John was the most fleshed out of the characters who did not have a solo series prior to JL.
Hence why I mentally default to that version of the character. Best oath recital and his fight against Despero is one of my favorites:

Sucker punching Despero so hard that it left a GL ring indention on his forehead is one of the highlights of the show for me.
Yeah, that was a pretty epic moment. DCAU John also defeated or helped to defeat the Finale villain three seasons in a row: Vandal Savage, Hro Talak, and Chronos. Batman helped with Chronos. Flash took out Brainiac/Lex. And Superman beat Darkseid. John was definitely a clutch player. Hopefully 2020 sees him develop a similar presence in the comics.

I agree. It's very impressive. I remembered there being an article about the worst to best portrayals of Green Lantern from a Screenrant article that featured the Green Lantern characters. John Stewart came out on top as being the best Green Lantern portrayal. I also remembered old poster Desh responded to that Screenrant article on twitter, calling out Geoff Johns saying John Stewart is till on top, despite Geoff Johns trying bury the character. Man, those were the days
