"That's what [producer] Bruce Timm wanted the whole time," says Montgomery, "sci-fi Green Lantern, not necessarily superhero Green Lantern. It's not like he's got this moral mission. He's this guy who happened to come across this ring and he's basically a space cop. That's how Bruce summed it up, 'Green Lantern: Space Cop.' I think when he's in space and he's working directly for the Green Lantern Corps, he has to go by their rules. He's not necessarily allowed to make up his own rules -- even though he's Hal Jordan and he kind of does that anyway. If he feels it's right and the Guardians are telling him it's wrong, he's probably going to do what he thinks is right. I think maybe when he's on earth, more of the superhero aspect comes out, because he's elevated above men.
"The scope of the movie was challenging," she adds. "We're trying to make it feel like it's a vast universe and we wanted to make the Green Lantern Corps feel like it's got a huge number of Green Lanterns to cover that vast universe, but when it's animation, you have to draw each and every one of them. We tried to make it feel big, but we only have so many people available to draw all these characters. Getting that feel is difficult, but I think we were able to pull it off pretty well."
Look for the final part of this interview on Wednesday.
