HBO\u2019s Lanterns<\/a><\/em> is now two episodes in, and \u201cTrust Fall\u201d slips in a pretty big change to Green Lantern lore. During the episode, trainee John Stewart creates a hard-light bird construct<\/strong> that keeps flying even after he takes off his power ring. Under the usual Green Lantern rules, that shouldn\u2019t happen. Constructs are supposed to disappear once the user loses focus, removes the ring, or runs out of charge.<\/p>\n

The moment comes during a training session with Hal Jordan, and the show goes out of its way to tell you this isn\u2019t standard Green Lantern stuff<\/strong>. Hal is caught off guard. Sinestro flat-out describes it as an advanced, highly unusual ability. So the scene doesn\u2019t play like a bit of visual style for TV. It reads as John doing something most Lanterns simply can\u2019t. That shifts the canon a little, too, because comic-book John Stewart has usually been defined by discipline, precision, and solid, carefully engineered constructs shaped by his Marine and architect background. His strength has generally come from skill and control, not from bending the usual rules.<\/p>\n\n

Since HBO\u2019s Lanterns<\/em> gives John this ability while he\u2019s still a trainee, it\u2019s easy to read it as something innate. And that\u2019s already sparked speculation that he may be some kind of chosen-one figure<\/strong>, or at least a key piece of the larger mystery the show is building toward. If you follow DC lore, keep an eye on this one. You can stream Lanterns<\/em> on Max<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
