Who Killed Hal Jordan? Lanterns Fans Think They’ve Found His Killer

Lanterns fans think they’ve already cracked Hal Jordan’s murder mystery with three episodes still to go. After Episode 6 revealed the tragic details of his final days, viewers are debating which character had the motive and opportunity to kill him.

Lanterns fans pick who could have killed Hal Jordan

HBO’s Lanterns Episode 6 jumped forward to 2026 and revealed Hal Jordan’s (Kyle Chandler) tragic fate after a 10-year time skip.

The episode showed that Hal served a decade-long prison sentence after taking the fall for Rushville’s destruction. He returned to the town, started a relationship with Sheriff Kerry (Kelly Macdonald), and died just hours after reuniting with John Stewart (Aaron Pierre).

Fans now debate who killed Hal, with several suspects emerging from the episode’s clues. One user predicted, “Noah killed Hal Jordan…football field, didn’t fight back, split up his family and his city…idk he has a good reason.”

Another user echoed the Noah theory, writing, “With Noah being so prominent and talking about purpose with John, he’s gotta be a secret Manhunter who couldn’t fight his programming and killed Hal.”

The episode strongly hinted that Sinestro (Ulrich Thomsen) could be responsible after Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion) revealed Sinestro escaped his prison on Oa. However, many fans find that answer too obvious for the show’s storytelling style. One user noted, “That ep REALLY wants us to think Sinestro is the one who killed Hal after escaping, but it feels too straightforward for Lanterns.”

Other fans pointed to Rushville residents as potential culprits since Hal’s neighbors openly despised him. One user theorized Maggie could be the killer, writing, “The only person I can think of who would know where Hal was that night is Maggie!” The same user questioned the Rushville angle, adding, “If rushville wanted him dead they would’ve done so ages ago.”

John also discovered a mysterious memory cube in Hal’s storage unit that only Hal’s voiceprint can unlock. He secured Hal’s old Green Lantern ring to retrieve a “Halogram,” setting the stage for the final three episodes to unravel the murder mystery.
