HBO Max Series ‘Green Lantern:' Lee Toland Krieger To Direct First Two Episodes

[Outsiders]

Director Lee Toland Krieger of The CW's 'Superman & Lois' and 'Riverdale' episodes will be directing the first two episodes of Green Lantern, HBO Max’s upcoming series based on the DC characters., from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Green Lantern reinvents the classic DC property through a story spanning decades and galaxies, beginning on Earth in 1941 with the very first Green Lantern, secretly gay FBI agent Alan Scott (Irvine), and 1984, with cocky alpha male Guy Gardner (Wittrock) and half-alien Bree Jarta. They’ll be joined by a multitude of other Lanterns — from comic book favorites to never-before-seen heroes.

The series is being written by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Seth Grahame-Smith. Berlanti, Guggenheim and Grahame-Smith executive produce with Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter, David Madden and David Katzenberg; Elizabeth Hunter and Sara Saedi co-executive produce.

this does not give me hope

Superman and Lois isn’t too bad even tho I don’t care much for concept they went with. If Green Lantern can bring the level of Doom patrol show along with higher budget action it could work pretty good in theory, and if it’s in the  DCEU  that can be give us additional interest so DC has something to answer Disney+ marvel shows, unless they will wait how well it’s received and decide after if it is indeed the same universe. Although I would find more interesting to watch how  conservative Alan struggles to accept his son’s (Obsidian) homosexuality like it was in comics than this modern update.

A high budget, maybe, but this isn't going to come even close to the level of quality, fun, and intelligence of Doom Patrol for three main reasons: Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Seth Grahame-Smith.
