LANTERNS SEASON 2 needs to go BIGGER! John Stewart is finally Earth's Green Lantern, but what if DC introduces Alan Scott, the ORIGINAL Green Lantern, as the central mystery of Season 2?

I loved HBO's Lanterns Season 1, especially Aaron Pierre as John Stewart and Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan. But it's time for James Gunn's DC Universe to stop holding back on the incredible Green Lantern mythology!

Season 1 gave us compelling characters, a fascinating mystery, and an emotional finale. What it didn't give us was nearly enough actual GREEN LANTERN! No traditional uniforms, limited ring powers, and a superhero series that sometimes seemed embarrassed about being a superhero series.

In this video, I'm pitching my vision for Lanterns Season 2, including one idea that could completely change the future of the DCU.

What if John Stewart discovers that Hal Jordan wasn't Earth's first Green Lantern? What if a mysterious superhero operated during World War II, disappeared into legend, and is STILL ALIVE more than 80 years later?

Enter ALAN SCOTT, DC Comics' original Green Lantern!

Imagine John Stewart investigating the mystery of Alan Scott, a 115-year-old superhero whose magical Green Lantern ring has kept him young. The Guardians of the Universe have no record of this mysterious Lantern, and Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner finds himself caught between John, Alan, and the Green Lantern Corps.

We also discuss:

🟢 Why John Stewart needs to embrace his role as Earth's Green Lantern.

🟢 Why Season 2 needs actual Green Lantern uniforms, constructs, and superhero action.

🟢 How Alan Scott, the Starheart, and the Justice Society of America could expand DCU history.

🟢 Why Guy Gardner should return without becoming John's regular partner.

🟢 Potential appearances from Superman, Mr. Terrific, and Hawkgirl.

🟢 How Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan could return through the Halogram.

🟢 Why Sinestro should be saved for a major Green Lantern movie.

🟢 How DC Studios could make Lanterns Season 2 feel bigger without spending a fortune on visual effects.

With Aaron Pierre set to appear as John Stewart in Superman: Man of Tomorrow, there's never been a better opportunity to bring Green Lantern fully into the larger DC Universe.

I'm not asking for eight episodes of nonstop CGI battles. I'm asking for a Green Lantern show that embraces what makes Green Lantern special!

And yes, we'll also have a little fun at the expense of those perpetually outraged comic book fans who apparently can't enjoy anything without finding something to complain about.

SPOILER WARNING: This discussion includes major spoilers for Lanterns Season 1 and its finale.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Should Alan Scott be introduced in Lanterns Season 2? Would you rather see John Stewart partnered with Guy Gardner? Should the show explore more of the Green Lantern Corps, or remain focused on Earth?
