Hal, Unjustly Treated!



Poor Hal Jordan.

He was the greatest .... UNTIL mean old Mark Waid retconned him as a sexist pompous, overconfident jackass.

Right?

Wrong.

The Absorbascon knows better.

Boy, those examples are old. Batman hasn't smiled since early Silver Age. And the one where Atom was waiting for Hal to turn on him? That was an evil doppleganger.

So which is better? The young bombastic jackass or the older philosophical stick-in-the-mud?

I like the Hal with no personality best! It sucks when they try to give ANYONE a "personality," because the writers are so lame it is never done well.

I like Hal with NO personality, just a ring that makes big fists to punch bad guys. That way, there's less "writing" (ugh) and more action.
