AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
Marc Guggenheim has shared new concept art from Emerald Knights, a canceled Green Lantern project that was once in development at HBO. The images show a larger team of Lanterns in a battle against alien enemies, giving fans their clearest look yet at the never-made series.
The proposed show would have centered on Guy Gardner and an original character named Bree Jarta. It also appears to have included characters like Kilowog and possibly Sinestro, with concept designs that drew some visual comparisons to Finn Wittrock and Janelle Monáe.
Emerald Knights and HBO’s Lanterns shared some big story ideas. Both were set across different time periods, with Gardner in the 1980s and Alan Scott in the 1940s. Both also featured the Manhunters as the main villains instead of Sinestro.
The project was commissioned in 2020, but it fell apart around 2022 during a rough period for Warner Bros. DC plans. James Gunn later took over DC’s Green Lantern direction, leading to the version that exists now.
