Fans theorize entire town is Manhunter in new DC series 'Lanterns'

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The second episode of the DC series "Lanterns" introduces the mystery of a Manhunter hiding within the town of Rushville, Nebraska. While initially believed to be a single robot, a new fan theory suggests the entire town may be comprised of Manhunters. Evidence for this theory includes an inexplicably empty hospital, suspicious technology at Macon's ranch potentially creating more Manhunters, and the potential involvement of Lex Luthor as a benefactor due to his anti-alien sentiments. The theory posits that the townspeople are all Manhunters, with Sheriff Kane being a recent transplant unaware of the situation, or possibly even the Manhunter herself. AI
