Less Than a Year On, Lanterns Just Created a Major Superman Plot Hole

The first trailer for the upcoming movie Lanterns gives fans the best look yet at how Hal and John’s relationship develops. What’s surprising is the trailer’s realistic tone – it seems to be focusing on a down-to-earth mystery rather than big, cosmic action. While there’s a quick, fun reference to the Green Lantern Ch’p, the trailer mostly avoids typical superhero moments, instead highlighting the tension between Hal and John. However, one line of dialogue has worried fans about whether the movie fits with the story of last year’s Superman. Hal tells John he doesn’t talk to other Green Lanterns because they’re “all aliens.” This creates a potential plot problem, since Guy Gardner (played by Nathan Fillion) was a well-known hero appearing publicly in Metropolis in the 2025 film.
