If one thousand green lanterns projected a green filter before the sun, they could alter the color of its rays, making superman and actually all of krypton beatable by a competent ring bearer like hal or sinestro

If
It would probably be easier to find a Lantern among those thousand that can create Kryponite constructs.
How? This is beyond them
It's technically possible, it just requires a deep understanding of how kryptonite works.
think again
Come to think of it, why ARE Kryptonians so negatively affected by Kryptonite? I thought it was pieces of their homeworld, but if it's their homeworld it shouldn't be killing them.
Unless they were living on a thin sheet of earth protecting them from a super-uranium bedrock.
It just became super irradiated over decades of space travel and picking up random shit to turn different colors. Also I think Supes went through a black hole or something? Or it in fact was a few thousand years he was in stasis? That changes over time.
I think I heard somewhere the explosion of the planet also changed the properties of the rocks and made them radioactive to kryptonians? Is something like you said or something like I said, depending on the incarnation.
The planet itself absorbed red sun light radiation since the beginning of its formation, for one. They were normies on their own planet, remember? Then the planet exploding and going nuclear with their red sun might have something to do with it also.
Or maybe they're just homesick.
Man Of Steel has an explanation for it let me fish out my copies rq
okay
this is a line from Man Of Steel #1 by Jor El, page 4.
"A Chain Reaction Within The Core Of Krypton Has Caused Vast Pressures To Build Within The Planets Crust. Those Unnatural Pressures Are Fusing The Native Elements Into A New Metal... A Radio-Active Metal"
Fair enough then.
If I remember right, it's a long-term exposure risk to humans, so does that mean humans are more resistant to radiation than Superman or is he immune to radiation that kills us?
>If I remember right, it's a long-term exposure risk to humans, so does that mean humans are more resistant to radiation than Superman or is he immune to radiation that kills us?
I always just assumed that it affected the same mechanism that lets him absorb sunlight.
I don't think Kryptonite affects Superman when he's depowered.
the guy playing superman on the radio show needed smoke breaks, so they made up kryptonite to incapacitate superman while the actor smoked
all constructs are hard light, moron
see
Kyle did it.
It's easier to siphon the sunlight out of Superman.
But then Hal beat Zod by ramming a really big green plane into him. He also beat Henshaw by shooting him really big Dragonball style
Couldn't Hal just drop him into the phantom zone?
Also sinestro is the best green lantern that ever existed.
Facts.
Why does DC ape up Superman when Hal's feats are much more impressive given he's just a human?
His feats are only good in his own book. The second a GL steps into a JLA or event book they can only make very breakable bubbles and die
GLC are much cooler than the JLA tho.
Green Lanterns tend to be treated poorly when Superman is in the same story.
I chose not to believe that Superman is anybody's favorite. Dude has the likeability of a rock.
Why do you care? He's not real.
If hes not real how can we talk about him? He makes people fell good and bad things and causes actions.
He is real
All that for a fictional character? Wow. Is he helping you pay for your bills too?
On the contrary. He ia keeping me from paying my bills, therefore he is real.
The green lanterns used to be able to alter their light to emit a kryptonite radiation effect but I'm not sure if that's still canon after new 52.
Hal nuked a planet and almost killed Sinestro when he was powered by Parallax. Everyone knows that Green Lanterns job when there's more of them. Hal on his own is godtier.
Sinestro and Hal are so fricking cool
Superman or Batman alone could beat up both of them and frick their wives like weak little cucks.
Bruce and Clark will never have this lol
That baby is Batman's btw he beat up Hal and fricked Carol because she wanted a real man like Bruce
>Bruce and Clark will never have this lol
Clark has a wife and kid though?
superman can just punch planets apart
What if they gave Sinestro long Fabio hair?
Do it.
Why is Hal always getting replaced? They couldn't bother to place a cheap intimation in a kids film?
>Why is Hal always getting replaced?
Because the GLC letting anybody in means the blue and black skins in the back get pushed to the front despite nobody liking them.
Isn't Wonderwoman greek? Why does she look Indian?
also isn't Aquaman an Atlantean? Why would a deep-sea people need high levels of melanin? Do whales have melanin? I actually don't know the answer to any of these questions.
