‘Lanterns’ Set Photos Bring The Green Lantern Corps To America’s Heartland

The Lanterns is really getting grounded! Set photos from the upcoming Green Lantern series bring the DC Universe into the world of rural Americana.

Not only since it seems to be the first project in over a decade to give the Green Lantern Corps any respect in an official capacity, but because it’s taking the otherwise cosmic characters and bringing them into the extremely grounded setting of rural America. However, a lesser but still valid concern is that Lanterns would simply use small-town America as window dressing, leaning into tired tropes instead of making the heartland a living, breathing part of the DC Universe. While the duo isn’t exactly going to a Fleet Farm during their journey, there are enough recognizable staples from the midwest that shows those working on the series are committed to representing the area well.
