Lanterns showrunner says the new DC series is is "as much of a buddy cop show as a superhero show"

Lanterns may be the next small-screen installment in the DCU, but it's not just a superhero show, says its showrunner.

It's "as much of a buddy cop show as a superhero show," Chris Mundy told Men's Health, which makes sense as it follows Green Lantern Corps double act Hal Jordan and John Stewart, played by Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre. Hal is a veteran peacekeeper, who's training up new recruit John as the pair investigates a murder in Nebraska.
