They Were Sure to Add Some Green to the New Lanterns Trailer
Allow me to say, right off the bat, that I didn’t need green in the previous Lanterns trailer. I don’t need to have a trailer or a TV show or whatever hold my hand and reassure me that the new show is going to be accurate and solidly adapted. I have faith. I have willingness to watch. I’m cool. I’m down.
And honestly, this new trailer trades substance for green.
Still looks like a mighty fine show. Still not sure what it’s actually going to be about, other than Hal Jordan and John Stewart solving a mystery in a ranch town…but that’s fine. I have faith. I have trust. I’m sure they’re going to make a fine show, and it’s going to have some neat ties into the larger DCU and it’s going to really set up the Green Lanterns as something cool and interesting.
I have faith. Lanterns comes to HBO Max on Aug. 16.

We Have Our TV Green Lanterns!
Rumors have been swirling for weeks now, and yesterday we got final confirmation that Kyle Chandler will play Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre will play John Stewart in the upcoming HBO show Lanterns. Solid casting!
I have very high hopes for this TV show. The Penguin has been awesome so far, largely because it’s a gritty crime drama that just happens to be about the Penguin. So I’m hoping we get a gritty cop drama that just happens to be about the Green Lantern Corps. Granted, it’ll hopefully be more colorful and cosmic than a gritty crime drama, but I have faith that they will make it work. And this is a good cast to make it happen!
And don’t forget Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner in the Superman movie!
We’ve got a good Corps on our hands. Here’s hoping we get even more characters, and even more of the rainbow corps!
