In episode 3 of HBO’s Lanterns, John Stewart’s backstory is explored through a flashback to his interview with a Guardian of the Universe played by Laura Linney. The scene takes place in an abandoned mall and includes a subtle reference to Janus Cosmetics, linking to Batman villain Roman Sionis, also known as Black Mask.
The Easter egg may also tease the upcoming debut of Clayface later this year. The episode balances character development with wider DC Universe connections.
