It has been a disappointing time for Inexperienced Lantern followers, particularly in *ahem* gentle of the current affirmation that Lanterns will not be launched on HBO Max in early 2026.
However, to paraphrase the opening of the Inexperienced Lanterns Corps’ oath, brighter days lie forward for the DC Universe (DCU) TV present. And, with a brand new report confirming its first trailer just isn’t solely locked, however has been proven at a behind-closed-doors occasion, it won’t be lengthy till it is launched on-line.
In accordance with respected Brazilian information outlet Omelete, the primary teaser for Lanterns obtained its worldwide premiere at an HBO Max Upfronts presentation yesterday (November 25).

DC comedian ebook followers do not want me to inform them that that is seemingly a reference to Ch’p, an anthropomorphic rodent-like alien who’s additionally a part of the Inexperienced Lantern Corps. If Ch’p finally ends up being a part of proceedings, it might be an ideal addition to James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU, which goes all-in on bringing DC Comics’ weirdest and wackiest creations to life on the large and small screens.
