Lanterns Finale: Who Killed Hal Jordan?

As Lanterns approaches its Season 1 finale on Sunday, August 4, the central mystery of who killed Hal Jordan remains unsolved. Several theories are circulating, with some viewers clinging to the possibility that Hal's death may not be as straightforward as it appears. The narrative has explored various suspects, including Kerry, whose character is defined by secrets, and Noah, who may have ties to Zoe's Manhunter.

However, a prominent theory points to Bernadette as a key figure in Hal's demise. Her strong desire for John to become Green Lantern, coupled with potential desperation stemming from John Sr.'s situation or other concerns by the 2026 timeline, positions her as a leading suspect. The show's creators may be building towards a significant moment for Jasmine Cephas Jones's character, Bernadette.

Another suspect being considered is John's older brother, Aaron. His presence in the 2026 timeline is expected in the finale, portrayed by Romeo Brown. It's speculated that Aaron might have killed Hal, perhaps unaware that Hal's ring had already been decommissioned. This raises the possibility that multiple members of John's family could be involved in sabotaging him or conspiring with other characters.
