Lanterns Season 1 ended with major revelations but also left several mysteries unresolved. Unfortunately, since Season 2 of Lanterns has been canceled, those questions may never receive proper answers.
The October 4 finale finally revealed who killed Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan. We got to know that Sheriff Kerry Kane was responsible for his death and pulled the trigger to protect her son. Meanwhile, John Stewart officially became Earth’s Green Lantern but decided to follow his own rules.
However, the finale was clearly setting up something bigger. Now that a second season is no longer happening, let’s look at five major questions that the series left unanswered.
Did Sinestro Really Bring Hal Jordan Back From The Dead?
Hal Jordan’s death was the central mystery of Lanterns Season 1, and although the finale revealed his killer, it also suggested that his death might not have been permanent. During John’s interrogation of Sinestro, the villain made a surprising claim. He said that he could bring Hal back to life if John gave him Hal’s ring.
However, he warned that charging the ring with his newly created lantern would destroy that possibility forever. John went ahead and charged the ring anyway. The Halogram then said its final goodbye and made it seem like Hal’s story had officially ended. But was Sinestro actually telling the truth?
Was John Stewart’s New Lantern Actually Dangerous?
John Stewart finally became Earth’s Green Lantern in the finale, but his transformation wasn’t exactly what fans might have expected. After confronting Sinestro, John charged his ring with a lantern the villain had created on a planet contaminated with fear toxin.
Unlike an ordinary Green Lantern, this one had yellow cracks running through its green glow. That detail could have been important because, in DC Comics, green represents willpower while yellow represents fear. So, did John unknowingly combine two different sources of power?
How Did Sinestro Create A New Lantern Without His Ring?
Sinestro’s return was another major development in the Season 1 finale. However, the way he created a new lantern remains one of the show’s biggest mysteries. After Noah freed him from prison, he took Sinestro to a dead planet where Zoe had previously wiped out an entire population using her fear toxin.
The planet was still contaminated, with the toxin present in both its air and water. Sinestro somehow used that fear-filled environment to create a completely new lantern for Noah. The result was unusual, with yellow streaks appearing through its green light. But where did Sinestro find the equipment to create it? And how did he manage to forge such a powerful object without having his own ring?
