Is HBO’s Lanterns Setting Up the DCU’s Blackest Night?
The upcoming TV series on HBO named Lanterns is set to explore the Green Lantern universe in a manner reminiscent of True Detective. The main characters, Hal Jordan (played by Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart, will be investigating an earthbound mystery that ties into the broader narrative across various DC films and shows, as hinted by James Gunn, head of DC Studios. In simpler terms, Gunn suggested that these two Green Lanterns will uncover a deep-rooted terror on Earth, acting like supercops in their world.