Why cover the whole sun with an army? One guy projecting the same green filter around Superman achieves the same thing, then you have 999 others left to attack him.
why do all that to beat up Superman that when he can just create a construct of Batman?
Both Batman and Superman suck complete ass.
I only like Hal because he's a moron in most stories. Thus he entertains me.
I don't know how the constructs are formed, since sometimes it appears they're coming from the ring while other times it seems like they're just manifested near-by with the ring as acting as a conduit for it's creation, but couldn't Hal (or one of the other Lanterns) construct something within Superman (or even a less powerful person) and cause it to expand, killing them?
Even if it has to stay connected to the ring, I feel like for most heroes (Maybe not Superman, but most) wouldn't be able to dodge a piece of flying light string shooting into their nose/mouth and then rapidly expanding before they can even consider expelling it?
>couldn't Hal (or one of the other Lanterns) construct something within Superman (or even a less powerful person) and cause it to expand, killing them?
If you're strong enough to kill Supes from the inside, why not just blast him?
Because a direct attack on his internal organs being crushed is a different beast than getting sprayed with energy against your powerful exterior hide.
Yeah but the willpower energy is much more different than regular energy. It can pierce through though hides.
Why do people have such a inferiority complex when it comes to Superman on here? The internet is weird.
Hal's kids aren't homosexuals, Clark's is.
Hal > Clark
I've been lurking here for a while and I'm a bit baffled. But you people seem quite salty? What did Superman do to offend so many people here? Is it his powerlevels that make you mad? And I've seen Batman fans have a huge superiority complex over him too.
What's the deal, someone please explain this to me.
Superman is boring.
There are tons of characters I don't care for. But I don't seethe over them. So something must be pissing you off or maybe....is Superman screwing over your favorite character?
?
Huh? What does Aquaman have to do with anything? Are you people actually jealous of Superman? The only time I see this type of behavior in fandoms if one character is screwing over another, and the other feels like they have to compensate by being spiteful. Literally what the frick.
Superman is atop of the hierarchy. He must be the best in everything because he is a symbol, he was the first
Is that why people are mad? That's a bit silly. Of course that's DC's fault, not really the character. So they're directing their anger at the wrong...thing.
Superman is DC
>Superman is DC
Lmao Batman is DC because Superman is such an antidraw.
I'm coming from more of a casual perspective. I've always saw Superman as the icon of comicbook characters in general, which is why I was sort of surprised people were so salty about him online.
>I've always saw Superman as the icon of comicbook characters in general, which is why I was sort of surprised people were so salty about him online.
Just wait till you hear about Batman.
I've read Batman comics though. I don't get why people are mad about him either.
>I don't get why people are mad about him either.
Holy fricking newbie
What the frick is there to get mad about? I feel like people forget comics never made sense since it's conception.
Name one thing worth getting mad about
Sorry if capeshit pisses you off this much. It's not like these character ever were consistent.
I have convulsions every time i think about superman. Foam gets out of my mouth. I am trembling right now.
Sorry sis, this website is not for you. I hear reddit is good this time of year.
Batman gets too much screentime, similar to Wolverine.
People treat Batman as if his comics offer deep commentary on society and mental illness when it’s literally a man who dresses up as a bat.
>People treat Batman as if his comics offer deep commentary on society and mental illness when it’s literally a man who dresses up as a bat.
Sounds like ill projection of the chronically online.
Denny O’Neil during the 90s says otherwise, moron.
It's fictional entertainment.
Wow, thanks for staying the obvious. moron.
You needed the reminder.
What was the Nolanverse trilogy, Joker 2019 and The Batman? People don’t want to admit they’re eating capeshit to they have to dress it up and make all edgy for “mature audiences.”
Probably the Nolanverse. But it was because of the Joker and shooting incident.
>Joker 2019
Controversy because of schizos
>The Batman
Nah, this film was already forgotten.
Some anon pointed out a couple weeks ago that Batman had
>4 monthly titles
>A Batman and Robin title
>Robin title
>Catwoman title
>Harley title
>poison Ivy title
>A catwoman, poison ivy and harley team book
>Penguin title
>Joker title
While Green Lantern was cancelled for almost two years, there is no Aquaman Book, multiple team books have been cancelled, and add in the fact that every hero must be moronic and helpless if Batman is there too so he can look good, it just pisses off anyone who is a fan of anyone else to see the massive oversaturation of Bat shit while every other fan gets so little to nothing.
