>LANTERNS stars Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, a new recruit to the Green Lantern Corps who teams up with veteran Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) to investigate a murder in the American Heartland.

>"Aaron, he's got a voice like butter. And he's statuesque, like he's carved out of marble," Fillion describes. "He's very, very specific about his character and what his character's going through. His character is clearly going through something. And then along comes this gregarious, smug son of a bitch Guy Gardner. And in that show... boy, Guy Gardner. I've dropped more F-bombs in that project than I have in my entire career put together."

>He says Guy comes across quite smug in his first scene with Pierre's John, "but by the end of it, you can tell there is a shift," Fillion adds. "Guy Gardner is no longer comfortable. He is no longer feeling smug. Then you can see where John's strength really lies. That is a strong individual. I don't really have any scenes directly with Hal Jordan, but meeting Kyle, he's everything you'd hope he would be. Very fun, very nice man, very lighthearted, and fun to be around."

wait they don't even have cops now? i get that its the fucking flyovers but they really need flying wish guys to solve a murder? two flying wish guys to solve a murder

jfc

>>149399650
Be curious. What sort of murder requires two flying wish guys to solve it?

>>149399774
unironically the kind of murder one of them actually did, there I saved you 8 hours

>>149399188 (OP)
>to investigate a murder in the American Heartland.
could they have not had the show take place in space? Cheap sons of bitches.
>>He says Guy comes across quite smug in his first scene with Pierre's John, "but by the end of it, you can tell there is a shift," Fillion adds. "Guy Gardner is no longer comfortable. He is no longer feeling smug.
Did Jon give him some….correction?

>>149399650
>>149399774
It will obviously not be just a regular murder.

>>149401807
Back when the show was first announced, Gunn and Safran said the premise of the show would be about Hal and Jon uncovering a "eldritch terrifying mystery" that would affect the larger DCU.

>>149399188 (OP)
Damn, that nigga’s lookin zesty, like he be eatin the fruit of every nigga on the block

>>149401937
Parallax hiding on Earth? Or uncovering Nekron.

>>149402056
I'm guessing Nekron, would make for a cool overarching DCU villain

>>149399588
Hal's gonna die isn't he?

i don't get why the not true detective with bright green paint has to happen on earf

>>149399188 (OP)
Why do they hate Kyle Rayner?

>>149402991
The TV shows are probably going to be low-budget compared to the movies. Probably taking where the MCU went wrong with the D+ shows as a lesson.

>>149403029
it blows my mind that the D+ MCU shows didnt even bother having a showrunner until they started doing extremely bad to the point of reassessment. Disney really thought they were just 4-hour extended cut films

>>149399188 (OP)
>they're giving kyle rayner's story to john stewart.

>>149403168
If they were doing Kyle Rayner's story then Guy would be powerless and charged up with alien shit and Hal would be an evil crazy traitor to the corps. and John would be recruited directly by the Guardians to be the only Green Lantern in the whole universe. Kyle's story is nothing like the show description. Kyle's story sucks.

>>149402056
>>149402067
The theory back in the day was that The Centre was going to be revealed as the main villain, setting up New Frontier as the Avengers event film of the DCU's first chapter

I can only hope that this show finally exposes Tom King for the hack he is to the wider audience, because I sure as shit can't hope it's going to be good.

>>149399188 (OP)
Why does he look like the 'not a coincidence' guy?

>>149402969
Kyle Chandler is only contracted for one season, so...

bump

>>149404378
Those same leaks had most of the members of The Authority in Superman. Which may have been the original intent or an earlier version of the script.

Could be plausible, could be something else but similar.

>>149399188 (OP)
John's the least interesting of the big four GL's fuck the DCAU for singlehandedly making wanking him a top priority

>>149404378
qrd? not familiar with whatever this is

>>149405989
Read New Frontier. Basically a Lovecraftian being in Earth’s crust that can posses humans and wants to exterminate them. It compels humans to do crime and form cults

>>149399188 (OP)
Might be cool..and I've been starving for lantern content. Have to see how involved guy is though
I would like to see some minor villains show up

>>149406275
Guy might be a glorified cameo really, the main focus is Hal and Jon

I get that space stuff is more fun, but Hal spent plenty of time on Earth in his classic stories..he's meant to protect Earth after all.

>>149407177
yeah I don't get the "why is it set on Earth" complaints, nigga there are like seven human GLs on Earth alone you guys underestimate the shit that happens here on the regular

>>149407177
>>149407852
They're not using ANY of Hal or John's earth stuff either, no Carol or Hector or Goldface, so fuck off indians

>>149399188 (OP)
>And in that show... boy, Guy Gardner. I've dropped more F-bombs in that project than I have in my entire career put together
Let me guess, King wrote it.

>>149403168
Kyle is too white passing to be a token like John.

>>149404325
>Hal would be an evil crazy traitor to the corps
Who's to say that's not happening? He could turn evil, whether because of Parallax or not, and then die.

I wonder if they'll even wear costumes.

>gf says friend found Guy Gardner extremely hot in the movie, especially his bowl cut
Truly there are all kinds of people out there.

>>149409400
Jess stole his latino rep thing so they don't need him anymore

>>149409400
He's been replaced anyway.

John is the black guy
Mullen is black and gay
Jess is the spic
Keli is the much darker spic
Baz is the Arab

Kyle doesn't count for shit since we already got two white guys and a gay white guy

>>149410099
>Alan is the gay lantern
Kyle is literally too straight and white even if he had sex with Wally West and became a browner latino

>>149410099
That's sort of the annoying thing is that Lanterns are now the prime goto position for some writer to insert a token minority and brag about it on twitter for good boy points. That writers are making even MORE Tokenier versions of something we already had a decade earlier.

They made Kyle latino and then started really overloading the mexican shit on him
Then they invented Jess
Then they decided that was not enough, Jess is too american so they made Keli and had her be a super genius, and solo come from the really shitty side of Bolivia where she has to dig through landfills to survive.

They made John
That wasn't good enough, they made Simon and gave him a backstory of going to Guantanamo and being marginalized post 9-11.
Still not minority enough
So they make Jo, made her the gay girlboss that is not taken seriously while being assigned to some backwater career ending hellhole, she has to overcome

Everyone is getting darker brown and comes from a shittier and shittier background. I guess next is a black trans Venezuelan that was routinely tortured or locked in a rape dungeon for 10+ years?

>>149410359
>I guess next is a black trans Venezuelan that was routinely tortured or locked in a rape dungeon for 10+ years?
I can't believe the next Wonder Woman is also the next green lantern

>>149402067
yeah that's what they'll do, they'll make the central guy for their billion dollar investment over the next couple years someone you'd only know about if you watch a tv show about a 60 year old flying wish cop who looks like one of the goddamned Three Stooges

>>149399774
God the comics make Orion look like such a bitch

>>149411166
Orion is

>>149411166
Orion has jobbed in literally every story he appeared in.

>>149412052
Everything Orion had was given to Superman with his Darkseid rivalry

Jessica should be Hal's replacement

>>149399774
Maybe it’s this thing. Could set up a kino New Frontier-inspired Justice League movie
