"Green Lantern Corp (HBO Max Series)" News & Discussion (Spoilers)

That's...kind of random. Not sure GL is the kind of franchise you want to make serious and dark .

Well, they also don't want to make it like Reynolds's version.

The last time they made that promise we got Titans.

So either "@#$% Sinestro" or "@#$% The Guardians" .

Not exactly breaking the mold here for another space opera series, then.
They seem to be referencing something specific with regard to HBO's Watchmen & I can certainly do with less of that.

Production designer Francois Audouy revealed he's on the crew.
"I'm about to start a project at HBO Max reimagining one of the most beloved original characters from the DC universe, Green Lantern. Actually so hopefully, we're trying to get the scripts together for that and hopefully that'll go into production at some point"

Well, hopefully production is still progressing .

Yep. So many projects have been put on hold the past year or so.

Writer and consulting producer Lamont Magee finished work on the series.

It feels like they've been working on this forever.

2+ years. I hope it's because they've been doing their due diligence and getting it right.

Well, it's possible the pandemic offset things of course.

And definitely you want to hope they're making sure they get this right...

How right can they be making it if they are making it TV-MA rated? Shutting out kids from the newest Green Lantern series? My hopes are actually basement low for this because of that. I'm expecting Titans redux,.

I'm not sure if this will be intended for general audiences, but I don't expect it to get as dark as Titans.

It doesn't matter. DC making a TV-MA Green Lantern show means they need their heads examined. I would talk similar smack if the Fred Rogers Foundation released an edgy R-rated Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. The notion is utterly ridiculous.

I think that was only rumored, not confirmed. In any case, I could see them rationalizing it as the GLC are cops so like 'The Shield in space, it should be TV-MA.' Plus, add in that HBO Max is probably in its 'Wild West' years where scrutiny on broadcast standards and practices is not prevalent. If the content ends up being wall to wall gratuitous for no reason, then yeah, that's on them. But considering this may be a show will likely include aliens of countless races with power rings fighting criminals and cosmic horrors, it's going to get violent depending on what stories they're telling, case of the week vs. the universe is at stake. Could be interesting if there's a character who's conflicted with the kind of force a Green Lantern is allowed to administer.

Yes, if we're going by precedent of all the DC shows on HBO Max, this would very likely be the same.

 

[Fone Bone]

Titans isn't just the worst DC show live-action or animated ever, I would seriously argue it is the very worst superhero show of all time. DC does not have a good track record there.
