News Green Lantern-Inspired Series in Works at HBO Max, From Greg Berlanti

[DigificWriter]

I cancel it as soon as they charged my card. You still get the full month.

If you cancel your All Access subscription when you get charged, you've just paid for something you're not actually going to be getting the following month because CBS doesn't bill its All Access customers until the end of a given month... which means this idea makes no sense.

Presumably, it will have a bigger budget than CW shows, but hopefully, take place in the same universe. With Arrow ending and Crisis looming, I would absolutely love it if when the dust settles, Diggle is John Stewart, has his ring, and is one of the leads of this show.

The chances of this being set in the Arrowverse are completely non-existent.

 

[Mudd]

There's no doubt that Berlanti and his team will carry their values forward into whatever they produce.

 

[Noname Given]

It's HBO Max, which doesn't necessarily have the same seal of quality as the original HBO...

I'm sure there will eventually be a lot of cross-pollination (IE after a year or two of exclusivity on HBO Max, these productions will start popping up on HBO proper).

Yay! The Lanterns always seemed like a better fit for a nice big budget TV series rather than a movie.

Very much looking forward to this already, now if only they'd announce that Jessica Cruz will be in it...

 

[Mudd]

It's a Berlantiverse show - eventually, everybody will be in it.

 

[dahj]

On that note, I do wonder if Berlanti will choose to have a more active role in this one.

 

[Professor Zoom]

I have no idea what HBO is costing me now, but the difference couldn't be all that much. Fifteen a month? Meh.

From what I heard, if you pay for HBO now, you will get HBOmax. It's basically the same price.

If the budget will be big enough for what the GL mythos requires.

 

[dahj]

They need a few flagship shows for the new service, I doubt they'll skimp on the budget.

 

[Skywalker]

I find it kind of confusing that this will be on HBO Max (ugh, terrible name) and not DC Universe. Why have DC Universe as a separate service if you're not going to make it the destination for DC-based streamed shows?

And yet, I've done it twice.

I get the impression it's more about having a flagship show to help launch HBO Max. That's from WarnerMedia, and they want something big and popular to launch it with, and superhero franchises are the biggest thing right now.

Because the biggest draw of DC Universe is comics.

This Green Lantern thing is very interesting to me. Presumably, it will have a bigger budget than CW shows, but hopefully, take place in the same universe. With Arrow ending and Crisis looming, I would absolutely love it if when the dust settles, Diggle is John Stewart, has his ring, and is one of the leads of this show.

I'm pretty sure it won't be, Berlanti and co. produce Titans, and it and the other DCU shows are set in their own separate universe(s).

DC Universe is going to go the way of Earth-S.

 

[crookeddy]

I doubt ANYONE got DC Universe for their revolving collection of random comics.

 

[Skywalker]

DC Universe is going to go the way of Earth-S.

Yeah, that's what I'm figuring will happen, too.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Very easily Green Lanterns should be seen as Terrorists.

A foreigner wandering around your city with the equivalence of an unlicensed nuclear weapon on their finger, beating up poor people.

Its very possible that the Lantern Corps are only allowed to protect low tech unadvanced wolds like 1960s America, you know, like how comparatively when the CIA went into Laos.

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on DCU as well, after a period of exclusivity of course.

Doom Patrol is already confirmed to be on both, no reason why other shows couldn't be as well.

 

[DigificWriter]

You'd be surprised.

Also, I believe that the service has stopped removing comics.
