After a decade floundering both critically and at the box office, DC Studios has regained their footing under James Gunn. With the moderate success of last year’s Superman and the groundwork laid by a relatively well-received second season of Peacemaker, it seems as if the days of DC’s cinematic outings getting pummeled by the MCU are over, as well as their days of approaching the plate without a plan in hand. Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl is arriving in a mere three months, Gunn’s anticipated sequel Man of Tomorrow arrives in July of 2027, and there are quite a few more TV shows and even potentially video games waiting for fans in the interim and after.
One of those quickly approaching projects is Lanterns, a television adaptation of the Green Lantern Corps created by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, Tom King, and showrun by Mundy. The lore of the Green Lanterns in comics is expansive and wide–reaching, with multiple human Lanterns and storylines that stretch from Earth to the far reaches of DC’s cosmic sector. But outside of the fact that the show follow veteran Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) in his attempts to train newcomer John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), fans had no idea what to expect. Now DC has released the first teaser for the series, and while it doesn't reveal too much, it certainly tells us not to expect a vast galactic conspiracy quite yet.
