With This Ring, I Thee PWN

Batman's great, but stealing the power ring off the finger of a Green Lantern without him even noticing it? I call shenanigans.

Uh huh. Yep. (He said, dismissively.) This out-of-character nonsense from the New 52niverse is a poor plot device that, let's face it, wouldn't have happened under the "old guard." Before the events of Infinite Crisis Final Crisis Flashpoint, you'd never catch a GL getting de-ringed by the Dark Knight! Not in a bajillion years.

Oh. Um. Okay. Well...

Never mind.

    Aquaman did much the same in the Peter David series.

    Yeah, but Kyle was a doofus. Hal was the kind of guy who would spend half of each day thinking up protocols for the ring to follow and programming it in.

    Yeah, I call shenanigans. Especially, since the Lanterns can make their rings come when they want them.

    Why is it ALWAYS Batman.
