So far, our worries about "Lanterns" getting the axe in the midst of all of that Warner Bros. merger mess seem to have been graciously unfounded. Things are moving swiftly ahead for HBO's new superhero series, a live-action DC Comics adaptation centered on Hal Jordan and John Stewart of Green Lantern fame. Portrayed by Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, respectively, the upcoming action-packed series sees the elder Hal tasked with training the new recruit as they investigate a murder in small-town Nebraska — that is, if they don't kill each other first.
The tension between the old guard and the new blood is very much on display in the new "Lanterns" trailer, which just dropped on March 4. "You're just a f***ing substitute teacher," Chandler's Hal gripe to his trainee. "You're not ready to get up in front of the class until the ring says you are."
