Films - Animated

  • The Simpsons Movie: When Marge tries to figure out what EPA means (which is what Abe said while having a vision at church), she gets help from Comic Book Guy. The latter says he thinks that 'EPA' is the sound Green Lantern made when Sinestro threw him into a vat of acid.

Films — Live-Action

  • Deadpool: When he's being experimented on, Wade (played by Ryan Reynolds) asks for his suit not to be green or animated, as a Take That! against the poorly-received Green Lantern movie (which had Reynolds as Hal Jordan). Also, the opening credits feature a Green Lantern trading card in a wallet.
    • In Deadpool 2, the end credits show Deadpool using a time-travel device to fix various past events. At one point, he kills Ryan Reynolds while the latter is reading the script for Green Lantern.

Literature

  • The Dresden Files: In the Ghost Story flashback young Harry reasons gathering power ought to work like it does for the Silver Surfer, Green Lantern, or Iron Fist.

  • Miles from The Evolution of Emily reads Green Lantern comics while eating lunch.

Live-Action TV

Video Games

Webcomics

Western Animation

  • Adventure Time: The origin of the Gumball Guard in "Rattleballs" is a shout out to the Manhunters from the Green Lantern mythos. They even have the same color scheme as the Manhunters.
  • Duck Dodgers: The episode "The Green Loontern" is about Duck Dodgers becoming a member of the Green Lantern Corps after accidentally getting Hal Jordan's outfit and power ring at the dry cleaner.
  • MAD: The sketch "RiOa" has Blu becoming a Green Lantern and recruiting other flightless birds to help him save his girlfriend.
  • My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The episode "Power Ponies," features a spoof of The Avengers and the Justice League, with Rarity (as Radiance) having a gem that creates shiny things like Green Lantern.
  • Rugrats: The Blasto Oath is pretty much ripped straight from the Green Lantern oath.
  • The Simpsons:
  • South Park: In "A History Channel Thanksgiving", Myles Standish shows to Kyle a map of various planets. One of them is labeled 'Green Lantern World', which Myles says is a planet "nobody really cares about", as a Take That! to the panned Green Lantern movie.
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003): The Back to the Sewers episode titled "Super Power Struggle" is about Michelangelo and Raphael getting their hands on a cape that grants whoever wears it superpowers, which belongs to a superhero named Green Mantle. The latter is an obvious homage to Green Lantern, not only having a nearly-identical appearance, but also having Al Gordon (which is similar to Hal Jordan) as his real name.
