The first trailer for HBO and DC’s Green Lantern TV series Lanterns will send the seasoned Oa enthusiast spiraling in a number of lore-fueled directions. Why doesn’t Hal glow green when he takes flight for a split second? Will this gritty True Detective-esque cop show eventually feature a cameo from Ch’p, guardian of the planet H’lven? Does Hal Jordan’s claim that he is the only human member of the Green Lantern Corps imply that Guy Gardner, previously seen in Superman, is non-human or does the show take place in the past, before Gardner has yet to hit the scene?
