News Green Lantern-Inspired Series in Works at HBO Max, From Greg Berlanti
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
The first season, assume that the Corps is recovering from Hal/Paralax and do the Rebirth storyline with Flashbacks to before Hal goes mad after the Coast City incident. The series writes itself.
Johns ideas basically created the Arrowverse. I think the beats of his run, combined with Flashbacks in the style of Arrow -- but in this case to explain elements of the Green Lantern story-- could be very successful. Second Season--Sinestro Corps war with the flashbacks being Hal's relationship with Sinestro.
Well if you look at the arrowverse - many of the concepts make it but actual straight adaptations? No.
That's true. The CW shows use the concepts but tell them in unique ways--this is similar to the MCU. Film and television adaptations have so far chosen not to tell the exact comic book stories except for those productions made from Indy comic books.
It's not HBO, it's HBO Max, a streaming service. We don't know how the budgets will compare. But they'll still probably be less than a tentpole feature film's budget.
Either way, the point is the same -- whether it's for budgetary reasons, creative reasons, or just everyday common sense, it should be obvious that the designs and footage from the movie will not simply be recycled in the show. Therefore, the clips from the movie as "Earth-12" at the end of Crisis were not intended to represent the upcoming Max series. Some people online (including so-called "journalists") just failed to do their homework and jumped to the conclusion that it was a preview clip of a series that's barely entered development yet, rather than a tribute to a past movie.
It's not new footage but it's a teaser nonetheless.
Quick - spot the TNG footage in the first teaser promo for that series:
What they're telling the audience is that the Corps is a "real" part of the Berlantiverse. That's no less an implicit promise than the Stargirl stuff.

It is a flagship show for a freshly launching premium service, I think it's safe to say the budget will likely be several times the average Arrowverse show, and a lot can be done with that.
I never said it couldn't be. I'm just saying that it won't be the same as the movie, and that the movie clips we saw were not previews of the show as some mistakenly assumed.
For whatever it might add to this discussion ... Marc Guggenheim says that the Green Lantern movie footage was something the Arrowverse producers wanted, but had to negotiate permission to use:

I can almost guarantee that the multiple color corps will be a part of it. Pretty much everything involving the Lanterns since they were introduced has involved them, and I doubt the show will be different.
Who here was claiming the footage was a actual preview? The series is still in pre production.
As I already said two or three times, several online articles have made that mistake. I was referring to the writers of those articles, not to anyone here.
That apologist Geoff Johns changed that.
Her planet revolves around it's sun slowly, or it's a larger orbit.
14 alien years is the same as 300 earth years.
This is NOT what was established as canon in the 80s, actually it's the opposite. Arisia said that 2 alien years are the same as 1 Earth year, so back home she's 30 and Hal is 60, which is legal on earth.
Hal Jordan is a Pervert who should have been Freddie Kruegered years ago.
