Hal Jordan's Shocking Fate Revealed in Lanterns Premiere
17 Aug
Summary
- Hal Jordan's fate is revealed in a shocking twist during the Lanterns premiere.
- John Stewart survives a car crash and is trained by a digital Hal Jordan.
- William Macon, a powerful figure, may be a future foe with a hidden secret.
The first episode of HBO/DC's Lanterns has aired, revealing a dramatic fate for Hal Jordan. In a significant time jump, Jordan reappears as a digital backup to John Stewart after Stewart survives a car crash. This outcome sets a unique tone for the season, with Jordan guiding Stewart through immediate alien threats and local complications.
Stewart demonstrates potential as a Green Lantern, proving himself to local sheriff Kerry after an alien disguised as a local explodes. He also encounters William Macon, a powerful rancher and father-in-law to Kerry, whose loyalties are uncertain. Macon's involvement, possibly as a future adversary with a secret, adds another layer of intrigue.
The showrunners, Chris Mundy, Tom King, and Damon Lindelof, discuss their approach to adapting the Green Lantern for television. They aimed to ground the often complex cosmic narrative, drawing comparisons to True Detective. This strategy seeks to avoid past pitfalls, such as the financially unsuccessful 2011 Green Lantern film.
