Almost 15 months after it was first announce , DCUsupremo James Gunn has kicked off fresh DC fan excitation for the upcoming Green Lantern project with align postal service across his social accounts . So far , minuscule has been revealed about Max seriesLanterns , beyond what Gunn reveal in January 2023 , but his latest tease - which comes asSupermanis already actively in production - could point to more at hand news .
The first DCU flick will , of grade , let in a Green Lantern , with Nathan Fillion ’s Guy Gardner joiningSuperman ’s ensemble cast . That fits with Gunn ’s program to make the DCU feel already lived - in when it come , with established and active superheroes . The initial annunciation of Lanterns put it as a whodunit show , starring arguably the two most popular iterations of Green Lantern :
“ We call it Lanterns and it is starring two of our favorite Green Lanterns — Hal Jordan and John Stewart . t ’s going to be with HBO Max , as all of our series are that we ’re going to talk about today . It is more of a True Detective – type mystery with our two Lanterns . A terrestrial - establish enigma – “
Gunn has just shared an image of a Green Lantern ’s first level skywards , cover in stemma and kindle an vitality fire out of the power ring . Neither his berth on Threads or Instagram came with a caption , but by nature spark a good deal of speculation and hype . Could it be that Gunn is about to annunciate Lanterns as the nextupcoming DCU projectto accede active output ? Let ’s desire so .
With James Gunn announcing that he is do work on a TV serial following Hal Jordan and John Stewart , here ’s everything you need to know about lantern .
What James Gunn’s New Green Lantern Tease Could Actually Mean
While there is no confirmation of which Green Lantern is boast in Gunn ’s posts - or indeed which he ’s referring to - both theDCU ’s first Lantern Guy Gardnerand Hal Jordan most ordinarily get into white-hot baseball mitt . John Stewart , on the other hand , goes gloveless . In theory , the post could be further hype for Gardner ’s office in Superman - which may explain why Eve Teschmacher player Sara Sampaio reply to the post on Instagram with a moneyed " spoiler " response .
That said , the bloody icon of a Lantern ’s boxing glove does n’t necessarily agree with the expected sizing of Gardner ’s function inSupermanat this stage . It does , however , primed with the image of Gardner as a rougher stock of Green Lantern than some of his more famous colleagues . He ’s recognise to be something of a bruiser , and get his glove flaming is far from out of the ordinary .
Hal Jordan would credibly be a stronger guess here , though , with the brief sum-up of what we can anticipate fromLanternsin take care . Gunn has already said that the show ’s cardinal mystery will feed into the rest of Chapter One : Supreme Being & Monsters of the DCU slate , and position theLanternsas the front line of defense against whatever over - arching threat is coming does make sense give their position as general shielder .
If you ’re looking for any potential story hints , the Green Lantern artwork Gunn apportion was create by Dave Johnson ( DevilPig on DeviantArt ) for War of the Green Lanterns : Aftermath . The War Of The Green Lanterns plot line feature Hal Jordan , Guy Gardner , John Stewart , Kyle Rayner , and Kilowog , as they combat their mind - controlled fellow Green Lanterns , as rogue Guardian of the Universe Krona attempts to take over the universe . That would be a huge account - line to immediately set in motion the Green Lanterns into .
Artist Dave Johnson also bring out on the original military post that it was also used prominently by DC at Comic Con in 2011 :
" I forgot to post this . Once again , like the other GL cover I did , my marching orders were as abide by : " Just draw a Green Lantern clenched fist w/ blood on it . " Well , once again , far be it from me to turn down an easy fizgig .
In this series set within the DC Universe, Lanterns follows intergalactic law enforcement officers as they wield power rings to maintain order across different planets. The show explores their personal and professional challenges while addressing broader themes of justice and responsibility in the cosmos.
And I guess I nail it because DC turned this look-alike ( sans blood ) into a freaking Brobdingnagian banner at Comic - Con this year . Seriously , it was over 20 feet magniloquent . Pen and ink on paper . All the sleep is Photoshop trickery . "
