HBO's Lanterns Set to Dethrone The Boys Era

For years, Amazon Prime's The Boys has basically owned the adult-oriented superhero TV space. HBO's about to challenge that with Lanterns, and the article makes a compelling case that the new series could claim the crown. The Boys raised the bar for grimy, morally complex superhero content, so Lanterns has big shoes to fill. If HBO's execution matches the ambition of bringing Green Lantern mythology to prestige television, they might actually pull it off. Streaming wars just got interesting again.
