Positive Points

The most significant strength of the trailer is its mature and realistic tone. Rather than relying on cosmic visual effects, the series will feel (to the average viewer) like a psychological thriller combined with a police drama. As Hal Jordan, Kyle Chandler brings an aura of authority and intensity to the character, while Aaron Pierre comes across as a strong player in the role of John Stewart (with both emotional depth and physical presence).

Another strong aspect of the overall look/feel of the series is its cinematography and atmosphere as they have created an environment & sound design that is dark and rural in nature creating suspense around how different this is from traditional Superhero television shows. There is an extra sense of quality and excitement created through the smaller glimpses of action in each episode. Finally, these elements combine with the series' storyline being centered around mystery to create a serious tone for long-time DC fans.

Negative Points

Corruption, destruction, and the heightened conflict between both Lanterns' are most likely going to be the main elements being explored along with examining fear, domination, and trust with Stewart either being coerced or compelled to confront Hal as per the trailer. The series is said to have taken place about 10 years later giving an overarching storyline with an emotional connection to the original story.

Overall: This latest teaser for Lanterns is a huge step forward in helping to establish an identity for this series. In addition to fantastic performances, there is also a darker tone and an engaging mystery; which could make this one of the most innovative live-action projects produced by DC. Although there are still questions about the show's pacing and its ties to the DC Universe, this new teaser does an excellent job generating interest and anticipation for the series.
