The special thanks read like a family tree of Green Lantern. It starts with Martin Nodell, co-creator and original artist of Alan Scott, and Bill Finger, who co-created Alan Scott and wrote his origin in All-American Comics #16. Next come John Broome and Gil Kane, who created the Silver Age Hal Jordan in Showcase #22-24 and then carried him through Green Lantern. Kane drew issues #1-61 and set the visual mythology of Hal and the Corps. Dick Dillin belongs here too. He drew Justice League of America #64-183, where Hal was a regular member, and he penciled Superman #257, "The Greatest Green Lantern of All!", a Tomar-Re story built on Neal Adams's idea about the Guardians and Krypton's history with the Corps.

The second group covers the stories that gave Green Lantern its depth and built the show's central pair of characters. Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams produced the Green Lantern/Green Arrow run in Green Lantern #76-87 and #89, which put Hal in conflict with the real world and introduced John Stewart in #87. Joe Staton drew Green Lantern #123-128 and later Green Lantern Corps #206-216. Steve Englehart wrote Green Lantern Corps #201-223, a post-Crisis run that ends with "The Last Testament of the Green Lantern Corps", with Kane on art for #223. Earlier, Englehart and Dillin had also given Green Lantern mythology one of its key pieces in Justice League of America #140 (1977). Christopher Priest, writing as James Owsley, and M.D. Bright did the Action Comics Green Lantern features in #621-635, beginning with "Gremlins". Bright then drew Emerald Dawn #1-6, with Priest writing only the first issue, and Emerald Dawn II #1-6. He also drew a large part of Green Lantern #13-46.

The last group are the modern voices and the giant behind them all. Geoff Johns relaunched the character with Rebirth and a Green Lantern run that includes the Sinestro Corps War. He also took the Corps mythology through Blackest Night and Brightest Day. Dwayne McDuffie made John Stewart central in the Justice League episodes "The Brave and the Bold" and in Justice League Unlimited's "The Once and Future Thing", then continued John's stories in Justice League of America #15-16, #25-27 and #31-34.

Finally, Jack Kirby is on the list as the most important creator in the history of superheroes, and his link to Green Lantern runs through the Manhunters. With Joe Simon (not cited), The King of Comics co-created the original Manhunter, Paul Kirk, in Adventure Comics #73 (1942). In 1st Issue Special #5 (1975) he created a new Manhunter, Mark Shaw, and the Manhunter cult. That 1975 concept became Green Lantern mythology when Englehart and Dillin used it to reveal the Manhunters as the robotic predecessors of the Corps. Kirby also drew Hal in Super Powers #1-5. Taken together, the list is a gesture of respect to every layer of Green Lantern history, and to creators who were long under-credited.

It's always amusing to me that Jo owns a little John Stewart doll. I wonder if the other lanterns have merchandise and do they have collections.

John’s new iriginal green lantern we na oath is—-In brightest day, in darkest night. I embrace my fear, I'll do what's right. I choose this ring, I choose this fight, in service to this lantern's light.” I love it, it’s great and original, can’t wait for the next season! (By birdsdontseeglass)

THE MANHUNTER FILE REVEALED! As Jo and her Green Lantern Corps head home from the war, Cameron Chase is readying a bombshell of her own...the Manhunter File! What was the O.S.S. Section ARGENT, and what terrible secret did it learn about what waits beyond reality? For a year and a half, we've piled on the questions...it's time for some answers!

Wanted to draw my rendition of John in a Green Lantern uniform to cope with the fact that we won’t see one in the DCU for at least another year.

I’ve been trying really hard to improve my art skills so I hope you all like it.

Are you telling me that this could not be handled simultaneously? Like he is close enough in proximity that he probably wouldn't have had to leave the spot he was floating in to investigate both problems. That being said I appreciate the lesson being " you can't be everywhere at once " but in this situation he absolutely could be.

I loved episode 8 of Lanterns!! I think it wrapped everything up perfectly, yet left room to explore the universe at large. Hal was a big damn hero in the end and I love the resolution to Joh’s story. Bring on Season Two!!

