Sinestro is finally here, John Stewart just demonstrated how powerful he could become, and the mystery surrounding the Manhunters is getting much bigger.
Aaron and Brash break down Lanterns Episode 2, “Trust Fall,” exploring Sinestro’s long-awaited arrival, his complicated history with Hal Jordan, John Stewart’s incredible Green Lantern construct, and the growing possibility that neither Hal nor John can completely trust the Guardians.
We also dive deep into our biggest Lanterns theories. Who is the Manhunter hiding in Rushville? What did Abin Sur really tell Hal? Could Sinestro be manipulating his former student? And are characters like William McCain, Zoe and Anton secretly setting up the wider Emotional Spectrum, Red Lanterns, Black Hand and even Blackest Night?
Most importantly, Episode 2 begins changing the relationship between Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Despite Hal’s unconventional mentorship and John’s frustration, “Trust Fall” may mark the moment these two Green Lanterns finally begin trusting each other.
