    And the ring didn't like him anyway, IIRC - it could sense that he used a GL ring in the past, yes?

    No, it rejected him because he had too much willpower.

    I think it was both actually - the ring firstly says 'Conflicting emotional resonance registered - willpower overriding fear'. It then says lower down on the panel, 'Previous exposure to Green Lantern power ring detected'.

    I think you're right but that part doesn't make much sense anyway. Sinestro used to use a GL ring and he's using a yellow ring just fine. Not to mention all the yellow rings Hal used (or tried to use) during the war.

    It makes more sense if it was solely Batman's willpower against the ring that made it reject him.

    Maybe it was just making a note of it. Y'know? Like 'hey, this guy used a GL ring at one point, make of that what you will.' Maybe identifying him as a potential threat/target.

    So Batman can't be a Green Lantern because he uses fear too much
    And he can't be a Yellow Lantern because he has too much willpower?

    I think Sinestro wearing one might have something to do with him founding the Sinestro Corps.

    Just maybe.

    They should make it a recurring joke that Booster inspired some of history's greatest monsters.

    Like the time he bumped into that German painter and made him spill paint on his smock. When asked his name, Booster blurted out, "Michael C-- erm-- Gold. Michael Gold!"

    And the rest is history!

    Exactly. So why would Sinestro specifically make a rule that bans people who've worn GL rings? I don't think he really cares, so long as they instill fear in others.

    I think we know that using one color doesn't automatically make you incompatible - see the GLs becoming Red, Yellow and Blue at the least - and I'd agree: why would Sinestro have a rule about excluding GLs? He's gone out of his way to solicit them, hasn't he?

    I know it's a joke that's been made before, but re-reading Booster Gold, I was struck by how much I want to see Roy G. Bivolo re-appear in Green Lantern as some kind of ultra badass.

    totally worth it just for the art.

    although yeah it's kind of a weird fit for hal jordan.

    seth fisher also did Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big in Japan, which was a terrific fit for all five of those characters and was completely awesome.

    so Rage of the Red Lanterns was pretty good.

    Given what was said by the Guardians and the Sinestro Corps member, it sounds like the first part of the new Star Sapphire arc in GLC takes place just before this issue as the Guardians mention in this issue preparing to go on a diplomatic mission to Zamaron.

    That was essentially the plot of HBO's Rome, and it was glorious.

    It's a cat that vomits blood, kills trained space-warriors and is working for a guy named fucking atrocitus .

    There fixed that for you. and yes i would read a comic about the average house cat thats pushed so far over the edge by a Tom & Jerry style mouse, that it murders everybody in the house and then burns it down in an effort to kill the mouse.
