Episode 2 of Lanterns, "Trust Fall," premieres on HBO Max tonight, and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has shared a brief new teaser. The promo doesn't feature any footage, but does show a version of the show's logo with a bird.

Fans have been speculating about what this could mean, but as you may recall, Aaron Pierre recently revealed that his favorite construct his character, John Stewart, creates in the series is a bird.

We also have some more stills, along with a series of DC Comics Lanterns-themed variant covers, one of which gives us another look at Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) in his GL costume.

So far, we have only seen Jordan suited up in the flashback scene with a young Stewart watching the hero's TV interview. In the series premiere, Hal tells a fan that he only wears the uniform on "special occasions," comparing donning the costume to wearing a tie outside of working hours. 

We haven't seen John in his costume (he may not have been given one yet), but he is expected to suit up before the season finale.

HBO in association with Warner Bros. Television and DC Studios. The pilot episode is co-written by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King, who are co-creators for the series. Mundy serves as showrunner. The first two episodes are directed by James Hawes, with Stephen Williams, Geeta Vasant Patel, and Alik Sakharov also tapped to direct. The series is executive produced by Mundy, Lindelof, James Gunn, Peter Safran, King, Ron Schmidt, and Hawes. Based on the DC comic characters from Green Lantern.

The series stars Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre, Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Laura Linney, Jason Ritter, Ulrich Thomsen, Nathan Fillion, J. Alphonse Nicholson, and Jasmine Cephas Jones.

The series follows new recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) and Lantern legend Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland.

@regmovieguy - TRIGGERED? 😂😂 Zack Snyder ONLY directed his films like MoS, BvS, JLA,Wonder Woman 1, Aquaman 1 which ALL was written by AWARD WINNERS David Goyer & Chris Terrio. Sorry you loose that debate. Not to mention Zacks 1st 2 movies OUT GROSSED Gunns DCU & Sold TWICE as many tickets..ALL AROUND THE WORLD while Gunns Domestic Man can ONLY get support amongst his small dwindling glazers. Who dont stream his content or buy tickets to his movies.
COPE-A-MANIA!

@KalSonOfEl - there was a JLA movie? Must have missed that one.

Don't think Snyder wrote or directed WW1 or Aquaman 1

Maybe fact check so you don't look like a boastful dumbass.

@KalSonOfEl

“Snyder ONLY directed his films like MoS, BvS, JLA,Wonder Woman 1, Aquaman 1”

Zack Snyder didn’t direct Aquaman (a billion dollar hit for the studio) or Wonder Woman (the most critically successful DCEU movie). Chris Terrio won an academy award for Argo - his first and easily most successful film. And David Goyer hasn’t been relevant since his collaboration with Chris and Jonathan Nolan, lmao.

“Sorry you loose that debate.”

Lmao. You don’t even know which movies Snyder directed.

“Not to mention Zacks 1st 2 movies OUT GROSSED Gunns DCU”

Man of Steel was coming off the success of Nolan’s TDK trilogy and the hype of DC competing with Marvel for a new universe, and it barely outgrossed Superman. 😂

“COPE-A-MANIA!”

Bro you’ve been here since 2011 and have been coping since Snyder was fired in 2016. No one sucks Gunn’s dick as much as you do with Zack Snyder, a director who has only failed upwards and has the most embarrassing fans this side of Star Wars.

Youre too easy😂 Zack didn't have to direct those 2 films because they BELONG to HIS UNIVERSE! He picked the cast, the director etc...Like Gunn is responsible for Supergirl.
TDKR??? Did you forget that Chris Nolan is The Executive producer over Zacks DCU? That Chris Nolan HIRED HIM?! That is his DCU (CHRIS NOLAN)with Zack Snyder as director. In 2013 MoS OUT SOLD Gunns 2025 Superman film. Gunns Superman sold HALF as many tickets etc. Gunns Superman was REJECTED INTERNATIONALLY. The reason why Gunns contract has NOT been restore & hes set to LEAVE DC in Feb 2027. Zack & Frank Miller with Ben Affleck are doing Dark Knight Returns with wait a minute Henry Cavill back as Superman. Paramount is rereleasing Zacks JLA in IMAX theaters...Dont believe me? Go to IMAX Instagram they've been posting it for WEEKS!😂😂😂 No matter what you say TIME IS ON MY SIDE. Lanterns could be a hit...shit Clayface could be a Hit..doesn't matter ZACK SNYDER will be back in 2027

“Did you forget that Chris Nolan is The Executive producer over Zacks DCU? That Chris Nolan HIRED HIM?! That is his DCU (CHRIS NOLAN)with Zack Snyder as director.”

