Summary The DCU's upcoming HBO series, Lanterns, is taking a similar approach to James Gunn's Superman in how it will approach introducing its titular heroes into the universe. Originally described in a similar vein to True Detective, HBO's Lanterns series will feature the iconic Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart as they get drawn into an Earth-based murder mystery.
Lanterns' Premise Repeats DCU Superman's Clever Timeline Approach According to DCU co-CEO James Gunn, Superman will not be a traditional superhero origin story, and instead focus a little later down the line for the Man of Steel. Lanterns' story promise of new recruit John Stewart working alongside a veteran Hal Jordan suggests this will take a similar approach.
Origin stories are synonymous with superhero films, and some of the best superhero movies are naturally also origin stories. While this made sense for an audience less versed in the genre, its increased success makes this approach less necessary.
