HBO’s Lanterns Just Revealed a Major Finale Detail

By the end of HBO's Lanterns, fans didn't get to see John Stewart wield the full might of his new power ring. We didn't even get to see him suit up like Hal Jordan did. Those are both events fans will likely have to wait to see in James Gunn's Man of Tomorrow, which is confirmed to include Aaron Pierre returning as Earth's unofficial Green Lantern.

HBO's season finale did, however, give us a good look at John's unique new lantern, and now we know what it's called.

To celebrate the end of season 1, series concept artist Ed Natividad posted renders of the new power battery on Instagram. These not only give us the best look at the object we've gotten so far, but also reveal that it has been dubbed the Dark Lantern. That's a pretty ominous name for something that a hero wields, but it does feel in line with where the show leaves John. As revealed in the season finale, the power battery (also called a lantern) was forged by Sinestro on an alien planet using the contaminated air and water. This pollution appears as yellow streaks of concentrated fear all over John's new power battery.

Thematically, this is the culmination of John's journey to accept his own fear and see it as a strength rather than a weakness. Of course, in the comics, fear manifests as the power wielded by the Sinestro Corps. There is some speculation that the inclusion of fear in the power battery could lead John to become the DC Universe's version of a yellow lantern, just less evil (hopefully).
