Lanterns by The Upstairs Lounge

Welcome to Lanterns, by The Upstairs Lounge. The home of deep-dive analysis, thematic breakdowns and scene-by-scene discussion of DC Studios’ Lanterns.

Described as Green Lantern meets True Detective, and developed by a creative team including Damon Lindelof, Lanterns brings Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner and the wider Green Lantern mythology into a very different kind of DC story.

Rather than simply recapping what happens, I dig into the question underneath every scene: what does it all mean? Each episode explores character psychology, hidden themes, visual storytelling, and more.
