How Lanterns Finale Teases DCU Justice League Movie
Kerry kills Hal to protect Noah, and John rejects the Guardians’ orders as he takes control of Earth’s Green Lantern role.
- On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the Lanterns season finale revealed that Sheriff Kerry Kane killed Hal Jordan to protect her son Noah Macon, a secret Manhunter; John Stewart then claimed the Green Lantern mantle as Earth's protector.
- Hal Jordan discovered Macon's Manhunter nature and urged Kane to flee the Guardians; fearing exposure, Kane shot Jordan in panic, ending the romance that began after his release from a 10-year prison sentence.
- On Antaan's planet, Sinestro forged a yellow-streaked lantern using fear-inducing gas from the contaminated world; Stewart later reclaimed this weapon to charge his ring with a custom oath embracing fear rather than fearlessness.
- Stewart designated himself an 'independent contractor' Green Lantern, informing Guy Gardner that he will protect Earth while Gardner monitors Space Sector 2814, effectively splitting jurisdictional duties between the two heroes.
- Although HBO has not announced a second season, actor Aaron Pierre will reprise his role as Stewart in the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, continuing the DC Universe story on July 9, 2027.
