Exciting news for Green Lantern fans here, as it's just been announced that a live-action TV series based on the popular DC Comics hero is being developed for HBO Max.
The show will be produced by Greg Berlanti, who actually co-wrote the much maligned GL movie starring Ryan Reynolds back in 2011. The prolific DC TV producer will also work on a new Strange Adventures anthology series for the streaming service.
"Both of these original DC properties we’ll be creating for HBO Max will be unlike anything seen on television,” said Berlanti. "An anthology series of cautionary tales set in a world where superpowers exist, and, in what promises to be our biggest DC show ever made, we will be going to space with a Green Lantern television series, but I can’t reveal any more about that just yet."
All additional details for Green Lantern - including which member of The Corps the show will focus on - are indeed under wraps for the time being, but we do know that Strange Adventures will feature characters from the DC Comics Universe and "explore closed-ended morality tales about the intersecting lives of mortals and superhumans."
What doi you guys think about this news? Are you glad there's a Green Lantern series in the works, or would you prefer to see the character get another shot on the big screen?
