The most likely explanation is that the idea of officially confirming John Diggle as a John Stewart variant may have conflicted with rights issues tied into the long-delayed Green Lantern Corps movie that is still reportedly in production independent of the HBO Max series. While many fans have hoped Diggle might move on to be part of the Green Lantern Corps series, nothing has been confirmed toward that end yet. It is clear that something big is in the works for John Diggle's character, as actor David Ramsey does not seem to have any upcoming projects lined up beyond an appearance in one of the final episodes of Supergirl, which he is also directing. While it may seem like fans of John Diggle and Arrow are being trolled at this point, it is unlikely there is anything more nefarious than bad timing, likely brought about because of the shooting restrictions required by the COVID-19 pandemic. Diggle also told Barry Allen that there was ' something I've been putting off for far too long' that prevented him from staying to aid in The Flash's war with Godspeed. John Diggle went on to make cameo appearances in Batwoman, The Flash and Superman and Lois, which referenced his experiencing odd headaches and dizzy spells, which were affirmed to be caused by some other presence by empath Cecile Horton.

The idea of John Diggle being the Arrowverse variant of John Stewart had been repeatedly teased throughout Arrow's eight seasons, culminating in his discovery of a glowing green object in a box that crashed to Earth in the series finale. This development has angered some Arrow fans, who had hoped to see John Diggle as a Green Lantern. Related: Stargirl: Every JSA Enemy Set Up For Season 2

This technically makes Jennie (who is known as Jade in the comics) the first on-screen Green Lantern in the Arrowverse, as her father was referenced in Stargirl season 1 but never shown in action. By the end of the episode, Jennie had absorbed the lantern's power into herself, having been revealed as a living conduit for the power her father tapped as the Green Lantern. When Jennie put the ring on, it began to glow and guided her to the home of Courtney Whitmore, who had been holding on to the Green Lantern's lantern among other JSA artifacts. The second episode of Stargirl season 2 explored the origins of Jennie an orphan who was kicked out of the orphanage she grew up in with only two bequests from her father, Alan Scott a toy car belonging to her brother, Todd, and an emerald ring shaped like a lantern.
