It's kind of funny in ASBAR because he gets clowned on really hard, but the clowning is happening while he's actually making a lot of good points that Batman ignores until Robin almost kills him. Then in DKSA Batman finally admits Hal was right
I'm re-reading Peter David's Young Justice and find it just hilarious how Hal, as an insurance agent, makes a random cameo in Arrowette's origin story handing her mom an insurance check after her dad bites it .
Not sure why Meltzer, and later McDuffie both had such undercooked runs. Both should have been long, and epic.
That's how I view it.
But I quietly enjoy the weird history between Hal & Richard. I think Hal & Richard is where the real drama is, not with Bruce.
Hal actually had a pretty good spotlight in the latest DC Super Hero Girls episode. They even mention Coast City .
