They spout rhetoric like "He was always boring" mostly because they've heard other haters say it before. Or based on some crappy comcs from the 1990s. And who doesn't know: With DC you shouldn't judge ANYTHING by the 1990s. *shudders* The haters are insecure, and just want THEIR favorite to be # 1. And when they're reminded why Hal IS Green Lantern, they freak. Instead of ripping a character that's a big part of DC history, you guys would do well to read the Green Lantern Archives. Far from being boring, Hal is a dynamic, fun character in those stories. If you've got blinders on you'll never see. And you're missing out.

I can't stand the JLI but I kept my snarky mouth shut because of the love many folks seem to have for those characters. The Marvel list contains an X-character that sends me into fits - my absolute least favorite character in comics - but I didn't even name him / her. This Hal bashing has stepped over the line and as Hal was #3 on my list I feel I must join the chorus defending him. So ... Just for his Gil Kane designed costume alone he should make the top 10. I mean, look at that thing - it's beautiful. Hal doesn't have a personality? I must vociferously disagree. Hal is a mature adult. He's extremely competent, maybe a little over-confident, and his main flaw is that he defines "himself" as his "job." That's Hal's whole problem; he's a SUPER-hero! He's not some dumb slacker who lucked into the most powerful weapon in the universe. He's not some anti-social buffoon in moon boots and a bowl haircut. He's friggin' super-hero! What's the matter? Can't "relate"? GOOD! Bravo to the greatest Green Lantern of all, Hal Jordan! I’ve tried to be good, really I have.

Yeah, cause they all have such strong personalities. That's why they lump like thirty of them into a group. And Superman and Batman? Textbook "good cop, bad cop." Talk about boring. Batman makes J'onn J'onnz look like Britney Spears after an eightball. All these Jordan haters are probably the same ones whining about not having any Legion members in the top fifty.

How sad it is to see this shallow cardboard cut-out pushing so many good characters from the top 5. Hell, even the guy who placed at #51 for DC is WAY more interesting than Jordan.

The concept is really pretty simple. Y’all are trying to make it more than what it is." That's what I love about Green Lantern. However, if my Green Lantern stories can be all that while featuring an interesting character (like Kyle, Guy, or John) I'd much rather have that. I'd buy GL if it featured any of the other Earth GLs, and I'd get a great monthly dose of space cop violence featuring characters I care about and relate to. It's just hard to create dramatic violence when I don't care about what happens to the main protagonist. Sorry, Hal. All that said, Geoff Johns is currently making the GL mythos more interesting than it's ever been in my lifetime. “It’s about a space cop beating the crap out of the bad guys.
