‘Green Lantern,’ ‘Strange Adventures’ Series From Greg Berlanti in the Works at HBO Max

HBOMAX ≠ HBO

This shyt is gonna cause brand confusion lol

Be that as it may - I still trust Warner to see the potential in what they had with Watchmen, and even to look at Disney + and to steer them in that sort of direction.

Seth Grahame-Smith & Marc Guggenheim To Write ‘Green Lantern’ Series – Deadline

The DC Universe is about to experience its brightest day with the official announcement of Green Lantern coming to HBO Max in a 10-episode series, focusing on the history of the greatest heroes to ever wield the rings of willpower. The new streaming service officially announced the DC Comics series from superstar producer Greg Berlanti and showrunner Seth Grahame-Smith, which will introduce popular heroes like Guy Gardner, Alan Scott, and Jessica Cruz in the first season of the live-action show. There's no word on if the series will tie into future DC Comics movies or if it will be a stand-alone adventure through the cosmos.

Green Lantern will be co-written by Grahame-Smith and Arrowverse architect Marc Guggenheim. There's no release date yet, but fans can expect a one-hour drama series that will explore the darkest corners of the universe and the space force tasked with protecting them.

The official logline from Warner Bros. includes mentions of Kilowog and Sinestro, indicating that many members of the Green Lantern Corps will play a major role in the series. Check it out below:

"From HBO Max, DC, Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television comes a bold adaptation of the iconic comic book franchise, a saga spanning decades and galaxies. Green Lantern will depict the adventures of a multitude of Lanterns, including Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz and Alan Scott — Earth’s first Green Lantern, who, true to the comics, is a gay man — and many more. The series will also include fan favorites such as Sinestro and Kilowog, and will also introduce new heroes to the ranks of the Green Lantern Corps."

Fans might notice a few major names missing from this description, as the series doesn't seem to be including DC Comics mainstays like Hal Jordan, John Stewart, or Kyle Rayner. Other new characters like Far Sector's Jo Mullein and Green Lantern: Legacy's Tai Pham are also omitted from the logline. Of course, that doesn't mean these characters won't appear or be mentioned in the 10-episode first season, but it seems clear the show will focus on this core group of characters for now.

Grahame-Smith is best known for penning the popular novels Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, as well as his work on the films The LEGO Batman Movie, Child's Play, as well as IT and IT Chapter Two. He'll be working with established experts Guggenheim and Berlanti in charting a new course for DC's space cops on Warner Bros.' new streaming service.

Green Lantern does not yet have a release date or any casting information as of now, but stay tuned to ComicBook.com for any and all updates about the upcoming HBO Max series.

No John Stewart?!?!! Come on son...

 

[Primetime]

Couldn't decide on balancing John or Hal so they said fukk it we'll just delay both their cinematic appearances another few years

 

[Chris Cool]

nobody hyped for Kyle like that. They could've threw him in there.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Green Lantern is one of the DC characters I don't know too much about, besides appearances in the JL cartoon and animated films.

Never bothered with the Ryan Reynolds movie.

Heard them described as basically described as intergalactic space cops.

 

[pete clemenza]

GL is one of my favorites. John Stewart has to be in this

 

[parallax]

I was...

so alan scott is a traditional green lantern in this series?

At most they'll say he found a corp ring and made his own path. Can't see them going the magical meteor route
