The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨TAG SPOILERS🚨)

There’s gonna be more than 2 people in the show, so I’d imagine there’s still gonna be some casting to hear about. And then…December!

Would be cool to get something at NYCC. Maybe a poster? New pic? Wouldn’t rule it out!

That's true. For some reason, I figured that most of the remaining cast would be filled with original characters, as opposed to characters taken from the comics. Who are you expecting to see next?

Well I wanna get confirmation on Kelly MacDonald and who her character is, then maybe whoever Hal and John will be reporting to (Ganthet, other Guardians or Lanterns?), maybe a colleague or love interest for John, some idea of the antagonist(s), who knows!

When it comes to Green Lantern lore, I'm basically general audience. It's such a weird feeling.

Again, Star Wars with space cops with magic mood rings.

I feel like I know a fair amount but I also feel like this show is gonna deliberately dip us into it slowly so I’m kinda expecting a bunch of original characters to start out with…kinda like what Watchmen did. So IDK how many I’ll recognize but I fully expect Lindelof to have a “surprise” character or two in there.

I'm sorry Krona creating a doomsday event by summoning the Anti-Monitor is too complex.

Yeah, I know the basics but none of the juicy stuff.

The Lanterns corner of the DC Universe might be my favorite, even though my opinion of the actual GL’s as characters varies wildly. Their sandbox is just so much fun! I love coming up with headcanons for the logistics of their day-to-day lol, and I absolutely cannot wait to see to see how this creative team brings it to life because I know they’ll be all-in on the world-building.

Do you know much about Chris Mundy? I'm curious about what strengths he brings to the project, as I'm already familiar with the work of the other creatives involved.

Such an easy concept to grasp! I mean he only saw a hand!

I only know Ozark from him, and that’s just behind Mindhunter as my favorite series Netflix has made. Fantastic show. Also brought it to a very satisfying conclusion imo, which is rare in TV in general, I find. The man can tell a story, that’s for sure.

I will agree for the first two seasons...then it got ridiculous.

Hard disagree there. I thought the stuff with Wendy’s brother was the absolute best. Just devastating. Speaking of, would love to see Tom Pelphrey show up here. He was brilliant on that show.

 

[flickchick85]

Far as I’m concerned, the only way Lanterns could have possibly found a better set of creators is if Vince Gilligan hopped aboard. Otherwise, can’t ask for a better team in television imo.

 

[DCDAVE]

At least we have Green Lantern news to distract us from the Superman drought.

I want to hear more about thr true superstar of the movie, Krypto.

 

[emielaen]

Gilligan for a The Question HBO series.

The Question is really great for some out there television. I still get tickled at him being cut off before revealing why the government puts hidden radios in aglets.

I am very zen about news, and information. We all knew that there would be an empty zone after filming, now the editing, and so forth. 2025 is the year of Superman, so I have accepted it. Don't have to like it, but it is so. I am enjoying every small crumb that comes along, knowing more and better is in the future. A Zen approach. I can live with it.

The brother was sure...but the end of Season 3 made me quit and never go back. Nothing I heard about how everything finished has intrigued but maybe I will this winter.

This movie is gonna make me cry!

 

[Chip Chipperson]

turns out we are in the brightest timeline after all

It just took a little time to get to the good stuff
