    Hal Jordan

    Character » Hal Jordan appears in 5295 issues.

    With the ability to overcome great fear and harness the power of will, test-pilot Hal Jordan was chosen to be the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 inheriting the ring of the dying alien Green Lantern, Abin Sur. He later on went to creating his own power ring from his own will power. Through sheer will power and determination, Hal has established an impressive record of heroism across the galaxy with the help of his fellow Green Lanterns as well as his peers in the Justice League.

    So...Why wasen't Hal part of the DCAU?

    Does he even exist on the DCAU? Does Guy exist there too?

    Well yes and no. Hal does exist in the DCAU but only for one scene. This will help:  
      As for Guy he did appear in an issue of the JLU comic but I'm not sure if those are canon.

    They chose John Stewart for a multi racial League, If you notice, Hawkgirl and all the Thanagarians are supposed to have a Latino sort of accent.

    Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner were both part of the Corps. they were just working different sectors

    Because Black Lightning wasn't a recognizable member of the League, neither was Hawkgirl I know, I actually came to love John Stewart. Phil Lamar did an epic job of voicing him

    Predominantly GL made blasts and fields, In one of the commentarys Bruce Timm stated he wanted to keep it more practical (why would he make a gun construct when he could just fire a beam) Stewart rarely made other things though. Personally I enjoyed the lack of constructs, I always thought it made GL kind of corny, Like giant fly swatters and whatnot.

    I really didn't mind if John was the main GL, but Hal should have appeared there at least in background...well at least Hal is in Young Justice. Kyle never got any justice in DCAU.

    John Stewart was supposed to be Hal Jordan. Hal Jordan wasn't part of the DCAU, his appearance in JLU was in an episode where reality was being warped if memory serves. Kyle Rayner was part of the DCAU, though.

    screw that, hal or kyle should have been the main gl. at least kyle got that one episode of superman devoted to him.

    he pretty much got the same treatment as the creeper though slightly better

    It's quite possible that it was just Hawkgirl who had it, due to being voiced by Maria Canals-Barerra

    All the Hawk people in "starcrossed" were voiced by Hispanic actors/actresses. Bruce Timm confirms their intentions of Hawkpeople having Latino feel of some sort on the commentary of Satrcrossed part 2

    He was, he just became a GL off screen.  Kyle was the only GL we actually saw become a Lantern on screen, John and Hal were already Lanterns and in space.

    Hal does not exist in DCAU. He only existed in one episode when Chronos or whoever was rewriting reality. John and Kyle are the only human lanterns in DCAU.

    I ended up liking John. The default commander when WF were off somewhere. And his love triangle thing was fun (though I would totally sacrifice it to see some quality Bruce-Diana action...;) Still hoping!)

    I feel like a saw Guy in the background in the watchtower at some point, or during an attack on oa (I feel like I noticed Kyle there too) ... I could be wrong though. It's been a while since I've seen it, and I wasn't really looking for Guy

    Heard about the Latino thing a while ago. Go back and listen to Hro Talak in Starcrossed, especially the scene where he explains things and fight GL. His voice sounds kind of thick and accented, especially when him and GL start talking (GL tends to be very blunt and clear when he speaks). The others birds I didn't notice as much.

    lol Hal couldnt be the main GL because the original JL series started in 2001 when he was still dead, so i think John was the best choice seeing as Kyle's backstory involves the entire GL core being dead and Hal being evil

    Hal is the best Green Lantern, thats why DC opts to use him in most of their major GL projects, you people that are dissing him are racist big time.

    John was(and still is) the most unknown human GL, giving the writers some freedoms with him. John adding diversity to the team was just icing on the cake.

    @screwtna: wow, dude. You are seriously overeacting.

    I never never said thay he didnt. I know that Hal Jordan exists in the dcu because of his Appearence in JLU and his Jet being seen in Superman tas.

    IM simply saying that the books aren't the right way to prove it because the dirt two aren't set in the actual dcau, they just utilize the art style. The third one is set in the continuity of Green Lantern:tas.freaking out like this isn't doing anything but making you look like a random Internet looney.
