Put the kiddies to bed and brace yourselves! The first teaser for HBO's 'Lanterns' series from DC Studios has arrived, f-bombs and all, and we're still a bit confused. The trailer shows the gritty, grounded approach to the superhero-based material. On the one hand, it looks exactly like you'd expect an HBO detective show to look, but on the otherhand, why isn't there any green in my Green Lantern? Starring Kyle Chandler as the cocky Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as the fearless John Stewart — arguably two of the most recognizable Green Lanterns in DC Comics history — this "Lanterns" sneak peek is giving off more "Reacher" vibes than anything else. It's looking like a stock criminal investigation show set in the Midwest, and not a colorful escapade featuring members of the gallant Green Lantern Corps. To say that we're underwhelmed is an understatement, but we'll hold our final judgment until we've seen more. We've been wrong before, but for now, all we've seen is this drab, argumentative teaser of tedious conflict and car conversations.
