i'd still think brainiac should have an advantage over hank henshaw.

Maybe it took time to figure out how to hack that super advanced alien tech??

In Hitch's JLA, some Google type of AI accidentally hacked Baz's ring... :eyeroll:

I just realized that that from the 2019 solicits, a teenager will be able to hack the power ring of the Lanterns.

The Guardians need to upgrade the security features of their "most powerful weapon".

They took all the batteries to do just that at the end of GLs, which seems to line up with the preview page we've seen of TGL where Hal says he doesn't have his battery Bendis did say Teen Lantern was related to what Morrison is doing...

I think he said he has his battery that he carries in a backpack, he just can't use it to charge his ring yet.

About the Teen Lantern concept, a lot of comments were made on how there's too many earth GL's when Simon and Jessica got introduced. Well, the family sure still is growing.

In my opinion that shows huge lack of imagination on DC's part.

They could've just bring back Arisia and have her be a teen lantern in a solo book. Why do we have to have more Earth lanterns?

I would rather Arisia stay how she is now. If they wanted a teen lantern I'll just take Kai-Ro from the Batman Beyond Universe and put him on Earth Prime.

she is not a teen ager

I think Arisia is way past where she could legitimately be depicted as a Teen Lantern, short of a retcon/reboot.

No. That shows writers want to create their own characters, and since they own part of the equity they could make money on them.
Just like Bendis did on Miles Morales.

Bingo.

Taking old characters and reinventing them into something new is something that bit Steve Englehart & Joe Staton in the ass when brought back Guy Gardner in the mid-1980s. Had they simply called him Joe Braindamagovich, instead of explicitly linking him to the prior character from the Silver Age, they'd be getting a cut of all Guy merchandise that always uses their revamped version of him.

Well, Spider-Man can sustain other characters. Green Lantern could barely do so when there were 4 of them. Now there would be 8. I'm not sure that watering down the franchise to such extremes is how creators could make more money. That franchise needs to still be around for them to make money. This just keeps segregating the fandom where everyone is mad that their favorite isn't being used the way they want them to be used and noone wins. The worst thing you can do is keep adding more characters. It just doesn't make sense to me at this point.
