Lanterns Season 1 finale reveals Hal Jordan's killer

Now that Lanterns has pulled "Game of Thrones finale" level viewership every week, are the powers that be finally ready to admit that black superheroes deserve the spotlight?

Lanterns was one of the best seasons of “superhero” TV we’ve ever seen. Completely enthralled from start to finish.

There's a hilarious opportunity now to recreate this scene in an upcoming DCU Film. #Lanterns @jamesgunn.bsky.social

Anyone else finished Lanterns!? one of my fav DC projects and fav tv shows in a whileee :) #lanterns #hbo

(lanterns s1 finale spoilers) really good finale, glad it focused on the character drama over action, but it is a bit of a copout to not give john a costume. though maybe it was really an act of mercy to not give john a suit from whoever designed hal's and let the man of tomorrow crew handle it

#Lanterns has inspired me to want to coin a phase. And I’m gonna do it the best way possible. By stealing from the Simpsons. In s19 e7 Alan Moore says to Bart “So you like that I made your favorite superhero a heroin addicted jazz critic, who’s not radioactive?” That’s what Lanterns feels like.

#Lanterns is a perfect example of why you can’t let expectations dictate the final experience. I’m a massive GL fan, went in with certain hopes, and had theories as the show progressed. It may not have been the show I *thought* I wanted, but it’s what I needed and all the more wonderful for it.

LANTERNS finale: This show started strong and I love the chemistry between Chandler and Pierre but otherwise, this has sadly been a slog for me. Virtually every “reveal” in the show has come out of nowhere with no buildup (making every mystery totally unsatisfying)…

Thought the Lanterns finale was a frustrating look at what the season could have been. Pierre and Chandler are dynamos, almost fully selling the idea that the show was about something I’m not fully convinced it was really about

For its season if not series finale, LANTERNS stuck the landing on the emotional truths & gave John Stewart a satisfying origin tale, but the story doesn't make a lot of sense when you look at it for more than a minute. Our recap: tomandlorenzo.com/2026/10/lant...

That Lanterns finale ruled What a great season, absolutely killer work

Lanterns Finale -spoilers Review 1: short Review 2: longer more detailed Overall: The series delivered excellent world building, character arcs, writing, directing, & especially acting. The next DCU projects will benefit from this show’s excellence

The LANTERNS season finale was solid, but I have to admit, the final shot threw me for a loop...

Now that it's wrapped: #Lanterns really did the business in the best way. Ridiculously good ensemble cast that works even better in retrospect knowing the whole story, said story handled/paced well, and ending with a calm, quiet but utterly tension wracked final episode was the absolute move.

It's the season finale of LANTERNS and we got some thoughts! Did the change in episode order hurt the ending? Was information withheld so it can be explored in season 2? Or did the writers just sort of handwave a lot of stuff that needed more explanation? www.patreon.com/cinemasangha...
