Green Lantern: Beware My Power is a movie set in the same new universe started by Superman: Man of Tomorrow, and was continued in other films like Batman: The Long Halloween.

In this movie, John Stewart (voiced by Aldis Hodge, who will also play Hawkman in the upcoming Black Adam movie releasing in October) is a former marine with PTSD. However, seeing a spaceship crash on his way, he sees a guardian of Oa, and a ring scans him and makes him the newest member of the Green Lantern Corps. The ring, which demand John call it Ring, takes him to the Justice League Watchtower, who learns the ring was formerly Hal Jordan's, causing suspicion in members Martian Manhunter, Vixen, and Green Arrow. Now, John and Green Arrow are tasked with going to Oa, as Martian Manhunter believes John receiving Hal's ring has something to do with an emergency they are watching, they are joined by Hawkgirl, a Thanagarian warrior who seeks vengeance against those who killed millions of her species, causing the three to team up to find who is responsible behind the murder of both the Green Lanterns and Hawkgirl's people, facing villains like SInestro and John learning of his new powers.

Okay, after seeing this movie on Blu-Ray, it's not the worst, but it's not good either. While it is a good change to have a Green Lantern movie with John Stewart (past movies with the hero were about Hal Jordan), the plot is not at all good, as it tries to fit in too much backstory plot into it (John's PTSD kicking in, Hawkgirl's backstory, etc). I do like how John is portrayed as a former Marine with PTSD after seeing his squad gunned down in a conflict, and even going as far as to use characters like Adam Strange and the Sinestro Corps, but sadly, they are bogged down by horrible writing (although the voice acting is okay), and the finale is the absolute worst, with a twist about a certain hero I won't spoil. Beware My Power? I say Beware This Movie and stick to Green Lantern: First Flight and the old Justice League cartoon with John Stewart.
