    I think it's better to do the PoC hero with white mentor rather than the cliche reverse

    At worst Ted Kord could end up being Jamie Obi-Wan if they give him a mentor role. I don't see him surviving if that's the route they take.

    Not necessarily. They could try to break the cliche of dying mentor. I think seeing both beetles interacting and working together would be cool

    Something similar with what Marvel did with the Ant-Man films?

    I think it's likely they'll mention Ted as part of the Blue Beetle legacy or have him as a mentor for Jaime like in the Rebirth comics.

    Just Zatanna in her traditional top-hat costume please. Don't even need to bother with anything else unless it's animated.

    Yeah, although Hank was artificially aged up several decades to make that work, whereas I think Ted is already somewhat older than Jaime

    GREEN LANTERN TV SERIES: NEW CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS, STORY DIRECTION, AND START DATE: EXCLUSIVE


    Last month The Direct cracked the egg on the project and now we have even more green goodness to share. Green Lantern is looking to begin shooting in April of 2021. Unlike many other Berlanti Productions, particularly those set in the Arrowverse, this project is looking to shoot in Los Angeles. We were also unable to find out the number of episodes expected to shoot and the scope of the show in terms of a commitment from HBO. We were only able to confirm a commitment for the pilot episode, which is worth mentioning and monitoring during pre-production.

    Guy Gardner: White Male, 30’s. A hulking mass of masculinity, as rendered in the comics. Guy is a personification of the hyper-patriotism found in the 1980’s that birthed Hulk Hogan and Rambo. However, Guy is still likable. He might act foolish, but he is not a fool. Guy loves his daughter and wife with all of his hard-partying, fast driving, hot tempered heart. But like many alpha males, there is a deep undercurrent of pain driving it all.

    Bree Jarta: Black, Female, 30’s. Few Lanterns take their commitment to the Corps and it’s purpose more seriously than Bree. Bree is half-human and it’s the half she’s worked hard to forget. Bree has an alien mother and a human father. However, she was raised on a more enlightened planet with an advanced society. Bree outworked her peers and earner her Ring only to find herself partnered with Guy Gardner.


    Alan Scott: White Male, 28 years old. From the outside, Alan is the model of early 1940’s. The image of a G-Man. Alan is handsome, clean-shaven and well dressed without a hair out of place. He has spent his young life trying to personify truth, justice, and the American Way. He is already a household name in L.A. and is seen as hero thanks to positive press coverage. However, for all of Alan’s honesty, there is one huge lie that follows him. He is a gay man. A fact that, in his era, could cost him his job, or even his life.
    Just as interesting as the direction of Gardner is his pairing with Bree Jarta, a new Green Lantern in the canon. There had been early rumblings that the series focusing on the Green Lantern Corps would have a Lethal Weapon buddy cop feel. It seems that Bree and Guy are the perfectly imperfect duo to track during the series. With the brash patriotism and masculinity of Guy contrasted by the alien with mixed heritage that really feels above her Earthling roots. This promises to be a fresh pairing, particularly for the superhero genre.

    Isn't Alan Scott supposed to be a lot older?

    Why? Why on God's green earth do we need another new human Green Lantern? If you want a female GL of ethnicity there's Jessica Cruz. We really don't need to bloat the ranks with more new Earthling GLs do we?

    Yeah, and if you want a Black female Lantern, there’s also Jo Mullein. We don’t need another human Lantern. This just reeks of Berlanti and his obsession with creating new characters instead of using existing ones. He did this with a lot of the CW shows!

    Can’t wait for Jessica and Simon though!
    Done with DC. Can't handle the constant whiplash! Time to go on a hiatus!

    Why does he still have a job then?
