Lanterns creator says realism was "totally the goal" for the gritty new superhero drama because they're "trying to tell a real story"
Showrunner Chris Mundy discusses the goal of realism in the new DC superhero drama Lanterns, aiming to create a grounded murder mystery that suspends disbelief. He explains the intentionality behind depicting fantastical elements like flying and charging the Green Lantern ring in a way that feels plausible within the show's world. The series, which stars Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart, is noted for its darker themes and tonally distinct approach within the DC Universe.
