Trailer Lanterns | Official Teaser | HBO Max

Often called "Modern Mythology."

There was a somewhat well-known San Diego RPG fan who used to call his APA zine focused on superhero gaming "Gods in Four Colors".

While I can often find Grant Morrison hit or miss, his book "SuperGods" is a pretty good treatise on the place of superheroes in our modern mythology and culture. It is also a mind bending autobiography, but that's Morrison for you.

Did you see his Watchmen? The dude is a bonafide superhero fan. He's not good at making dumb jokes on podcasts, though.

I did. His other superhero show where we get just a tiny sprinkle of the characters people came to see, and instead have to slog through literal hours of 'his own take' on the thing.

I don't know if you read the original Watchmen, but "hang out with the normies while the heavy hitters are off-screen" is 90% of that 12-issue run.

Honestly if there is a problem with the GLC, it's that they have this weird mandate of "7200, only 2 per sector" when you could probably say "It's generally two per sector, but we have more at Oa in specialized jobs and certain sectors sometimes need more Lanterns. Earth is one of those problem spots that seems to always need an extra two or three..."

I would also watch that show.

That show exists. It's called Reacher and it is ridiculously popular.

Female superheroes who who were not sidekicks of or adjacent to male heroes (Batgirl, Supergirl, Hawkgirl) were actually pretty rare at DC in the 60's once you get away from Wonder Woman.

There was a female human Green Lantern late in the day, and some alien ones of some significance (Katma Tui comes particularly to mind) earlier than that.

We have a bunch of female Lanterns now, including several human ones (Jessica Cruz, who was originally "Power Ring", and Sojourner Mullein). We also have Soranik Natu, who became big during the Green Lantern Corps restart, Arisa (who is a problematic classic that could easily have her problems removed), Princess Iolande and Alpha Lantern Boodikka.

The 10 Greatest Female Green Lanterns of All Time

Some of the most iconic characters in the DC comics over the years hailed from Green Lantern Corps, aka DC's intergalactic police force. And while everyone is

There are a few that aren't on that list and I'm not sure why Tangent Green Lantern and Boodikka(sp?) aren't on the list, as they would be two of the most powerful along with Jessica Cruz.

Amazed Soranik Natu is not on that list.

I just want a good story.
The Arrow and The Flash both started well. Sadly, the longer they went on, but more stupid and soap-opera they both became. Sad and depressing.

I think this is more likely to get away from that given that it's both a more contained story and also not on the CW. But I do agree about Flash and Green Arrow.
