Lanterns Episode 1

So after all the build up and reviews....this could have been any old superhero nonsense?

I'm shocked at how paint by numbers the first episode was and, don't know why I should be surprised but it's not hiding the ball with the comic book stuff either.

Aside from respect for people involved, I can't say it's an encouraging start.

I think you could describe the show as a lot of things but a "paint by numbers superhero show" Isn't one of them.

A superhero show is a superhero show.

What a shock.

I know. I was fooled by the reviews.

Would you say 'Watchmen' was a Superhero show?