You don’t even read his damn comics. You’re just going off assumptions and looking at clipped youtube videos online.
Assumptions? Anon do you not read the DC solicitations? It’s half Batman.
I do, but I can tell you didn’t bother to read any of this except random scans here and there.
That’s not the fricking point you newbie. He point is that Batman gets a disproportionate amount of titles while everyone gets left in the dust.
He does but thinking Batman is this perfect hero who doesn’t frick up isn’t true. He constantly is getting shit in his own books and has died multiple times already. Does that sound like a hero that isn’t treated like shit?
Again, that’s not the point, the point is that Batman is overexposed and you can it for so long before readers get tired of it.
DC always had an overexposure problem. They did it with Superman, and now they’re doing it with Batman. I’m DC is just moronic.
>Batman is overexposed
Fricking LOL Batman has been DC's most popular character for ages. He's not "overexposed", DC is supported solely by Bat titles. Literally every other character's books exist solely due to Bat-welfare.
>he’s popular therefore he should get more
Sure, I agree. But when it’s 40% of your output, don’t act surprise when people get sick of it.
>don’t act surprise when people get sick of it.
Do they? Individual Bat-titles may come and go outside of the core Batman and Detective Comics titles, but Bat-books have been DC's top sellers for decades. People ain't getting sick of Batman, it's more like there are periods where characters other than Batman have temporary surges but then it settles back into the Bat-status-quo.
> Individual Bat-titles may come and go outside of the core Batman and Detective Comics titles, but Bat-books have been DC's top sellers for decades.
The last golden age of DC started because they took a chance with Geoff Johns and Peter Tomasi’s Green Lantern. You wouldn’t get that today.
>there is no Aquaman Book
Surely the movie will fix that
>Huh? What does Aquaman have to do with anything? Are you people actually jealous of Superman? The only time I see this type of behavior in fandoms if one character is screwing over another, and the other feels like they have to compensate by being spiteful. Literally what the frick.
Do you have autism or something?
Do you?
>Do you?
I'm not a Supergay, no.
Okay Superman did something to your favorites to make you this spiteful. Kind of sad really.
Hierarchy is an insult.
Also aquaman could beat superman underwater.
He couldn't. Superman's split the ocean in half with his laservision in Our Worlds At War. Batman beat Aquaman to the floor with only his bare fists before.
A sports team i hate uses superman as a mascot
Superman is up there with Batman and Wonder Woman as the most forced heroes in DC. Their good stories are few and between.
I agree for mainstream cases. I like Green Lantern, so I do want to see more. But in terms of powerlevels Superman seems to have far more tighter mandates on his power display. Unfortunately, not much can be done about that.
>But in terms of powerlevels Superman seems to have far more tighter mandates on his power display.
DC must have clauses for Superman and Batman to not job as much as the other heroes in their animated movies.
I think this is where the Superman OP accusations are coming from. Comics are obviously looser because of niche audiences, but they seem harsher when it comes to media with more eyes on the product. I heard rumors about how in the League of Superpets, DC didn't want Superman to lose to the main threat unless kryptonite was involved along with full clarification that Superman could've beat them out of his own power if he wanted to. Even in the final battle, only Superman was taken out by his canon weakness while every else just...jobbed.
I hate DC and WB so much bros
Superman can hear everyone in danger and selectively chooses who and when to help and otherwise larps as Clark. No other HERO has the excuse of knowing about those in danger and not acting. Even J'onn is better as his disguise is as a detective actually solving crimes. Byrne wrote good stories but he changed Superman for the worst by changing him from an alien visitor protecting his adopted home with the disguise of Clark to blend in and relate to the common man into Clark Kent, farm boy burdened with the responsibility of unearned godlike power that wields it to maintain the status quo.
Superman sucks Captain Atom and Martian Manhunter are better. Supergirl and Powergirl are ok though.
I will never understand why people take comicbook hero logic so seriously.
Suspension of disbelief requires internal consistency.
When have comics ever been consistent? Seems like you're looking for something that was never there.
