DC’s Green Lantern is once again in the spotlight thanks to the upcoming HBO series, Lanterns. Fifteen years after the Ryan Reynolds-led Green Lantern film flopped at the box office and put the emerald hero on ice for over a decade, the character is finally getting a chance at redemption thanks to James Gunn’s DCU. Audiences have already had a taste of the new Green Lanterns thanks to the inclusion of Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) in Superman, and Lanterns is set to introduce a new set of similar characters including Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), and Sinestro (Ulrich Thomsen).
