As one of the GLs once said, Hal (and to a general extent, all GLs) don't buy what Bruce sells. Batman is based on fear, GLs overcome fear.

They overcome their own fear. Do they really have a problem with scaring their enemies?

Yeah, but Hal is a pedophile.

Her planet obviously revolves around their sun faster making her legal age as far as Hal cared.

Oh no, Hal cared about that. He called her Little Sister and claimed that didn't change her actual age.

He just changed his mind once she used her ring to make herself physically older!!!

That was John. And I found it kinda funny cause he really only says that about Hal, so I take it to mean he totally buys Bats' hype. Guy obviously gets no say in anything Batman related forever.

It's been a while, but when Guy was in JLA back in the 90s didn't Batman more less scare the piss out him?

I'm still mad that young Cyclops got poached before him and x23 could really hook up and weird everyone out, but her and Warren was a nice consolation prize.

What? Green Lanterns don't buy Batman's poo poo. Guy got one punched, but at least he called him out. And in JLA (maybe Tower of Babel?) Batman is talking to Kyle, and Kyle is sketching Batman with his ring, making him look like a cartoon vampire. John was never in any of the iconic Justice Leagues in the comics, so he never really got much of a chance stand up to Batman, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did at some point.

If you want to make your character look cool, just have them clown on Batman.

Hal clowns on Batman a lot since the New 52, but it's pretty much always for Batman to look cooler next to dumb jock Hal.

I wasn't particularly impressed by the JLA (DC-wide) reboot but I did really dig the Hal/Batman interactions:



Edit: Later on in the same issue (I think) he volunteers to do something heroic while holding Wonder Woman's lasso, so adds on at the end,"I'll do it but not because I'm noble like the Flash, I just wanna impress you!" :xd:

What's up with the special-kid padded helmet on Archangel here. At least, I assume it's Archangel since someone on this page said it was Warren, and last time I checked (which admittedly wasn't recently) there weren't a whole hell of a lot of blonde dude mutants with wings.

Well, the original Angel keeps going crazy when his brain gets tampered with, so as soon as they got Kid Warren they figured better safe than sorry.

Should have made him a batboy or have the wings be projections of the focused totality of his telepathic powers. Because I hear that's a thing.

Dashing? But I'm not even moving!


I wish I had a panel I remember from one of the other DC-Marvel crossovers.

The Avengers and JLA cross paths, and start having the kind of tense and mistrustful discussion you'd expect from crossover comic where, you know, they have to all fight at least once. Thor is eventually all "I say thee gently caress this" and hurls himself towards Superman.

Time slows to a crawl. Superman looks at Thor. Looks at the hammer. Looks back at Thor. Smirks...and is instantly knocked unconscious.

The rest of the JLA freaks the gently caress out and dog-piles the Alternate Universe Wing-head Superman who is clearly like, fifty times stronger than Real Superman, holy poo poo, we're Earth's only hope.
