Green Lantern Will Realize The Arrowverse’s Full Potential

HBO Max’s Green Lantern series will be able to realize the Emerald Knight’s fullest potential by not being a traditional Arrowverse series. With WarnerMedia focusing its DC TV content on another platform, bigger DC properties are now able to come to life due to HBO Max’s resources. The CW has since 2012 been the primary destination for DC’s characters to board the small-screen through the creation of the Arrowverse. The franchise has gotten more recognition, especially in light of Crisis on Infinite Earths that consolidated every DC live-action property into a shared Multiverse. Green Lantern was even revealed to be set in the newly formed Multiverse by taking place on Earth-12.

Throughout the Arrowverse’s run, the Green Lantern mythology has been teased over and over again on the various shows. The last season even went as far as teasing John Diggle’s future as a Lantern in the Arrow series finale. Despite the multiple references, nods, and Easter eggs, the Emerald Knight has never made it to The CW (except through the references of Alan Scott on Stargirl). While it’s not an Arrowverse spinoff per se, it’s Arrowverse-adjacent at the very least. For unknown reasons, The CW just doesn’t seem to have permission to utilize the Green Lantern universe on any of their shows. While it may have been due to the Green Lantern Corps film, it’s looking more and more to be connected to the nature of Greg Berlanti’s Arrowverse.

Bringing Green Lantern to HBO Max is the best outcome for the upcoming series because of the simple fact that the WarnerMedia streaming platform is the more suitable place. Green Lantern, unlike The CW shows, isn’t going for a full 22-episode order, as the series pick-up came with a 10-episode run for Green Lantern season 1. The format will be completely different in comparison to something like The Flash, Black Lightning, and Batwoman. Through the official series outline, Green Lantern will go through “a saga spanning decades and galaxies,” suggesting multiple storylines being told at various points in time, particularly with Alan being Earth’s first Emerald Knight.

It’ll also be a new chapter for DC and Warner Bros. to explore a series in a non-serialized format, given that most of their current shows follow that structure. While The CW’s DC TV shows have been able to produce impressive special effects and action sequences on a network budget, it would not have been enough for Green Lantern had the show gone to that network. As seen with multiple streaming services from studios, their budget is on a whole different level from a 10-hour series feels like a movie — not to mention the different pacing required for a show with commercial breaks. The level of story writing and special effects expected from an HBO show is simply not possible for a show like Supergirl that has over 20 episodes every season.

Even though the Arrowverse has done some of the groundwork for Green Lantern to have his presence on The CW, HBO Max is where the series will be best utilized. While the network shows have a solid following, the amount of resources that are being put into Green Lantern indicates how far the studio is hoping for it to go. This is going to be the biggest DC TV series that Warner Bros. has ever made due to all the Green Lantern characters that’ll be featured and the fact that it’s one of DC Comics’ most high-level science-fiction franchises ever created. Given Berlanti and Arrow co-creator Marc Guggenheim’s involvement, it’ll still have an Arrowverse vibe about it — but by utilizing HBO Max’s resources, the franchise will be able to realize its ultimate potential through Green Lantern.
