Green Lantern on HBOMax
- Thread starter Mudd
- Start date
I have very little interest in Green Lantern(s) as a DC franchise, but Tom King is probably the best comics writer ever IMO, so his involvement with this project is certainly promising.
Same here, though the animated series was amazing.
Probability of watching this in its entirety, 100%.
I thought it was fantastic, way beyond what I'd initially expected.
But only on Mondays.
LOL--You beat me to it! That is exactly what it sounds like. It's a great decision to have an Earth based story as the first season. It gives viewers time to learn about the Corps and the GL power set before going all out space opera. I still believe if the movie had done something like this then it would have been better received.
I blame Blade 3.
Ryan Reynolds was a no one failure going no where, and that is never going to change.
It seems the thread title is incorrect; the show will actually be on old-school HBO, though it is expected to stream on Max eventually:
This is good news AFAIC, since I get HBO but don't do the streaming thing. Will definitely check it out on the basis of King's involvement, if nothing else.

Crave, in Canada, has aired HBO shows since before Max in a streaming format. I watched GoT that way, along with many others. I wonder how that will work. --although I can't imagine a huge delay in putting the program up for streaming.
Really, a mystery in the American heartland? Thats not really Green Lantern work, much less two GLs. Plus Tom King and Lindelof are involved? It sounds like something that is going to be horrendously obnoxious and care nothing about the source material, but will appeal to "prestige" TV snobs. Basically, it sounds like DC's version of Andor.
Well, it makes sense that some of the new DC stuff that Gunn isn't directly making is going to suck, hopefully this Green Lantern project is a black sheep among the new DC stuff and doesn't lead to more things like it.

Guess you never read GL/GA from the 70s?
He was in the American Heartland as a door to door toy salesman, not as a superhero, because he couldn't hold down a job as a test pilot. I was wondering about Green Arrow though, while he's out there where is he getting his dope, and since he's lost all his money to the IRS, is it likely that he's selling his surplus?
My problem with the plot to this series, is that it is going to take 2 Green Lanterns 12 weeks to solve one murder. Which is what happened in the first season of Preacher. It's supposed to be about a road trip, but they stay in one town for ten episodes.
If they do well, HBO will give them more money for season 2.
That’s not a twist. Thats like a 30 year old plot point.
You mean the storyline that had a point, and was pretty much the culmination of years of character development for two different characters, one of which was Green Arrow? Yeah, I read it. Guess what? There were no "Murders in the American Heartland", it wasn't a police procedural or a mystery story. The story was a long road trip and even included a Guardian along for the ride, and while events happened it was very character focused. Plus, and its obvious but it must be said, Tom King and the guy who made Lost wouldn't be worthy of being in the same room as Dennis O'Neil.
Honestly You might as well have asked me if I'd read "Wonder Woman from the 40s" for all the relevance GL/GA has to this Lanterns show. Outside of hal jordan being in a story with a second lead that comic has literally no resemblance to the show as described at all.