Every editor's notes and each time there was an encyclopedia released to give an overview of the entire mythos to that point. Have you ever read or sent in a letter to the editors about inconsistencies? Either they genuinely forgot and work out an explanation that later fits into established lore or there is new lore that overrides previous events but there is usually an internally logical decision at play. Cape comic books survive off of engaging readers in a satisfying story that builds upon the previous while keeping you in wait for the next issue to continue the cycle. If they don't care why should we?
>If they don't care why should we?
They don't. Neither should you either.
I don't care about current continuity. I'm content with the backlog. I only gave reason as to why I stopped caring.
u know there are children starving in africa, india, and south america. u could donate just $10 a month to feed some of them and save them, but u don't. you're no better than superman.
Don't fricking lecture me on ways to help, I've volunteered and donated food and supplies for decades to people in need.
Donating money to some ngo has the opposite effect. What isn't squandered by embezzlement and mismanagement fricks up the local economy by providing free shit and leave them in a perpetual cycle of need for aid. Local farmers and merchants can't compete with free aid. Starting a business and hiring locals in need is the best way to help people. Creating infrastructure saves lives.
>I've volunteered and donated food and supplies for decades to people in need.
oh so u "selectively chooses who and when to help" just like u blame superman for doing. what a hypocrite
Yes, because I'm human and have limited time and resources. Kal-El is a fictional solar-powered alien with a smorgasbord of abilities and 2 weaknesses. While he's maintaining his Clark cover people that he could have saved weren't. Every other hero can't hear and respond to calls for help across the planet at-will. Every other hero gets tired and has limitations. Kal has Kryptonian technology locked away in the fortress. If nothing else, agricultural and medical information could be shared. Superman helps people but he helps far fewer than he could and he knows exactly who he's not helping by his inaction.
Read the first issue of Astro City, homosexual. Supes is not a god, even though people in and out of universe like to pretend he is one. He needs rest and socialization like anyone. He would go insane if he was Superman 24/7
The newbies from twitter being moronic again
What kinds of discussions are acceptable in a.comic book board in your opinion?
Anything a redditor would like
*walks out*
*stops him on the way*
*slaps the shit out of him*
>needs Parallax to not shit his pants in fear of base Superman
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
When has Hal ever been afraid of Superman?
See
Literally fantasises about Superman bullying him because Hal's so insecure about his tiny wiener loooooool
>reading pre-Geoff GL
Why would anyone do that?
>base Superman
Does super have fricking transformations now, you terminal powerlevels homosexual? Is there suddenly Superman level 2 with Krypto-ken he can channel you stupid, autistic manchild?
How is he the powerlevel homosexual where you have multiple anon's seething over Superman's powerlevel in this very thread? It's the whole reason why OP even posted.
>Does super have fricking transformations now
Yes including the Thought Robot that beat Mandrakk. Also he is always holding back against Hal because he's too nice to curbstomp him
Why's clark so fricking huge here?
It's a delusion Hal has
Surely there must be a GL who could fight Kryptonians on their level without having to weaken them first?
>Surely there must be a GL who could fight Kryptonians on their level without having to weaken them first?
*walks in*
>If DC editorial didn't have a mandate against good writing, any competent ring bearer could effortlessly oneshot Superman
FTFY
The thing that should had happened in that moron battle in the Injustice comic.
Frick capeshit
How do you make more GLs without access to the main battery?
>anon projects his cuck fantasy on to others
Typical Batgay.
well the sun's not actually yellow so yes they could but no it wouldn't make any difference
also a solar collector the size of a man couldn't possibly account for the amount of energy Superman regularly expends
What if mogo is one of the lanterns
mogo doesn't socialize
This is so dumb I could see a current writer trying to write this.
If Green Lantern is traveling at the speed of light, then shines a lantern in front of him, would it do anything?
No. A GL moving at lightspeed is using all of their willpower to do so and can't at that speed more than maintain course.
So in Hal & Pals Hal flew a plane construct to catch up to light ray, he nearly hit speed force level speed and the construct was breaking apart
You missed the best part, anon.
If that was going to work, wouldn't it be easier to, gee, I dunno, just put a green sunshade over Superman?
>beatable by a competent ring bearer like hal
This is where you lost me.
It’s not 1979 anymore anon. Hal is the best hero DC has.
