Was ASBaR the one where Robin spends like two issues in the Batmobile and his face gets put on a milk carton before Batman even gets back to the Batcave from Gotham City?

Yep

Batman will leave you utterly crippled for life, but he won't kill you. Robin went straight for the killing shot to the throat.

I actually really like All Star Batman and Robin, and when I let my friend read it, he characterized Batman as basically being the Joker in a cowl without all the clown gear.

That would explain why when the Joker does appear he's scowling, brooding and saying he's not funny. They switched bodies!

So unh, what's stopping Hal from just making a big green boxing glove or whatever? His ring can't affect yellow things, but as far as I know being around yellow has never drained its power.

Also rear end in a top hat Batman could have saved a whole bunch of time by just installing some really overpowering yellow lightbulbs in that room.

It's really hard to cook parasites and diseases out of it. Eating monkey meat is how humans get SIV, a virus theorized to be the progenitor of HIV. Also, y'know, a lot of them are endangered and in places that are hard to get to.

And they taste bad.

It's often called bushmeat.


The reason the practice is not widespread is because it turns out that when your genetic friends are infected with something like, say, ebola, then handling and eating their flesh tends to give you the exact same thing.

That big green boxing glove would have no effect on yellow things. He'd try to hit Batman with it and nothing would happen.

Also it would no doubt be way more of a pain to domesticate monkeys for lesser return in meat compared to the actual food animals we rely on, to take a long term view on the subject.

Well, he probably would have once get he got a lot madder in the next pages and lashed out. But in the meantime, Robin stole his ring, soooooo
I linked the entire sequence up above, thanks for ignoring it?

And realizing the sheer effort that Batman and Robin put into painting the room would have flustered Hal more anyway, which was the point.

Does casting a yellow light on an object actually then render it as ineffective against a ring?

Pretty sure that the rules are aggressively undefined. If it's dark wherever they are, the object isn't even reflecting yellow light. So what, the ring doesn't work on certain types of pigment?

I mean, I think Hal could just use his GL ring to make green fire or something to heat the colourless air until batman can't stand the heat and then just punch him but Hal's never been the most creative GL so aside from the cool psychological effect Bats could've just put on a yellow hat or something.

"Why doesn't he just carry around a paintball gun loaded with green pellets?"

Really, though, that scene had so many layers of Batman:
1: He's teaching his new ward discipline
2: He's testing to see how through and willing to take stupid orders his ward is
3: he's seriously mind-loving Green Lantern
4: He's showing his ward exactly how crazy you have to be to be 'crazy-prepared.'
5: he's just being a smug douche with the lemonade.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I imagine that a fresh Green Lantern is encouraged to spend time with a set of yellow Pantone color swatches to find out what shades the ring can punch through and which ones are immune.
