GREEN LANTERN #3: A theory on Hal, Sinestro and Batman

[starwolf_oakley]

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.

You know, I didn't like the Hal boosting and 'he's the greatest GL' stuff from before, but I'm already getting tired of the 'Hal's a half-trained incompetent,' stuff too.

If it wasn't the same writer I'd assume it was character assassination by a creator handed a character they didn't like.

Geoff Johns loves Anti-Heroes even more than he loves the Silver Agers.

Black Adam, Captain Cold, and Sinestro are his babies just as much as Hal and Barry are.

No argument there, but Hal's not so much an anti-hero as... a hero who's bad at his job?
