Hal Jordan is a character in JLA/Avengers, which featured a crossover between DC and Marvel Comics. Despite the fact that both teams travel to both of their respective universes, this is one of the few comics featuring multiple universes that remains in (DC) continuity.

An alternate version of Hal Jordan also appeared in the Pocket Universe Earth created by the Time Trapper. He, along with various other heroes who had no superpowers in this reality, teamed up with a good version of Lex Luther to stop three evil Kryptonians who had escaped from the Phantom Zone. Hal Jordan piloted an advanced jet craft that was easily destroyed by the Kryptonians.

Other media

•   Hal Jordan made his first cartoon appearance in 1967 in an eponymously-titled segment of The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure cartoon by Filmation. In it, he fought evil with the aid of a blue-skinned, pointed-eared sidekick Kairo, Hal's Venusian Helper. It is revealed that Hal is a member of the JLA. In these cartoons, Hal Jordan was voiced by Gerald Mohr.
•   Green Lantern was featured as a 'guest hero' in The All-New Super Friends Hour. Unfortunately, his powers were consistently misrepresented, including the introduction of a "Lantern Jet" (it could be "materialized by his power ring"), which he used to fly-ignoring the fact that the power ring granted him that ability. Also, whenever Green Lantern would use his ring to create something, such as a life raft or a double-bladed transport helicopter, the final product would often be shown with its appropriate colors, instead of the same green shade as the power beam.
•   Hal Jordan and his archnemesis Sinestro were also regulars in Challenge of the SuperFriends which aired 1978–1979. One notable episode featured a re-telling of Hal's origin in which the dying Abin Sur passes on his ring. The character would continue to be brought back for the subsequent Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show and The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians shows. Michael Rye voiced the character for all three shows.
•   Around the same time, a two part mini-series of live-action films featuring The Justice League and their villains The Legion of Doom was produced under the title Legends of the Superheroes. It featured Howard Murphy as Hal Jordan.

•   In the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Once and Future Thing Part II: Time Warped" Hal Jordan appears when time becomes fluid and John Stewart is changed into Hal, or rather is replaced by Hal. He introduces himself as "Hal Jordan. Another timeshift, I'm up to speed, carry on." Later as the assembled heroes close in on the time-warping villain responsible, Hal reverts back to John. Hal was voiced by Adam Baldwin in this episode. Jordan is not seen again after this.
•   In the fourth season finale of The Batman, "The Joining", the Justice League was introduced. Hal Jordan was included among its members, in a non-speaking cameo. He and the other members of the League play a role in the show's fifth season. He appears in the episode "Ring Toss" voiced by

•   Hal Jordan also appeared in a 2003 episode of the Duck Dodgers animated series entitled The Green Loontern, in which Duck Dodgers is mistakenly given a Green Lantern uniform by his dry cleaners. Donning it, he meets the Corps and fights Sinestro before meeting Hal (voiced by Kevin Smith), who is wearing Dodgers' too-small uniform.
•   Hal Jordan is one of the main characters featured in Justice League: The New Frontier. He is voiced by David Boreanaz, while Carol Ferris is voiced by Brooke Shields.
•   Hal Jordan is a playable character in the video game, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. His Game Ending has him and the other Green Lanterns becoming aware of a giant pyramid (from MK: Armageddon) emerging. Realizing Sinestro could try and take the pyramid's secret, he and the Green Lantern Corps try to stop him.
•   Hal Jordan appears in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode The Eyes of Despero, voiced by Loren Lester. He is first seen leading many other Green Lanterns into battle against Despero, only to have them be turned against him by Despero's mind control. Releasing a discharge of power from his ring, he seemingly perished in the blast alongside his fellow Lanterns, with his ring going across the universe in search of another wielder. It makes its way to Batman, sending him to space. Hal, the missing in action Lanterns, and the Guardians of the Universe were revealed to be alive and in the ring near the end.
•   A nod to Hal Jordan was made in Ninja Turtles (2003) 7th season episode "The Super Power Struggle". The character in reference was Al Gordon, The Green Mantle. An emerald cape gives him super powers, however it is not triggered by will power. The character lost the cape after a fight with his arch nemsis, Mechazar. A kid found it and kept it as a collectible for more than 25 years. The character in modern day looks like Hal Jordan from 1990 to 2004 with the gray steaks of hair. He reclaims the cape and repairs it to resume the identity of The Green Mantle.
•   Christopher Meloni voices Hal Jordan on Warner Premiere animated feature Green Lantern: First Flight.
•   The pop/rock band The Roy Clark Method released "Sector 2814," a song about Hal Jordan's fall after the Reign of the Supermen series, on their 2002 album Mild-Mannered Supermen. A second version of the song appeared on their self-titled second album in 2005.[25][26]

'Green Lantern: First Flight' fast-paced fun
Saturday, August 01, 2009

It's a good time to be a Green Lantern fan.

Not only has the long-awaited "Blackest Night" storyline begun in the comics, but this week Warner Bros. has released the animated DVD movie "Green Lantern: First Flight."

The movie stars Christopher Meloni from "Law and Order: SUV" as Hal Jordon and Victor Garber as the villain Sinestro.

The film also stars "Battlestar Galactica's" Tricia Helfer as Boodikka and Michael Madsen as the Green Lantern's drill instructor Kilowog.

The plot is a straight-up story about Jordan's origin; how he was chosen as a Green Lantern and his early days in the corps, including his partnership with Sinestro.

The writers on the movie stick with the cops in space version of the Green Lantern Corps and have Jordan and Sinestro go on the pursuit of the murderer of Abin Sur.

Jordan takes the role of the ****y and reckless rookie cop who nobody on the force trusts.

Sinestro takes the role of the seasoned veteran who has the respect and admiration of his fellow officers but is really a crooked cop.

It's up to Jordan to stand up and expose his mentor as the criminal he really is.

Meloni's take on Hal Jordan is spot-on with his ****y self-assuredness mixed with the heroic determination the character should have.

Garber's voice gives Sinestro the arrogance and self-righteousness that's needed to perfectly portray the villain.

A perfect casting choice is Madsen's Kilowog.

Madsen's take is much different than I had imagined. The actor brought a quieter and calmer voice to the powerful and massive alien drill sergeant, and it worked perfectly.

"Green Lantern: First Flight" is a really enjoyable, fast-paced cosmic cop movie.

Also announced recently was the casting of Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan in the live action version of Green Lantern that is scheduled to be released in summer 2011.
