Green Lantern: Beware My Power
2022 animated film
Green Lantern: Beware My Power is a 2022 American superhero animated film based on DC Comics featuring the John Stewart incarnation of Green Lantern, produced by Warner Bros. Animation and distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. It is the overall 49th installment in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies, and the fifth film set in the DC Animated Movie Universe's second phase, which began with Superman: Man of Tomorrow. The film is directed by Jeff Wamester, from a script by John Semper and Ernie Altbacker, and stars Aldis Hodge and Jimmi Simpson. In the film, Marine veteran John Stewart is chosen to become a member of the Green Lantern Corps following the apparent death of Hal Jordan, leading Stewart to be caught in the middle of a Rannian-Thanagarian war, and aided by Justice League member Green Arrow, Rannian hero Adam Strange, and Thanagarian warrior Shayera Hol.
The film contains elements (such as Parallax taking over Hal Jordan) from several DC Comics storylines including the 1994 storyline "Emerald Twilight" written by Ron Marz, the 1995 storyline "Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!" written by Dan Jurgens, and the 2005 storyline "Rann–Thanagar War" written by Dave Gibbons.
Plot
Former Marine and Medal of Honor recipient John Stewart, struggling with civilian life after serving as a sniper in Afghanistan, witnesses Ganthet's spaceship crash nearby. Ganthet dies of his injuries, and the Power Ring he carries — previously owned by Hal Jordan — attaches itself to Stewart's finger. The ring flies Stewart up to the Justice League Watchtower, where he meets Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, and Vixen, who were monitoring a disturbance in space.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2022 animated film” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q113551549. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022, 1994, 1995 and 2005.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
