The DCU"s Green Lantern Is Already Repeating Superman"s Origin Trick

:0:1

Summary

HBO's Lanterns series will feature Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart in an Earth-based murder mystery, following a similar approach to James Gunn's Superman.
Lanterns will skip Hal Jordan's origin, allowing John Stewart to act as the audience stand-in, learning about the Green Lantern Corps and their ideologies.
Starting heroes' stories after their origin helps the DCU feel more lived-in and tangible, allowing for unique and exciting storylines.

The DCU's upcoming HBO series, Lanterns, is taking a similar approach to James Gunn's Superman in how it will approach introducing its titular heroes into the universe. Originally described in a similar vein to True Detective, HBO's Lanterns series will feature the iconic Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart as they get drawn into an Earth-based murder mystery. The upcoming DCU release already has a lot of notable names attached to the project, including showrunner Chris Mundy (Ozark), executive producer Damon Lindelof (Watchmen, The Leftovers), and DC Comics' vet Tom King coming in as a writer.
With Guy Gardner appearing in Superman, the franchise is already set to have three Earth-based Green Lanterns, including John Stewart and Hal Jordan. It's obvious that the DCU wants to feel like a lived-in universe with an already rich history that viewers will get to see unfold onscreen, and the approach being taken with this Lantern roster appears set to help set that tone. This is especially true given Lanterns appears to be following the same path as Superman when it comes to its heroes' origin stories and how they are communicated.
