Eventually, they'll hire a Feige-esque producer who has the intelligence to get a group of writers and directors together, show them a reel of clips from the 90s DCAU and say, "We're going to do this. But in live action."
Knowing who to hire is a underrated skill

For a moment I really thought this was going to be another Green Arrow TV series from Greg Berlanti, but on HBO.

I still find it pretty amusing that The Joker was once Superboy

Superboy was great when I was a kid, I've never revisited it outside a couple episodes I had on tape but still haven't seen those in a really long time, dunno if I'd want to watch it again, imagine nostalgia would save it. Especially with the low budget nature of it.

Have you seen Doom Patrol? If it's not on CW and has no ties to any CW show it's not going to be "CW style".

Also the guy who gave us Doom Patrol and Titans
While not quite as good as those two shows, Black Lightning's pretty great too.

I think those ended up good despite Berlanti and because of the main staff involved. So hopefully its a similar situation with Lantern.
Riiight. "Those don't count because reasons." List wars logic strikes again.

If Titans and Doom Patrol are any indication, I'm in for Green Lantern and all those other rumoured DCU/HBO Max shows. Hopefully Netflix picks up the international distribution for most of them though because it doesn't sound like the morons at WB have any interest in expanding their services worldwide.

Don't even know the budget and there's already budget complaints.

It's an HBO TV show about a c-list character that had an unintentionally hilarious bomb within recent memory. I am not trying to be testy but I don't think it's a stretch to assume HBO/Warner isn't planning to throw money at this thing if it gets off the ground.

Horrible idea. Green Lantern is not easy to adapt and demands a huge budget to even be good. And they're going to space with it? From the arrowverse guy? Not expecting anything good to come out of it but would be glad if they proved me wrong

At the very least you will see DCU budget. I'd probably go with the swamp thing budget because it's a pet project from the guy that is the heart of dc tv. From what I've seen, i have faith that he can pull it off. Besides since it's being tethered to hbomax, they should have more to work with.

Yes from the same guy that gave us one of the best comic book shows ever.

They've basically said they can't do Diggle-GL but they would if they could and this explains why

Well, first of all it's an HBOMAX original, not and HBO show(there's a difference). And with how much money Disney is spending on Star Wars and Marvel shows, I don't think we have to worry about budget problems anymore.

Berlanti produces a lot more than just the Arrowverse shows. Dude's a production juggernaut.

If this gets made I hope you're right. The thought of a budget Green Lantern show does not sound appealing.
