Those principles he learned covering the 2020 election, Palestine, and so much more are brought here to Collider, where he has gleefully written on everything from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes to Nathan Lane baby-birding sewer boys.

The newest Green Lantern has arrived! After previously confirming in April that Season 3 of the DC animated hit My Adventures With Superman would introduce Jessica Cruz, the latest member of the Green Lantern Corps, before sending her off on her own spin-off adventure, Entertainment Weekly has now confirmed who will be playing her. Auli'i Cravalho, best known as the voice behind Disney's Moana, will don the ring in Episode 2 of the Clark Kent-centric show and lead the forthcoming My Adventures With Green Lantern when it premieres. Additionally, EW shared the first look at the young recipient and some new details about what her series will entail.

My Adventures With Superman will reimagine Cruz a bit from her DC Comics counterpart. While the character was already notable for being the first human woman to join the Green Lantern Corps, in the world of the Adult Swim series, she stands out for being a shy high school teenager who literally has the Power Ring fall into her lap. She's chosen to be its champion, but much like My Adventures With Superman begins following Clark as he starts out as Superman and grapples with what his role as Metropolis' hero means, My Adventures With Green Lantern will focus on what the weight of the Ring's abilities means for a girl experiencing otherwise typical teenage anxieties and responsibilities.
