DC Studios held a presentation on their upcoming TV series at San Diego Comic-Con yesterday. Many writers have contributed to its creation, including current Wonder Woman comic writer, Tom King. If you haven't seen it yet, the trailer looks terrific. But how will Lanterns portray these intergalactic protectors of Sector 2814? And how will the TV series help shape the DC Cinematic Universe?
Here's all the info from DC Studios:

On the bus ride back from the convention center yesterday, the gentleman seated next to me showed me one of his purchases: a replica power ring from the Lanterns TV series. They may not be able to summon a hard light construct. Still, they do look powerful.
