While reading GREEN LANTERN #3 I was thinking about Hal, Sinestro, and Batman. And then it hit me like a power ring construct of a giant green boxing glove:

Hal Jordan doesn't like Batman because Batman reminds him too much of Sinestro.

Any validity to this theory? Maybe Geoff Johns is just writing Sinestro to sound as Batman would at his most Batdickish.

I have to agree that 'can do no wrong Hal' is bad, but 'can do no right Hal' is even worse. If Sinestro knew all these tricks and powers and such to do with the ring and Hal doesn't, that's the corps fault, not Hal's. I mean, he spent years with other members of the Corps beside Sinestro.

This also looks like it's suggesting Dragonball Z levels of power-creep for the Lantersn, who are already super-powerful magic wishing-ring bearing intergalactic policemen. I realize the plots never let them actually be any more effective at being space-cops than Reed Richards can be at solving cancer or even curing his friends radiation-based disfigurement, but STILL.

Why on earth would anyone want to read about this guy? I just don't get why I am suppose to care about this version of Hal Jordan. Especially when I could be reading about Guy, John, or Kyle.

I would read a comic about Hal Jordan getting punched in the face. Repeatedly.

It's more than a little crazy how much I detest Hal Jordan. I've only watched Green Lantern: First Flight and the pilot of the Green Lantern Animated Series, and it's just full-on dislike. One decision after another is just irrevocably pointless and stupid and full of *white man-hero exploring the unknown* tropes and..yeah.

He reminds me of a stupider Captain Kirk.

I kept thinking of Captain Hammer, personally. Except played straight.

Apparently Nathan Fillion's mock audition for GL is a sight to behold.

I've seen this trailer. Don't think I've seen what you're talking about, tho.

Neither have I, but it's something that IIRC Joss Whedon commented on at a scifi convention and Nathan apparently just sometimes performs when the mood takes him at conventions.

If it's not true, it SHOULD be!

All the exgirlfriends ever, teaming up.

Though it's only 'power-creep' by downgrading Hal so he can get back to where he was.

I mean, I'm pretty sure he's used tricks like this before! I *know* Kyle has.
