"“We wanted to tell an on-the-ground story, and that has a couple of different mysteries inside of it,” Mundy said. “What we have going for us is that it's a Green Lantern story. They can conjure anything from the ring. They do go off the planet. There are all these other powers that they have. We wanna use everything that's great about the mythology of the Green Lanterns, but at the same time, we wanted it to feel like an upscale mystery, a very emotionally tangible story about these people that are in it.”"
"But there are actually two mysteries at the core of this series. One plotline is set in 2016 after a shooting in rural Nebraska, but another is set ten years later in 2026, bringing the story up to date. Through these flash forwards, we also get a glimpse at how the DC Universe will evolve, including an appearance by Guy Gardner, the bowl-cutted Green Lantern who appeared in Superman."
Lanterns follows two members of the Green Lantern Corps investigating a mystery on Earth. The series is framed as an on-the-ground story with multiple mysteries, using the ring’s abilities and other powers while keeping the tone emotionally tangible. A core element is a dual-timeline structure. One plotline takes place in 2016 after a shooting in rural Nebraska, while another occurs ten years later in 2026. The later timeline provides a view of how the DC Universe evolves. Guy Gardner appears, connecting the story to the broader Green Lantern presence seen in Superman.
