Green Lantern on HBO Max

Nothing is safe on WB as we speak.
This new guy that took over seems pretty ruthless.

"He has the power to wipe out entire projects, and if we believe there's even a one percent chance that he is our enemy we have to take it as an absolute certainty."

I'll be happy to see a John show as long as it's about John, and the writers don't just strip-mine Hal's life and experiences and give them to John. I also hope they keep Guy, Alan, Sinestro, etc in some form. (especially Alan)

A part of me is not surprised they're re-focusing on John Stewart because they seem to be really emphasizing him as the de-fato lead GL, yet at the same time it kind of sucks that they're dropping that generational story and Guy and Alan as a result.

Also I guess they're keeping Sinestro...which means John gets Hal's villain. Again .

Guggenheim being gone is probably good news but slashing the budget? For this kind of production?

[Scott Taylor]

So I guess they felt that gay was too controversial and so are going for black and straight as a diversity compromise?

With slashing the budget, I wonder if the show will be more a cerebral/science fiction drama than superhero adventure.(which would fit John more than Hal or Guy) Kinda like how "Watchmen" had superheroes, but it was a lot more than that and it wasn't super FX or action heavy. That might seem like a more prestige HBO direction...?

I wonder if this will fall under Gunn’s purview.

And yes, I see that the change has nothing to do with Gunn. But will it still fall under his producing?

Makes me wonder what obscure, odd-ball favorite Lantern of his he'd would want to throw into the mix. Driq? The pumpkin guy?

Guy's Irish.
