Lanterns S01E07: "The Jordan Boys' Legacy": Hal's Past Holds The Key
The penultimate episode is titled “The Jordan Boys’ Legacy,” and HBO says it will reveal new truths about Hal Jordan.
- HBO and DC Studios announced the penultimate episode of "Lanterns" is titled "The Jordan Boys' Legacy," with the caption "the past holds the key" hinting at Hal Jordan's pivotal family history.
- Creators Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and Tom King designed this chapter to explore Jordan's painful past and the legacy left by his father, Martin Jordan, rather than advancing the central mystery.
- DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn emphasized Jordan's extensive screen time, stating "Hal's the star of TV series & he's in all the episodes so far," and stressed the hero remains central to the show's popularity.
- Gunn defended the series' creative deviations, arguing that different universes including the DCU and Marvel Comics frequently reinterpret iconic characters rather than follow exact comic trajectories.
- With only one episode remaining until the season finale, the success of the season's structure hinges on how this investigation concludes as viewers await the final chapter.
