Green Lantern Into the Abyss Review


It is now time to review Green Lantern the Animated Series Episode 4 Into the Abyss. A ship is about to be pulled right into a dangerous black hole and its cargo is in need of saving. Can our heroes do so in time? Green Lantern the Animated Series Episode 4 Into the Abyss first aired on the DC Nation Animated Block on Cartoon Network on March 24th 2012.

Green Lantern the Animated Series Episode 4 Into the Abyss Review

Razer and Kilowog are still at odds during this episode during the early part, sparked by Kilowog’s interesting eating habits. Hal Jordan has to play the referee between these two hot headed individuals. He manages to keep the peace well enough…about as well as can be suspected, but then there is a distress call. A ship with a cargo of eggs is in danger of being drawn into a black hole.

Hal Jordan being the hero he is, is all for saving the eggs, even if this does seem foolish, it is the right thing to do. After saving the Captain of the ship, Hal Jordan, Kilowog, and Razer try to get the engines back running, but there is a problem. Aya seems to have gone offline, leaving our team on their own. Not to mention the bugs have appeared to have hatched, and they appear to be eating the power lines. Of course, things are rarely what they seem.

Kilowog does a bold but daring move to keep the ship being sucked in, as Razer and Hal Jordan try and fight their way to the engine room, but it appears that the bugs are really Aya, in robotic shells. The ship engine gets started, but they may be past the point of no return. Until Hal Jordan gets the bright idea of flying the ship towards the black hole to get enough momentum to propel themselves out.

Yeah, I’m not sure how scientifically feasible that is either, but this is a cartoon with an universal groups with power rings that are charged by a green lantern so I’m going to let it slide. That does manage to work and the cargo was saved, some cute little alien bug critters.

I did enjoy Kilowog trying to tell Aya about why she shouldn’t be a green Lantern, with Hal Jordan and Razer wisely staying out of that particular argument. The only decent argument is that she doesn’t have a physical body to interact with people, so she creates one. Well that was simple enough.

I enjoyed this episode this week, 8/10 for the latest Green Lantern Episode. You can watch Green Lantern the Animated Series Episode 4 Into the Abyss if you have Cartoon Network On Demand and don’t forget to watch new Green Lantern the Animated Series episodes every week as part of the DC Nation.
