    Director James Hawes delves into, and clarifies, the comparisons which have popped up between the upcoming DC sequence Lanterns and the hit HBO sequence True Detective. When James Gunn first introduced his DCU plan for what he known as Chapter 1 – Gods and Monsters, he pitched Lanterns as being like True Detective. It actually is not onerous to see the place that comparability comes from, as Lanterns is being offered as a buddy cop sequence the place the cops, right here intergalactic cops, examine a thriller crime within the American heartland.

    James Hawes, who serves as director for the primary two episodes of Lanterns, dug into the tonal inspiration for the sequence whereas selling his newest movie, The Beginner. Hawes instructed The Hollywood Reporter that the sequence has some similarities to True Detective, however the sequence and characters have a bit extra humor to them than True Detective. Hawes cited the work of the Coen brothers, significantly No Nation for Previous Males and Fargo, as inspirations for Lanterns. Hawes stated:

    “Speaking tone, it seems and feels rooted. You meet two guys, however there’s wit and comedy to it that you wouldn’t anticipate in True Detective. It’s, in some ways, a buddy cop construction with journey within the story time, from side to side, that’s actually subtle. [Showrunner] Chris Mundy has accomplished essentially the most superb job with the workforce there, and so I believe [the True Detective comparison] is legitimate. Folks will nonetheless go, ‘What had been you speaking about?’ to some extent, however I’d additionally herald No Nation for Previous Males, Fargo and issues which have that Americana coronary heart to them. There’s a wry humor, and so there positively is extra wit and humor than there’s in True Detective.”

    James Gunn’s preliminary pitch of Lanterns being like True Detective was coupled along with his comparability of the upcoming Marvel Girl prequel sequence, Paradise Misplaced, to Recreation of Thrones. Each True Detective and Recreation of Thrones are HBO sequence, owned by DC Comics’ father or mother firm, Warner Bros. Discovery. Clearly, there was a little bit of cross-promotion, linking two points of Warner Bros. historical past. With The Penguin additionally pulling closely from The Sopranos and rumors circulating that The Righteous Gemstone creators had been at one level engaged on Booster Gold, it seems that DC’s HBO and Max sequence are pulling closely from the corporate’s historical past.

    There actually are followers who’re upset that Lanterns is taking the onerous sci-fi idea of Inexperienced Lantern and grounding it as an Earth-based sequence. But, the concept of taking the True Detective mannequin of getting two vastly completely different cops investigating a case just isn’t a foul pitch for the Inexperienced Lantern idea, given the group is coded as house police. Whereas followers may need needed a extra conventional buddy cop sci-fi journey, Deadly Weapon meets Star Trek, the route that Lanterns goes in already seems like a marked enchancment over the 2011 Inexperienced Lantern movie.

    Lanterns is presently filming in Los Angeles, California, and is anticipated to air on HBO in 2026. It’s projected to debut earlier than Supergirl: Girl of Tomorrow hits theaters on June 26, 2026, suggesting that it might be a spring or early summer time sequence. The 12 months 2026 is when the DCU machine absolutely kicks into overdrive. Along with Lanterns and Supergirl: Girl of Tomorrow, the horror-themed movie Clayface will open in September of that 12 months. Whereas on the floor, Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker Season 2, Lanterns, Supergirl: Girl of Tomorrow, and Clayface make for a seemingly random slate of tasks to kick off a universe, it exhibits the vastly completely different tones and genres these tales can inform. A Inexperienced Lantern sequence that’s half True Detective but in addition half Coen Brothers is a powerful pitch, that is for positive.
