HBO Max is here to remind you that \u201cLanterns<\/a>\u201d is a superhero show. <\/p>\n

The streamer released a new teaser on Monday for its DC Universe crime drama that offers new glimpses of Hal Jordan\u2019s Green Lantern superpowers as well as a first look at a mysterious character portrayed by Laura Linney. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis ring? It\u2019s the greatest weapon in the universe,\u201d Kyle Chandler\u2019s veteran superhero says to John Stewart, the new Lantern recruit played by Aaron Pierre. \u201cWhen and if to use it, that\u2019s the whole ballgame, Junior.\u201d <\/p>\n

Unlike the show\u2019s first teaser<\/a>, the new clip includes footage of Jordan using his power ring to manifest shields, take flight and even create counterfeit money. In the comics, Green Lanterns are known for their signature rings, which enable their wearers to create anything they can imagine from their energy. <\/p>\n

\u201cPower like that, shouldn\u2019t you have to work for it?\u201d Stewart asks of his mentor. <\/p>\n

Created by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof and Tom King<\/a>, \u201cLanterns\u201d has been touted as a crime thriller involving DC\u2019s well-known pair of intergalactic cops. The series will see the duo drawn into an Earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the Midwest while also navigating a changing of the Lantern guard. <\/p>\n

The new teaser confirms that the show\u2019s cast also includes Linney. While her character\u2018s identity has been kept under wraps, she appears to have a connection to Stewart. The footage also includes a glimpse of Nathan Fillion\u2019s Green Lantern Corps member Guy Gardner, who previously appeared in the DCU film \u201cSuperman<\/a>\u201d (2025) and the second season of HBO Max\u2019s \u201cPeacemaker<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n

The \u201cLanterns\u201d cast also includes Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Jason Ritter, Ulrich Thomsen, J. Alphonse Nicholson and Jasmine Cephas Jones. <\/p>\n

\u201cLanterns\u201d will premiere Aug. 16 on HBO and HBO Max. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HBO Max is here to remind you that \u201cLanterns\u201d is a superhero show.
