I would imagine it's hard for Hal or ANY superhero to hold down a regular job and earn a steady paycheck (unless they're filthy rich like Bruce Wayne) when you're called upon to save the world at almost any moment. Grant Morrison had it right when he portrayed Hal in the GL reboot as a drifter who's in and out of work since his main job is an intergalactic lawman.

If only Johns had decided to write this Hal when he rebooted the Justice League. I get that he was younger, but the whole point of being a GL was that he was chosen because he was already heroic, not that he eventually matures to this level over time. It still befuddles me that Johns of all people made that choice for the younger Hal.
I think this was one of the reasons I enjoyed Blackest Night at the time. The main players were not the trinity, despite their presence looming in the background.
I really would like to see a major JLA story featuring Hal, Ollie, Carter, Ray, Barry, MM, and Dinah. Throw in Vixen, Hawkgirl, and Vibe. Give the trinity a break.
