Green Lanterns Will Make Or Break The DCU

Superman will introduce the first of its three Green Lanterns, Guy Gardener, to the DCU. That will be followed by the series Lanterns, which features Hal Jordan and John Stewart, the most popular versions of the character.

With Superman scheduled for next summer and Lanterns expected to come out next year as well, that’s a lot of Characters with the same name to frontload into the new universe. 

These characters all bear the same name and energy projection powers as members of the Green Lantern Corps, a group that could be very important to the DCU.

As members of that organization, they’re part of a large interplanetary police force, with their signature power rings serving as their badges. Serving under the immortal Guardians of planet Oa, they’re tasked with keeping the universe safe and maintaining order.
