DC Legend Grant Morrison Criticizes ‘Morally and Legally Incoherent’ Lanterns Finale
DC Comics veteran Grant Morrison shared a detailed critique of the HBO series Lanterns, calling its finale “morally and legally incoherent” while acknowledging that the show overall “worked.” Morrison, known for writing The Green Lantern, Doom Patrol, and numerous other acclaimed comic titles, posted his review on his Substack newsletter with decidedly mixed feelings about the new DCU television entry.
In his analysis, Morrison noted that he fell asleep during episodes 6 and 7—not because the show was boring, but because he found watching television to be a relaxing experience. The veteran writer’s critical perspective on the show’s finale suggests narrative or logical inconsistencies that troubled him from both moral and legal frameworks, though the full scope of his criticisms was not detailed in available excerpts.
