The Official Lanterns News & Discussion Thread

[emielaen]

Let’s see if they keep up a lil tradition by releasing something within the first week or so like with Superman, Peacemaker and Supergirl.

IMDB also has a stunt coordinator listed from Daredevil, Deadpool and Terminator: Dark Fate, among others.

IMDB lists John Paino (The Last of Us, The Leftovers) as production designer.

That's cool. I really liked his work on Sharp Objects, as well as the two shows you mentioned.

 

[Karelia]

Mannnn I can't wait until we get some set photos or official photos for this.

 

[DCDAVE]

Can’t wait to see Aaron Pierre in that Lantern uniform.

 

[Sawyer]

Watching the premiere of White Lotus and am thoroughly amused looking back on the rumors of Patrick Schwarzenegger playing Hal, considering what direction they actually went in with that character.

 

[Sawyer]

Also when tf we getting that first look photo?

Not soon. TV series aren't usually promoted very early.

I mean, if we’re talking about Chandler and Pierre in-costume, yeah, that’s still a ways off. But HBO is usually good about putting the word out when cameras are rolling…

Perhaps a simple way to make him look younger, like a rookie alongside his older, more experienced partner...

True, but a timeline on how to roll out and reveal the DCU likely also comes into play here.

Going clean shaven for John?

Noooooo...!

I hope that's only for flashbacks or other scenes set earlier in his career, etc. He looks so good with the goatee!

"Lanterns" will reportedly be "very adult" and "very weird" via DanielRPK.

I am curious what they mean by very adult. What I am hoping is for mature/intense writing, maybe lean into the cosmic horror.

What I am hoping it is not: "Hal Goes Wild: Alien Edition."

I’m expecting it to be similar to the Watchmen show in tone. That was both “adult” and “weird,” but still fun and comic book-y. And on that note, if we could get Reznor/Ross back to score it, that would be amazing imo.

Probably in the same sense as The Penguin. Not pulling punches when it comes to violence/death. Probably swearing. Maybe some sex, but not to the same degree as Game of Thrones.

It’s the weird thing that perks my ears up. I thought Lindelof’s Watchmen was weird as ****, so if it’s following that path… I’m excited.

I would love if they manage to get them to do the score!

 

[LifesEnd]

Lindelof shows usually have a fantastic score imo. Lost, Leftovers, Watchmen are some of my favourites. If hes heavily involved which i hope he is in getting together the writing room etc i hope the score is just as good. Hoping Reznor and ross can doa DC score again. Maybe this or Luca's Sgt rock film?

 

[Lily Adler]

I think Flashpoint being The Flash's solo movie debut storyline was just... a big mistake. Idk, maybe if I liked the actor that played Barry Allen, I would have felt differently. I've never cared for Ezra Miller's portrayal for Barry one bit. I did enjoy the first two or three seasons of the TV series though!

Can't wait until we get some set photos leaks... getting closer to that day, hopefully!

I also just finished collecting every single issue of the Kyle Rayner run! I do hope we get Kyle some day down the road...

They wanted to "fix" the DCEU and salvage what worked for them (Harley, Shazam, WW, Aquaman) and dump the rest.

Doom Patrol weird would be too much.

I really did not have Garret Dillahunt being this show’s unofficial hype man on my bingo card lol.

 

[Sawyer]

You’ll get ass monsters and sentient non-binary streets and you’ll ****ing like it.
