on to Kyle Rayner, a Daily Planet artist who becomes the next Green Lantern. With Superman’s help, Kyle learns the power of the ring and quickly becomes a valuable partner. They work together to battle the power hungry, ruthless opponent Sinestro.
Our Take
A fun backdoor pilot that mostly works as a superhero origin story. Kyle’s learning curve gives the episode some nice humor, and Sinestro makes for a genuinely menacing villain with a voice performance that sells the menace. It moves a bit fast and Superman takes a backseat in his own show, but the action is solid and the guest hero earns his spotlight.
