I've been on a DCAU kick for a while (recently my local Wal-mart had a large stock of most of the seasons of the different shows), and while I was looking up a few things about the DCAU, I began wondering about some of the possible tangential shows. I know most people don't consider shows like Teen Titans to be part of the DCAU (I somewhat believe TT is or could be made to fit), but what about the more recent Green Lantern animated series? It has art styles similar to the old DCAU shows, albeit in a CGI form. It appears to have similar tones and structure as well. I haven't watched much of it, but the only thing I can see that possibly holds it back is that it centers around Hal Jordan. In Superman: The Animated Series, we see that Kyle Rayner is chosen to be a new Lantern after Abin Sur's death and John Stewart is apparently brought in to protect this sector while Kyle is being trained. While this leads one to believe that Hal couldn't be the Green Lantern and the show might not fit because of this, is there any way it could fit? I'm genuinely curious as to whether or not I should try to add the series to my personal Chronology of the DCAU (and buy the DVDs to add it to my Wall-of-Nerdness).
For Reference, here is the typical accepted Chronology of the DCAU
- Batman: The Animated Series Seasons 1 and 2
- Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm
- Batman: The Animated Series Season 3
- Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero
- Superman: The Animated Series
- The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest
- The New Batman Adventures
- Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
- Static Shock
- Justice League
- Justice League Unlimited
- Batman Beyond
- Zeta Project
- Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
I haven't watched much of the Green Lantern series (only about two episodes somewhere in the middle of the season), so I don't know if it contradicts the established continuity. If it doesn't, is there any place in the timeline that it would fit? Perhaps between JLU and Batman Beyond?
