#4 Superman: The Animated Series: In Brightest Day
Although I must acknowledge that this episode really butchered the origin of Green Lantern Hal Jordan - or rather Kyle Rayner - that Hal Jordan was essentially eradicated from this universes existence. Having said that, the story honored both Hal and Kyle, giving the latter his first onscreen and only (to date) spotlighted appearance. This episode also introduced the Green Lantern to the DC Animated Universe paving the way for John Stewart to become a main hero in Justice League.
All of the essential elements of the Lantern mythology were here, including Oa, the Guardians, the Oath, Abin Sur, and Sinestro. The episode also introduced the Green Lantern musical theme which would continue to accompany many of John Stewart pivotal scenes in Justice League. Even though this was a Superman episode, Supes did not overshadow or take away from Kyle's heroism. In the end this was not only one of the better Superman episodes, but one of the greatest onscreen moments for the Green Lanterns.
