And here's a look back at our image gallery heading into the kick-off of SDCC:

From Thursday, July 23rd, through Saturday, July 25th, HBO Max will invite fans to prove their fearlessness at the "Lanterns Training Headquarters" experience. Inspired by the setting of Rushville, Nebraska, the activation unfolds as a guided training journey where fans will receive a briefing from the Guardians and will be evaluated through a series of interactive challenges designed to reveal if they have what it takes to wear the ring. Along the way, guests will move through hands-on experiences including target practice, trust-based challenges, maze navigation, and escape‑room style mystery scenarios set within in‑world environments like a Sheriff's office and dive bar. The experience culminates for trainees with a custom Green Lantern ring to take home, an opportunity to simulate using a Green Lantern ring on a Snapchat powered interactive mirror and the opportunity to purchase exclusive Lanterns merch from Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products.
