"Lanterns takes the Green Lantern Corps, a.k.a. DC's space cops, and grounds them literally and figuratively in the American Southwest. Chandler plays Hal Jordan, a former hotshot jet pilot and current cowboy cop Green Lantern. He's partnered up with John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), a younger and more by-the-book Lantern."
"James Gunn's tenure at the helm has mostly been marked with an embrace of the weirder aspects of comics lore beyond the usual DCU. This show looks to be more on the dour, Logan side of the comic-book adaptation spectrum. Or will Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner come through to add a dose of wacky?"
Lanterns brings Kyle Chandler back to a football field-like setting as Hal Jordan, a former jet pilot turned cowboy cop Green Lantern. He partners with John Stewart, a younger, more by-the-book Lantern played by Aaron Pierre. The series grounds DC's Green Lantern Corps in the American Southwest with a tone reminiscent of Yellowstone and Logan rather than typical comic-book adaptations. The show's villain and specific plot remain unclear, though traditionally Sinestro serves as Green Lantern's primary antagonist. James Gunn's DC Studios leadership has emphasized embracing weirder comic lore elements, though this series appears to lean toward a darker, more grounded aesthetic. Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner may provide comedic relief. The series premieres in August.
