Yesterday, we got our first trailer for the new Lanterns TV show, about Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart. I’m very excited for this show, because I’m a big fan of everything James Gunn is producing for the DCU. But the trailer looks very odd for a Green Lantern TV show, see if you can spot why.

So yeah, not much Green Lanterning in this supposed Green Lantern TV show. And you know what? I’m fine with that. Doesn’t bother me at all. As much as I enjoy the space cops and the rainbow Lantern corps, I don’t need that in every adaptation. We had that with the Green Lantern movie and it was weird. So if the showrunners and producers want to go in a different direction with this TV show, I’m perfectly fine with that. I am more than willing to let them cook.

The actors come off very well, I really like that snippet of Hal Jordan flying, and I’m confident this will be a good show.

Lanterns is coming to…whatever remains of HBO in August.
