Lanterns reveals John Stewart's father was Guardians' first choice before Hal Jordan
The DCU series Lanterns adopts a True Detective–style, grounded detective premise, focusing on John Stewart’s origin and the hidden Manhunter mystery while revealing Hal Jordan’s uneasy role as Earth’s veteran Lantern and the Guardians’ involvement in selecting successors. Critics are debating Hal’s portrayal, which threads through Parallax backstory implications, and the show emphasizes a practical, tactile Hal Jordan costume as part of a broader shift to a more grounded aesthetic.
