    Why Lanterns Episode 3 Is The Best Sign Yet For The Future Of The DC Universe - TVLine (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    These days, just about all we ever hear about superhero movies and TV shows is how they're screwed. Marvel can shush the fatigue discourse with a ludicrously successful "Spider-Man" film roughly once every decade, but the DCU doesn't have that option.
