His ultimate intent was to put her with John Stewart, even back during the Road Back. It was always his intent to put her on the Mosaic, which happened in the Road Back. Why would he put her there and have her as Hal Jordan's girlfriend...when Hal Jordan is not there often, but John Stewart is there all the time?
I mean, if he didn't mean for this stuff to happen, why did it happen the way it did?
Read the forward to The Road Back. Kevin Dooley says that DC always planned to spin other GL titles out of the GL main series when they released the first issue.