And they’re the worst movies in Chris’ filmography, lmao. Pretty easily. Luckily, Nolan is one of the greatest directors working today and has managed to get out unscathed. Snyder, on the other hand, doesn’t have any major distribution for his next movie.

“In 2013 MoS OUT SOLD Gunns 2025 Superman film. Gunns Superman sold HALF as many tickets etc. Gunns Superman was REJECTED INTERNATIONALLY. The reason why Gunns contract has NOT been restore & hes set to LEAVE DC in Feb 2027.”

Less people are going to the movies. Look up how many tickets Donner’s Superman sold and then look at MOS you [frick]ing retard 😂

And MOS barely made more. Despite having Chris Nolan attached to the movie, despite the hype for a new comic universe that would rival Marvel, despite the genre being in its golden age of box office, it barely made more than Superman.

You should also know that studio’s get a bigger cut from domestic sales than they do internationally. So saying MOS was a bigger hit internationally isn’t the big deal you think it is when the difference in box office is minimal, lmao.

“Zack & Frank Miller with Ben Affleck are doing Dark Knight Returns with wait a minute Henry Cavill back as Superman.”

Hahahaha. Seriously dude. How old are you? You’ve had this account for 15 years, 10 of which Zack Snyder hasn’t had a theatrical release. You’ve been coping for a decade saying Snyder is coming back and he hasn’t and he won’t. He’d be lucky to work with a major studio again.

“Paramount is rereleasing Zacks JLA in IMAX theaters...Dont believe me? Go to IMAX Instagram they've been posting it for WEEKS!”

Why would paramount re-release ZSJL? They don’t own the rights to it. And if they did, it would probably make like 10k over a weekend 😂

“No matter what you say TIME IS ON MY SIDE.”

Bro you’ve been waiting 10 years. You’ll be dead in the ground before another Zack Snyder DC movie releases. And so will everyone on this site, lmao. It’s never going to happen.

“Let COPE-A-MANIA BEGIN”

Nothing says cope-a-mania like the mental illness you’ve been dealing with since 2016. The fact you made a second account on this site is virgin shit, bro. 😂

No [frick]ing shit, lmao. Spider-Man is the most popular superhero in the world you retard. No modern Superman movie has outgrossed Spider-Man.

Do you not remember Civil War making 1.2 billion when BvS dropped like a rock? BvS made 500 million opening weekend and word of mouth was so bad it couldn’t even reach a 2x multiplier.

“while The Odyssey is in theaters breaking records.”

Both Spider-Man and The Odyssey made more than MOS and Superman. Lmao. Chris Nolan is on another level than Zack Snyder and James Gunn. This isn’t the own you think it is. And, factually, a lot less people are going to the movies. These movies are making money and breaking records due to ticket price increases. The same shit you’re arguing about in another thread which makes you look even more stupid.

@regmovieguy - Chris Nolan was THE CEO over Zack Snyders MoS, BvS, JLA, WW1, Aquaman1. Dunno how you separate Chris Nolan from HIS DCEU. Str8 from making TDKR Chris Nolan went to WB with his plans for Superman & it INCLUDED Watchman direct Zack Snyder. Also BvS made $890 MILLION dollars during its theatrical run & was Zack Snyders 2nd DCEU film against the stiff competition of Marvels CIVIL WAR introducting Spider-Man. Google that you knuckle dragger!😂 While Supergirl TANKED & the veil was lifted from Gunns "MID" Superman movie (L1,R2,X,O,O😂😂😂😂}

@KalSonOfEl

An executive producer is not a CEO, lmao. The most hands-on he was with any of the movies was Man of Steel. His credit on BvS and ZSJL were purely because of that movie. 😂

If you could find me any interviews of him promoting BvS or ZSJL I’ll send you $500. He wasn’t even involved in the bit with Aquaman or Wonder Woman. You’re retarded, virgin ass can’t even get facts right.

“Also BvS made $890 MILLION dollars during its theatrical run & was Zack Snyders 2nd DCEU film against the stiff competition of Marvels CIVIL WAR introducting Spider-Man.”

It made 500 mil opening weekend and dropped like a [frick]ing rock. Look up the box office drops of the movie. It couldn’t even break a 2x multiplier. And Civil War didn’t come out until 45 days after BvS you [frick]ing retard 🤣

Keep it coming dude. You don’t know how entertaining this is for me. I’m watching a virgin lose his mind in real time - over superhero comic book movies of all things.
