Lantern: 10 Things You Need To Know About The Newly Announced Green Lantern TV Series
1. There's No Mention Of Geoff Johns
This is definitely something of a shocker.
Prolific comic book writer Geoff Johns has been attached to both this Green Lantern TV series and the long in development Green Lantern Corps movie for what feels like forever, no great surprise given his history with the character on the page (not to mention the fact he spearheaded the popular Stargirl TV series which recently moved to The CW on a permanent basis).
However, Johns has recently been the subject of some serious allegations from Justice League star Ray Fisher, and WarnerMedia - the parent company of Warner Bros. and HBO Max - have been conducting an investigation into the conduct of him, producing partner Jon Berg, and director Joss Whedon.
With that in mind, perhaps it's no great surprise that Johns' name is completely M.I.A. from any and all reports announcing this news, and it will be interesting seeing whether he does ultimately play a role in bringing these characters to the small screen. There's certainly a lot he can contribute, but it may hinge on how that investigation goes...
