DC Studios has a lot of irons in the fire, but the most intriguing might be Lanterns. The first live-action exploration of the Green Lantern Corps since the 2011 film that won’t be named, Lanterns is set to deliver a faithful look at fan favorites like Hal Jordan and John Stewart. The duo will team up as reluctant partners in the upcoming series; according to creator and showrunner Chris Mundy, Lanterns is “as much of a buddy cop show as a superhero show.”
In a recent interview with Men’s Health, Mundy gave fans the best tease of Lanterns’ plot yet. Story details were scarce until recently, but fans assumed (or, rather, hoped) that Lanterns would hew close to Hal and John’s comic book dynamic. Mundy seems to confirm as much, teasing a push-and-pull between disparate generations. “Our show is in a lot of ways about replacement,” Mundy explained. “When should someone step aside and when is it time for the next person to take the reins?”
