Green Lantern: The Animated Series “Steam Lantern” Episode Preview

USA Today gets a short clip from this Saturday’s episode of GLTAS. They also get a few words from Producer Giancarlo Volpe, who continues to be a one man promotion team for the series.

The new episode of Green Lantern: The Animated Series (airing Saturday morning at 10 ET/PT on Cartoon Network) debuts the Steam Lantern, an alternate-world hero (voiced by Robin Atkin Downes) with a jet pack and green-tinged force blasts but who — unlike Hal Jordan and other Green Lanterns — didn’t receive a power ring from the Guardians of Oa.

“He’s like the ultimate fanboy in that he met a Green Lantern once and he has tried to replicate their powers using steampunk technology,” says Green Lantern producer Giancarlo Volpe. “His character arc deals a lot with what it truly means to be a hero. Is it a birth-given right or is it something that you could see someone else and consider them a hero and decide you are, too? That’s the point of his character.”
