Wait, so Green Lantern’s weakness is yellow? Well, shit. Might as well paint myself yellow and punch him in the face and piss on him.

I think Aquaman got the worst of the editorial enforced weaknesses.

>>152671381
Several villains tried that. Hal removed all the air in the room or turned the atmosphere to poison or something.

Larry Niven (I think it was) scripted a comic which dealt with the problem "scientifically". Hal fled from his foes at such a speed that they Doppler-shifted into not-yellow and were then easy to deal with.

They realized Hal wasn't enough of a Mary Sue so they got rid of the weakness at a certain point.

This is a spammer, guys. Same guy who makes all the Avatar AI spam. I wish non-spammers made more comic threads.

The yellow impurity, even back when the book first started, was dumb. Like really fucking dumb

I get that it was done mostly so that Hal and the other Lanterns wouldn't be literal gods who could just will shit into existence with their rings (and probably to be a homage to Alan who couldn't use his ring against wood), but still, very dumb. Grateful to Johns for getting rid of it during his run

Why did this Batman make a whole super special trap room for one of his allies anyway? What was the point here?

>>152671381
I never really got how Silver Age Sinestro couldn't easily kill Hal. His power is basically Hal's weakness weaponized.

Rainbow Lanterns saved the franchise and in the decade they weren't in the GL run the run was a flop
>>
>>152675578
Because Silver Age GLs were OP as fuck and could do damn near anything. The yellow thing was so they could have some kind of weakness that writers would brainstorm a solution around to build a story (so it wasn't really that much of a weakness ultimately). Hal at the time was considered one of the strongest heroes on Earth just below Superman.
Modern GLs are much weaker, so they don't need the yellow weakness anymore.
>>
>they get rid of the yellow weakness
>they keep Alan's wood weakness
not fair
>>
>>152674045
this, but sinestro having his own corps makes perfect sense given his obsession with order
the sinestro corps is the only one I don't have a problem with, though it's not as fun as sinestro teaming up with a sentient space sector

He wasn’t part of the league yet in this so he was probably also going to have similar scenes with Superman and Wonder Woman

What would the Wonder Woman trap room be?
Some BDSM dungeon with rope traps and snares everywhere?

>>152679173
Still though, why do Batman writers love this type of scenario most of all. Batman setting up elaborate traps and plans to kill other heroes. Majority of them going WAAAAYYY beyond anything he has ever done for any villain.

I can see him making elaborate plans for some of the tougher supervillains out there in the world. But I don't think he has ever done anything like that at all. He never meticulously plans out methods to handle Zoom, Black Adam, Major Force, Grodd, Weather Wizard, or Starro. He doesn't even keep elaborate plans for his own villains, he waits until they start breaking shit in Gotham and makes up something after they get started.

But other heroes and JLA members, he will take all the time in the world and build up weapon stashes to kill those guys.

It wasn't even a trap. He was just meeting with Hal to have a serious discussion so he preemptively painted himself and everything in the room yellow so Hal couldn't intimidate him.

Are yellow lanterns vulnerable to green?

All the color Lantern paper rock scissors stuff only happened when Johns introduced them and then it never came up again under any other writer.

But when they first appeared
>Green had no defense against Red
>Green was massively powered up by Blue
>Blue needed Green nearby to be able to do anything
>Yellow was depowered when a Blue was nearby
>Blue hard counters Red
>Indigo can steal any color for themselves
>Orange can charge itself off any other ring
>Violet hard countered Yellow

Basically Orange was the most powerful since it absorbed everything
Green was the most powerful when partnered with a Blue
Red and Violet has the strongest influence on the wearer, followed by Indigo and Orange
Red replaces the heart of the user and they will die if the ring is taken off
Yellow was supposed to be the only other one that can make constructs
Orange rings kill and download the wearer and turn them into living constructs.

Worried that if he doesn't threaten the lives of his "friends" they'll take his favorite playmate away.
