Hal Jordan: Green Lantern Appreciation 2020

The disparity in quality between Lee's art and Miller's writing only makes this scene even funnier.

funny sad

Lee could have done something so much better, but was the art gorgeous

I'm joking, but with that book I bet you didn't 100% write it off as a joke.

And yet I love that warts and all page from DKSA.

Wait did that actually happen in DKSA? Have time and brain damage finally helped me forget parts of that mess or at least push it into my subconscious?

LOL, I totally believed you!

I know with Miller anything is possible!

Dude's lost the plot. I want him to do Green Lantern so bad. Oh my God it would be magnificently stupid.

Yes, towards the end when he destroys Luthor's army/weapons/whatever.

Bruce hardly ever trusts anyone who can have the world at their mercy. His paranoid nature just won't allow it no matter how many times that person prove themselves, as if anyone needs Batman's approval anyway. So when it comes to someone like Hal who had already turned into what Bruce always fears his fellow heroes may turn into, there's no way they can get along that well. He told Superman once that the only time he's inspired someone is when he was dead and we think he'll treat Hal well? lol They can be on the same page but I don't see them being close friends or anything like that. Not that they'd ever share a substantial panel time anytime soon to emphasize on their relationship anyway, if you can even call it that at this point. I doubt Bruce or any of the core JL members care much about Hal even being a founding JL member anymore since he never spends any time with them. He needs to be there first before we ever bring up the "trust" topic.

I think it really only happened after Parallax and any tension shown in the past has been a retcon. I don't recall them having tension before that. And then Batman's friction with Guy kinda bled into Batman having an issue with all GLs to a degree.

However, I can see where there would be tension at first. Hal is a man with a powerful weapon, which I can see being a trigger for Bruce. And Hal's apparently flippant or cocky attitude flies against Bruce's adherence to strict discipline. So combine the two and I can see why it might have been difficult for Bruce to trust Hal at first..... but only at first. After being on the JLA together awhile should have taken care of that, but y'know, writers like friction sometimes...

Well, for whatever it's worth, I still think all the animosity between Bruce and Hal boils down to what John said in GL: Rebirth #1:

I think Johns' take was interesting and yes, it holds up between Bruce and Hal, but it's not like Superman or Wonder Woman or Aquaman or J'onn are afraid of Batman. (I can see Barry maybe being intimidated )

Probably true.

[Frontier]

Probably true.

Lot of Batman punching going around.

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Probably true.

And I would imagine that in each and every instance, Bruce had it coming for being an ass.

Well the Superman one was mind controlled at least, rest of that story he was pretty chill and nice to everybody (for Batman).

WW one, definitely though

[liwanag]

Probably true.

rumor is guy had this framed on his wall...

Don't about the Superman case, but definitely so in Hal and Diana's case.

It's Guy's face that really makes the scene.

[silly]

Probably true.

Poor Bats. He had it coming.
