The DC Universe is Picking Up Where the Cartoon Left Off
Aya was a main character featured onGreen Lantern: The Animated Series. She’s the Interceptor’s AI system who assisted the Green Lanterns on their missions. During the show, she had a bond with the Red Lantern Razer. The show ended with Aya sacrificing herself to stop the Anti-Monitor and Razer beginning a quest to find any remaining part of her.
Interestingly,Green Lanternwriter Jeremy Adams wrote for the animated series and introduced Razer as well.

A Fan-Favorite Couple Can Finally Be Together
Razer and Aya’s relationship was a huge part of the cartoon, and it was something fans really loved seeing develop. But the show’s cancellation andthe couple’s non-canon status meant fans had no way of seeing these two ever find happiness together. But now that they’re both DC canon, it’s just a matter of time before they find one another.
It’s taken a decade, but for the first time since the show ended, there’s real hope for Aya and Razer. They’ve both clearly been through a lot, but they’re on the precipice of reuniting and seeing the two back together is going to be worth it for every DC fan who has been waiting all this time.
