The trailer was supposed to be released tomorrow, but it has leaked

 

[VulcanRaven]

I haven't read a single Green Lantern comic or watched the movie but I really liked the trailer. Glad to see Kyle Chandler.

 

[AJUMP23]

It is gone.

 

[KyoZz]

It might be good, but that's not a Lantern show. Only glimpse of the costume and he is in a cupboard, no construct too.

It is gone.

 

[AJUMP23]

I think it may be ok. Looks like TX people are all corrupt and the Lantern is here to weed out TX corruption.

Hal is the Lantern, but doesn't want to give it up. In the end they will both be Lanterns.

 

[Trogdor1123]

That looks non crappy… I don't get it. The Lanterns are one of the lamest parts of dc. This should be crappy

 

[LordCBH]

Really liked that trailer. Can't wait for the show.

 

[DKehoe]

Looks alright. They're going for something a bit different, which is very much needed for that genre just now and buddy cop makes a lot of sense for Green Lantern. So I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

I did like that last line from Hal but even as a huge DC comic collector I just can do it anymore with these superhero shows.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

CW? ew

 

[Stitch]

The brown lantern

 

[Little Mac]

Looked better than expected to be honest.

 

[VulcanRaven]

The trailer is now on Youtube.

 

[AgatonSax]

Time is most definitely a flat circle.

 

[Mister Apoc]

Who is generally considered more powerful Hal or John

any comic book fans?

 

[SJRB]

Bizarre.

 

[March Climber]

CW? ew

This isn't CW, that tweet was trying to be funny.

CW is currently experiencing a death rattle similar to Spike TV and old G4 in their final years before they shut down, which means reruns of old popular shows that were sunset from other networks years ago, for cheap viewership numbers.

Hal Jordan: more willpower

John Stewart: more skill

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I don't follow this to much other than a few movies. Is Hal training his replacement, or will he be an additional team member?

The ring chooses the person it deems worthy to wear it based on strong willpower when its current wearer dies, so I don't really know what's going on here

Thanks, this definitely seems confusing.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Kelly MacDonald? Whaaaat lol.

 

[Ozzie666]

Not sure on the tone, comes off as a bit cheap feeling too. Unless they are hiding the green effects somewhere and action, highly possible. Obviously it's only a trailer, but if they really don't show a lot of the comical powers, it's just a Tango and Cash show. Which might still be good.

Could be during Hal being possessed by Spectre or Parallaex. Or about to be?

Plenty of material to use for Hal. For now we know he's training John. Unsure if for a specific task or just fresh into the corps.

John does get injected by something yellow in the trailer and is likely why he says that mean stuff to Hal. Has to learn to fight fear like Hal.

 

[Diddy X]

I understand these shows tend to be more grounded but still they should have shown some construct action...?

 

[SJRB]

I'm still completely baffled they took this approach with Green Lantern of all superheroes.

 

[StueyDuck]

I like the look of it... but the whole show must keep that serious tone. They keep throwing around true detective, that sets big expectations for the show.

If it turns into the boys juvenile stuff and cartoonish then it's gonna be hot steaming shit.

Im ok with there not being silly suits and big monsters eating cities etc (the stuff gunns superman kind of flopped )

 

[Days like these...]

Looks much better than the super movie and the girl super movie trailer. But better than shit isn't saying much

 

[Trilobit]

Wow, does this show even have a budget? Why make a GL show with almost zero sfx? Of course this is just a trailer, but the 25 year old Smallville season 1 seems to have done more exciting stuff than anything that will come from this show. 3/10 interest based on trailer.

 

[KyoZz]

 

[trikster40]

That looked really good. I'm in!

 

[thefool]

Why did they change green for dog poo?

 

[VulcanRaven]

I thought the suit looked good. I take that over the bad cgi costume from the movie.

 

[CastorSoze]

I do hope they were just holding back on the effects since it's a teaser.
But the fact he has a physical uniform rather than a construct and then when he took off flying it just looked normal, no costume change or even green glow.

Though at least they acknowledged other non-human lanterns.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Looks ok, will have to see how good the powers are. That's the whole reason to even watch.

 

[KyoZz]

I hate people like him who think they know better than 80 years of comics. If you're not interested into doing a GREEN Lantern show, do something else ffs we don't need YOUR vision.

I think it's important to watch the video where that clip came from.



They were being cheeky, sarcastic, and fun throughout the entire interview. Even the questions and answers about the other shows he worked on were ridiculous or dumb on purpose.

It seems that you have fallen for a twitter clipbait KyoZz

Wait Damon Lindelof is the showrunner of Lanterns? I'm less excited for this now..

Yeah maybe, but there is still no GREEN in this Green Lantern show. And Lindelof is also a big red flag to me...

 

[Grenseal]

I don't know, the tone of this is just all over the place. I would try to be optimistic, but the last thing we need right now is a doomer Hal Jordan with a cocky better-than-you replacement without receipts. Add to the fact that it looks like they are going to 'correct' the town and also treat the Lantern Corps as an unserious collective of weirdos, this is just throwing all kinds of red flags to me. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm going to trust my gut and keep the expectations at rock bottom. By the way, you don't have to fucking cuss at every fucking moment to appear more fucking serious and fucking adult.

 

[GateofD]

so a lanturn show that has no lanturn stuff?

I have similar concerns. Hal comes off as too jaded in this but I think the actor really nails the look and from what I understand he's a great actor so while I'm worried about the seemingly lack of lantern powers, lantern colors and maybe some of the themes of the show, I think we may at least get a good Hal Jordan.
