I'm sure there were similar thoughts when Guardians of the Galaxy got a movie
One Ring to rule them all. One galactic savior.
They're both WB properties so wait for Sauron to wield a yellow ring
This tagline is dumb. The entire deal is Green Lantern's are an entire galactic peace keeping organization with thousands of members. Several people where the ring. It's like saying only one person can join Starfleet.
Although I expressed it badly, my suggestion was that the tagline means there can be only one Green Lantern per sector. Maybe, I dunno, Hal is the GL emeritus of the sector, Guy is the current active GL, and John is a trainee or backup.
I was having those thoughts.
Sure, but the difference being Clayface is often seen as Batman's villain (although I guess that's strictly true as seen on Harley Quinn) whereas the Guardians are a team of their own without being seen as a secondary connection to other heroes or villains.
At this point it’s possible he is still going to be a Batman villain. If they wanted they could have set Clayface outside of Gotham. He is an actor maybe Los Angeles/Hollywood or New York City. In this universe clearly Metropolis or Gotham are not analogs for New York but separate distinct cities.
Not saying they will do this but they could take the approach Wicked For Good did with Dorothy. Batman is a presence in the story buts not really about him. Would not even have to cast an actor yet.

The online kerfuffle over the tagline is another nothingburger, hot on the heels of the
Number one, it’s a tagline. Its function is to sound punchy, cool, and intriguing. Beyond that, it’s of no importance.
Number two, it says only one can wear the ring, not a ring. As in, only one can wear the ring at the center of this show. Meaning either Jordan or Stewart.
IOW, it’s highlighting what will presumably be a narrative driver of the series — that between these two characters, only one can wear the ring. Seems pretty obvious.
But as always, I guess fans gotta fan.
Come to think of it, it's a given that only one person can wear a ring at a time. (Unless it's a really oversized ring or they have really small fingers.)
That's been the case in DC for a long time, since New York City has often been a setting alongside Metropolis and Gotham (IIRC, Teen Titans was set there). In the '70s, there was a DC atlas putting Metropolis in Delaware, overlapping Dover -- which, fittingly, is in Kent County -- and Gotham in New Jersey, on the opposite side of Delaware Bay.

What I get from the trailer is that Hal wants to retire and pass on his ring to a worthy successor.
I mean, they made a critically acclaimed Penguin series. Surely they can pull off a Clayface movie even if it's not the same team. The trailer looks good.
Nothing about the Lanterns series looks appealing to me for some reason. It looks like CW fare.

If it looked like CW fare, I'd be more interested in it.
Curious what that means in this context. Often it's a slam at shows with a young cast. Or do you mean its looks like one of the DCW superhero shows?

Drive-by swipes at The CW’s DC content are tedious and unjustified. At the very least, it gave us two of the finest superhero TV series ever produced in Superman & Lois and Black Lightning, and virtually all of it was at least entertaining until the shows eventually ran out of steam. (I particularly loved the first four seasons of Supergirl.)
i wonder if oliver queen is gonna make a cameo on the new dc comics tv show lanterns since he is specter aka the guy who created the mutliverse
I don't think that particular multiverse will be seen in the DCU
As someone currently rewatching The Flash TV Series, it is so much better then what we've seen of Lanterns. I just watched The Flash fight a hyper intelligent Gorilla in an arena in the middle of a city of intelligent Gorillas. Give me that over The Brown Lantern and its grounded True detective style stuff any day of the week.
They may have occasionally been let down by budget or mediocre writers, but The Flash and most of the other CW DC shows were almost always proudly superhero shows, and quite frankly thats what I want in superhero shows/movies nowadays. I'm absolutely sick of "grounded realism" in my media about people who can fly or run faster then the speed of light or who are basically space cops with "magic" rings, etc.
Yeah, let's compare an entire series to some short clips and a trailer.
I believe you're misreading the tag; the "only one" appears to be more of a fan-targeted nod to the idea that for most of the Silver Age Green Lantern concept's life forward, there was--more often than not--just one Lantern for a sector, or Earth, since many of Hal Jordan's adventures dealt with Earth, including his various stints serving with the Justice League. I do not imagine the "only one" was a reference to the Guardians' organization, in addressing your Starfleet reference.
Par for the course for kirk, honestly.Yeah, let's compare an entire series to some short clips and a trailer.
