Lanterns

No explanation has been given as to why this happened, but it means that Supergirl in June will be our next excursion into the DCU.

According to a recent report, it is set to premiere after Supergirl, which launches in June next year.

Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart will be opposing forces in the DCU series.

A buddy cop super hero story with a dash of wit and humor? Sure, we'll take it.

The DC Universe character already has his second cameo lined-up, following debuting in July's Superman.

And James Gunn shares the first photo of John Stewart and Hal Jordan to prove it.

Also, one star describes it as "the best sci-fi script I've ever read."

One of the first major productions in the newly minted DCU is gearing up.

Both in mind and in body, he's getting ready to become a Green Lantern.

The series is also going to be a more grounded story, akin to True Detective.

And it seems like the crew is ready to start shooting very soon.

James Gunn: "After a long and grueling series of auditions I am absolutely sure we've found an incredible John Stewart."

Stephan James is reportedly close to seal the deal.

The role has seemingly gone to Kyle Chandler instead.

The Friday Night Lights actor is seemingly the next favourite to play the superhero last portrayed by Ryan Reynolds.
