Lanterns 1x01 - "Pilot" Review

 

Listen to "Lanterns 1x01 - "Pilot" Review" on Spreaker.

We're back and ready to dive into the series premiere of HBO’s Lanterns!

We discuss episode 1x01, “Pilot,” from Hal and John’s uneasy partnership, the show’s grounded True Detective-inspired approach, the Green Lantern mythology changes of James Gunn’s DCU, our favorite moments, and what didn’t work for us, to that massive ending that changes everything (or did it? Theories abound, friends)!

Is Lanterns the Green Lantern adaptation we’ve been waiting for?

Sound off at dconscreen@gmail.com, and we'll talk about it next week!

SPOILER WARNING: We discuss the entire episode and speculate about where the mystery could be heading.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #462 - Bonus: Black Lightning 1x01 - The Resurrection (Series Premiere) | Review

We love Black Lightning!  The city of Freeland has taken a somewhat dystopian vibe, and when Principal Jefferson Pierce's daughters are kidnapped by the 100 (a pretty rotten gang), he must come out of retirement to kick some ass!  From the gritty locales to the earnest tones, this show out-performs every CW show that has come before it (and in the ratings, too)!  The stakes are high, and there's a lot to be unpacked in the coming episodes, but Black Lightning is (so far) as solid a ride as you'll have from the CW.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #312 Powerless 1x01 - Wayne or Lose | Recap & Review

Emily is late for her new job at Wayne Security when a battle between Crimson Fox and jack O Lantern derails her train.  She seems to be the only person interested as people in Charm City see this kind of thing every day.  Emily once had a monotonous job at an insurance company in a fly-over state (a state where superheroes fly over but never stop).  Now she's off to make a difference in an office with a bunch of quirky inventors who are quirky and make products like the Joker anti-venom epipen. Except, none of their ideas are very good, and neither are the bosses Bruce Wayne's cousin Van has hired to corral and inspire these people. Emily is the latest in a long line.  Oh, and Van? Hoping to leave the taint that is Charm City.  He gets his chance when his batty cousin gives him a call and tells him Wayne Security is closing down. Van is excited to learn he'll get his chance to be absorbed into the Gotham office until Emily does her job and introduces a supervillain detection device that Bruce loves.  Bruce keeps everyone aboard, Van is stuck in Charm City, and Emily has won the respect of her colleagues.
