MY ADVENTURES OF GREEN LANTERN Reportedly to Spotlight a Young Jessica Cruz
Fans of My Adventures With Superman might not have to wait long before diving into another corner of the DC Universe. With showrunner confirmation that post-production on Season 3 is wrapped, the animated series is set to return with its heartfelt and action-packed take on the Man of Steel.
But the real surprise is the spinoff, My Adventures With Green Lantern, which could bring the Emerald Knights back to animation in a big way.
According to a report from Next Point News, the series will focus on Jessica Cruz, an Earth-based member of the Green Lantern Corps. But, unlike her comic book incarnation, an adult hero who joined the ranks well after Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner, Jessica will reportedly be reimagined as a 14–15-year-old high school student.
She won’t be flying solo, either. The same report suggests that Kyle Rayner will appear as a “love interest” for Jessica, though it’s unclear whether this version of Kyle will wield a ring of his own.
The cast of characters doesn’t stop there. Nikki Jones, a deep-cut DC character who gained superpowers from Lex Luthor, will reportedly have a supporting role. The series will also feature Alex DeWitt, Kyle Rayner’s tragic girlfriend from the comics who was killed by Major Force early in his career.
While her inclusion raises questions about how the show will handle that storyline, it opens the door for emotional beats beyond the usual Corps action.
One character who feels like a natural fit is Kilowog, the gruff drill sergeant of the Green Lantern Corps. He’s rumored to be Jessica’s teacher in the series—mirroring his long-standing role in the comics.
No release date has been announced for My Adventures With Green Lantern, but with the DC Universe’s momentum this summer, largely thanks to My Adventures With Superman, fans are already eager to see the Corps shine on screen.
If you watched the series, you might recall that the groundwork for this spinoff was subtly laid in My Adventures With Superman Season 2. During Clark’s intense battle with Brainiac, the villain unleashed a wave of captured alien combatants, one of which was a Green Lantern.
While that character wasn’t identified as anyone from the comics, it confirmed that the Adult Swim series operates in a vast DC Universe where the Corps is already active.
If these reports hold true, My Adventures With Green Lantern could give fans a fresh, character-driven look at the Corps while expanding the animated DCU in exciting ways.
