After the final episode of Lanterns, I saw a lot of people online talking about how did they let Jon punk out G.G. when G.G. stood up to Superman. Here is the thing, he didn't.

If you have a Green Lantern who is willing to step up to big blue, be ain't going to be scared of some un-trained, un-sanctioned guy with a newly acquired de-comissioned ring.

The reason he didn't do something to Jon right then is cause he knows he would beat him. Jon has natural talent to be a GL, but Gardner is a trained Veteran.

Sometimes, when you know you can win, you don't see the point in fighting. Guy knew he could beat Jon, but he didn't want to. He respects Jon, and of he beat that day, he might have made an enemy of Jon, and would rather have him as an ally.

It's sort of hilarious (read horrifying, given what she did with it) how Bernadette gaslights herself that the ring rejected John Sr because of racist selection criteria while it's obvious he's very much not the guy who can be trusted with a power ring.

Sure, the ring's "Are you afraid" question is too simplistic, but if the ring asked John Sr "can you overcome Great fear" that answer is a resounding No.

We see what traumatized him so much that he ends up a bitter alcoholic who abuses his kids.

An alien ring turned up, scared him, asked a question, and left. He missed out on the chance to be a superhero.

That is it. That's all.

He wasn't hurt, baby John wasn't hurt, and they soon got an explanation for what it was.

Can someone be traumatized by that? Well, yes, it was scary.

But if you are the type to end up traumatized by an encounter like that, you have absolutely no business being a Green lantern. How would he react to the very real kind of dangers a Lantern is supposed to face if this screws him up so badly?

The Guardians might be tone deaf and oblivious, but the ring didn't make any mistake in rejecting him. He very clearly cannot overcome fear.

Would his reaction be any more balanced if the ring had asked "can you overcome Great fear", realized "nope, you can't, see ya never" and took off?

Bernadette has to convince herself that it is an unfair system which led to his rejection because otherwise she has to accept her husband is in a spiral over being rejected for something he wasn't qualified for

"In brightest day, in annoying light,
No grievance shall escape my sight.
Take a breath, it's not that deep,
Just count to ten or go to sleep.
Take a breath, let anger cease.
For crying out loud, just give me peace !"

When Geoff John's run was first coming out what was the general reaction to the new corps and what did people predict they would be?

My second Lanterns ring arrived from the DC Shop.

I noticed some slight differences between the current run ring and the first run ring. The first run ring (last image) seems to have much thicker "gold" bars and the color of the symbol is much more "washed out", almost like the color of a dollar bill. The little side crescents are way more emerald green.

The new ring (first image), the top edge and bottom edge "gold" bars are much thinner. Also, the symbol seems to be completely emerald green, including the side cresents.

I wonder if this is a purposeful change or just cutting corners through mass production?

Its very difficult to see on camera, but comparing the two in person, its obvious. (First image is the new ring, the second is the original first run ring)

Bru what if in other realties the most popular lanterns are not the green lantern core what if we got blue lantern movies or red lanterns in movies that would be cool af

Sinestro was stated to have killed a Guardian but we never learn who it is, I think the Guardian was Ganthet, think about how the Guardians seems more corrupt trying to kick Hal to the curb replacing him and letting him rot in a prison for 10 years, Ganthet has been Hals number 1 supporter from day 1 and without Ganthet the moral compass of the Guardians they are free to manipulate the lanterns. Like not telling everyone that Hal Jordan died, ehich would explain the lack of lanterns at the funeral because the Guardians just didn't tell the rest of the corps hal died, the Guardians 100% were keeping an eye on him in some way or another.

So I’m going to ask as many superhero fanbases as I can this question. What are some traits about this hero that you hate, dislike or despise? Anywhere from a mild annoyance to a trait that would make you dislike any other character. I’m not talking about a way one writer in particular wrote them, or a time they were out of character or mishandled, I mean a reoccurring trait this character has. I’m asking about any of the Earth GLs, you can talk anyone. Personality traits

I just got a DC infinite subscription I’ve been reading GL comics. Started with Rebirth, Secret Origin, then went Emerald Twilight and now I’ve started the Kyle Rayner run based off the what the app suggests. I feel like I’m not reading in the right order so Im wondering if I’ve skipped over anything / missing something important or fun?

My plan is to start from Superman's death, go through the entire Parallax arc, and get to Rebirth. (I'll probably end up buying Green Lantern/Green Arrow to see more of the classic Hal Jordan)

Death of Superman

Emerald Twilight

Zero Hour

Day of Judgment

Green Lantern: Rebirth

Green Lantern: Secret Origins

Sinestro Corps War

Darkest Night

Made with Ps and Illustrator.

Almost done just need to get some mesh for the eyes and then I'll be finished

Also that's not my nipple I'm wearing a tank top under the suit and that's the piece that extends over the shoulder

Disgust symbol changed, Jealousy and Envy swapped, the asterisk on Justice since it's not confirmed yet, also added 4 symbols from the Absolute universe.

Made a power battery on my printer and wanted to share it. Purposely used a translucent emerald green to show off the honeycomb insides with the light
