It’s here! Our first, admittedly brief, look at the DCU’s Lanterns series!
Originally set to release early next year, the series is now set to debut on HBO next summer – “It’s late summer. But there’s a reason for it,” says DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran.
This means the highly anticipated series, which stars Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre as Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart – Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner will also appear – and it is being described as being “as much of a buddy cop show as a superhero show,” by showrunner Chris Mundy, will hit screens around the same time Supergirl gets released on the big screen.
The series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.
Anyway, HBO put out a sizzle reel earlier today featuring a brief, fun look at the new show, which you can watch below.
The DCU rolls on!
Thoughts? I know you have them and I wanna hear ’em all.
Watch the teaser:

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
