Currently Playing: Lanterns will SAVE the DCU

🎬 In this FilmSpeak video essay we discuss why Lanterns will SAVE the DCU as we breakdown the new trailer from comic con. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE: https://youtube.com/filmspeak?sub_confirmation=1 The new Lanterns trailer might have just revealed the best project to come out of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU so far. Starring Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, HBO’s upcoming Green Lantern series combines the gritty atmosphere of True Detective and Training Day with the cosmic scale of DC Comics. In this video, we break down the new Lanterns trailer, the show’s dual timelines, John Stewart’s rise as Green Lantern, Hal Jordan’s fear of being replaced, and Sinestro’s potential influence over his former student. Could Hal be corrupted by Parallax? Is his apparent death connected to the central conspiracy? And are the Manhunters secretly living among humanity? We also discuss the trailer’s Manhunters, alien mystery, off-world sequences, Green Lantern constructs, and possible connections to Blackest Night, the Hyperclan, Martian Manhunter and the wider future of the DCU. With Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof and Tom King behind the series, Lanterns looks like a bold neo-Western detective story that could restore confidence in the DC Universe after Supergirl. Could Lanterns become the DCU’s first true television masterpiece? Let me know your theories about Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Sinestro, Parallax and the Manhunters in the comments! #lanterns #greenlantern #videoessay #dcu #jamesgunn #jamesgunndc #kylechandler #aaronpierre #podcast #jamesgunndcu #dc #haljordan #johnstewart #superman Edited by @CadesCinema Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAlhR6RxXQux2LWok1cIL6w/join ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎞 Chapters 🎞 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎞 About Lanterns 🎞 Starring Aaron Pierre and Kyle Chandler, Lanterns is created by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King for HBO, based on the DC Comics Green Lantern characters Hal Jordan and John Stewart.