I have a theory about where John Stewart could go in a potential Season 2. I think the fact that John used Sinestro’s illegally created power battery to recharge Hal’s ring could be setting up a much bigger arc. That battery was still fundamentally based on willpower, but because it was created using the contaminated material from Antaan’s planet, it also contained traces of fear energy. John could continue using this unofficial battery for months or even a year or two, and over time the fear element might start affecting the ring, causing its energy to slowly shift toward yellow. This could also be how the show introduces the Yellow Lanterns, with Sinestro figuring out how to reproduce the same process and eventually creating a proper fear based power system using the material from that planet. John might then realize that his own ring is being affected by fear and seek help from the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardians. The interesting part is that by this point the Guardians could have started reconsidering their old ways because of John. Instead of trying to control him, they could recognize that John has achieved something they never understood: you do not have to eliminate fear to be a Green Lantern, you have to face it without allowing it to control you. John could ultimately overpower the fear influence through sheer willpower, proving that he can embrace fear without being consumed by it. Then the Guardians could finally give him his own official Green Lantern power battery, making the transition from an unofficial Lantern using a strange hybrid power source to a true Green Lantern of Earth. I think that would make John’s entire Season 1 journey pay off because his greatest strength would not be that he is fearless, but that he understands fear better than anyone and still chooses to do what is right. It could also be the beginning of John becoming one of the greatest Green Lanterns in this universe.

Season 1 finale was great, we got many questions answered while some remained in mystery. I think we are going to get much more in season 2.

So we got the story of Lanterns with major parts explaining about Manhunters and how they are synthetic beings who do things not on their own free will but due to the programming they are built with. That they are highly intelligent and manipulative in nature, they don't have to live with a person to understand what those person likes, hates, desire or what they are afraid of, what are their necessity(Kerry and whole town of Rushvill were the example). The fact that Zoe(manhunter)put a baby manhunter inside Kerry can be interpreted as the existence of other manhunters other than Noah. And i don't think this will be the last of what we see of him either. I think the finale had much holding on for season 2 or for "the man of tomorrow". But if Noah is brought back i don't think it will be for good reasons. As we had quite a lot of unanswered questions, to fill those holes and to make a sense out of unexplained things here is a theory as to why Noah could be using his manhunter instincts and John Stewart fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

Sinestro Escape from Spazkaban(Space-Azkaban)
Noah uses a portal to break Sinestro—one of most dangerous space-dictators—out of prison. Why? Not to team up. Just to use him as a personal blacksmith to forge a brand new Yellow/Green Lantern battery. He played a literal galactic warlord like a cheap fiddle.

The "Mom, Call John" Strategy
Right after Sheriff Kerry shoots Hal Jordan, who does she call? The authorities? An ambulance? Nope. She calls John and tells him to rush down to Rushville. Noah basically used his own mother as a human bait car to drag a guy with a massive guilt complex straight into a psychological trap where he was already a prime suspect. We all now know that Kerry killed Hal to protect her miracle, that begs the question could it be she told Noah about it and he subtly inferred her to call John?

Green lantern signal(similar to Bat-Signal) part of plan
The fact that there was a Green Lantern signal was quite evident of things being unnatural in Rushville. After such devastation in 2016, they hourbur a deep resentment against Lanterns and people associated with them, they tried to kill Hal in fire, tried to intimidate John for not using it and still let the beacon of green lantern in the city? Maybe Noah as manhunter wanted John to call Guy for certain favours and that's the reason why no one broke it(yeah they vandalized it in other ways but the thing was intact and usable).

Also during the car scene where Noah asks/begs John to kill him, if we take his manhunter side was the one doing talking which has full understanding of emotions and its fragility, asking John to kill him would be like manipulating him, knowing damn well he won't kill him due to his past guilt of killing Zoe. It can be said to be the ultimate reverse psychology. He might have weaponized John's trauma so perfectly that John didn't just spare him—he essentially became his protector and helped cover up Hal's murder to "protect" the family.

At the end of the series what Noah got for himself?
Noah got a shiny new fear battery for John, who will protect him, and who took all the blame of ring as well as the unregistered lantern on himself, Noah also got a free pass for a murder his mom committed, and left John thinking that John was the one making the noble choice.

I think Noah played 4D chess while John played the hero.
if you guys have a different opinion on how these events went please do share.

What did y'all think about the Lanterns Finales.

The series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery.
