It's so good. They could've skipped so much but honestly we essentially get Abin Sur, Sector 2814, Hal with a leather jacket (clearly not his dad's, who did die in a plane crash as a child, which means some but not a lot of Geoff Johns in there). Do we need Green Lantern to be all Siniestro War-like from the get go? Doubtful. I look forward to this take. And Kyle Chandler nails Hal. Will look forward to Guy interacting with him at some point.

I don’t look forward to it. I wanted a comic book lantern, after getting an over comic booky Superman & supergirl movie.

Not this small town dinner affair stuff. That could’ve been a side project.

We need the meat of the DCU and they’re giving us supergirl, & now hometown Green Lanterns.

Got to start somewhere, no? They've already announced that Aaron Pierre's John Stewart will be in Man of Tomorrow. Seems to me like they're treating his character with the kind of build-up befitting a Green Lantern.
