Few DC characters have longer or more storied histories than Green Lantern, who dates all the way back to 1940 in his earliest form. Besides a period in the 1950s, when superhero comics in general hit a low ebb in popularity, he’s rarely been out of print in the 80 years since. But unlike GL’s colleagues in the Justice League like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, he’s never had a live-action adaptation that captured the things that madehis comic so beloved to generations of readers. There was Ryan Reynolds’Green Lanternfilm from 2011, of course, but that movie was only beloved in the Bizarro universe, and it captured little of what people who loveGreen Lanterncomics (this writer included) enjoyed about the character.

After only one episode, it’s still very early. But so far,Lanterns has the makings of finally beingthe thing that gets live-action Green Lantern right. Admittedly, the series’ pilot seems a littlebashful aboutits own superheroic premise; neither lead character appears in any sort of costume for more than a couple seconds, and the pilot is much closer in tone to a detective story or police procedural thana sci-fiadventure about a spacefaringwarrior.

Every Green Lantern is essentially a cop, albeit onewho patrols a sector of outer space and wears a green ring that can conjure anything itsownerwills into existence. Using the concept to make a gritty, adult crime drama for HBO Max makes a certain amount of sense.

The first episode ofLaterns takes place in multiple time periods, and introduces the most famous Green Lantern, Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) as a cynical, battle-hardened veteran of decades of successful campaigns to save our world and others. With Hal getting up there in years, he’s been tasked with trainingan understudy who can take over in the event he’s ever incapacitated. That’s John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) a former Marine sniper whorespects his new mentor’s experience, but has little patience for his sarcastic attitude and showboating.

Series co-creator Damon Lindelof (Lost,Watchmen) knows a thing or two about creating and judiciously parceling outpuzzles across a TV series, and inits first hourLanterns definitely delivers in that regard.

The pilot, directed by James Hawes (Slow Horses) does a nice job of dropping the viewer right into the middle ofits fast-moving riddles, parceling out the absolute minimum of information about Hal’s history as a Green Lantern and the way he fits into the broader DC Universe. At times, that left me with a lot of questions about the character; he seems to be a massive celebrity, butonly some of the people he meets treat him that way.

The disastrousGreen Lantern movie was big and loud, withgarish aliens, lots of broad humor, and Peter Sarsgaard as a manwith a giant testicle growing out of his forehead which, if nothing else, was certainly a ballsy approach for a big blockbuster intended for a mainstream audience.

Part of what makesGreen Lantern such a fun comic is the juxtapositiion of its relatively ordinary hero and their place in this large-scale cosmology of strange extraterrestrials and unfamiliar worlds. But it is also a book rooted in policing and partnerships, and that stuffLanternshas already nailed. The competition is pretty meager, and the sample size is small, but it’s alreadyoff to asolid start along the way to becoming the best live-action Green Lantern ever.
