Nathan Fillion is bringing his "jerk" with the bowl cut, Guy Gardner, to Lanterns

“He’s a jerk!” Fillion previously told EW. However, that’s not a prime motivator for being in the Green Lantern Corps or any corps, aside from maybe (maybe) the Peace Corps (but even then, you have to be peaceful, not nice). Fillion says, “What’s important to know is you don’t have to be good to be a Green Lantern; you just have to be fearless.” To Fillion, “Guy Gardner is fearless, and he is not very good,” which explains the bowl cut. He’d have to be fearless and rude to his barber to get stuck with that thing. But it’s worked for Fillion, who calls playing a jerk like Gardner “very freeing as an actor because you just think to yourself, what is the most selfish, self-serving thing I can do in this moment? And that’s the answer.”

To those asking what True Detective has to do with a Green Lantern show, we have an answer. The show centers on a rookie Lantern, John Stewart (Aaron Piere), and a veteran, Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler), investigating a murder in the American heartland. If you think about it, rings are a flat circle, too.

Lanterns doesn’t have a premiere date yet. However, everything within Warner Bros. hinges on Superman‘s success, so we’ll see what happens with Lanterns the closer we get to July 11, when Krypton explodes, and we see if anyone is willing to pay money to see Superman.
