RIP to Bruce. Can't get a single night to himself smh
A real conversation I had with my sister about Green Lantern…
Me: (talking to my sister) You said the Green Lanterns are like space cops right?
Sis: Yup.
Me: Then why do they suck at their job?
Sis: …Uuhhhh…
Me: Like, they let Krypton explode and let everyone on Tamaran get enslaved.
Sis: The GL core is like one cop watching over all of New York City, Things are gonna fall through the cracks.
Me: Those are some big-assed-cracks… but doesn’t every planet have, like, 3 green lanterns?
Sis: Nope. Those three are for the entire solar system.
Me: 3 guys for 8 planets?!
Sis: Yup. Like I said, things fall through the cracks.
Justice League Lollipop
They would all have their logos (or closest equivalent)
Wonder Woman’s is something sweet but sort of rare when it comes to lollipops. I’m thinking maybe simple honey or maybe an ice cream flavored lollipop by her request. Strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla swirl!
Superman’s is a classic flavor and I feel like his would be red of some kind. Cherry! Maybe it’s just cherry or maybe they spice it up with cola cherry. I feel like the iconic superman needs an iconic flavor. (Also I feel like cherry would just be Clark’s favorite in general)
Batman’s is a little ridiculous. I want it to be something silly, like black currant. He only agreed to this cause the others wanted to and all the proceeds were going to charities. So he chose black currant or maybe just black berry. (I wanna lean black currant and blame Alfred for it) (black currant isn’t bad, I like it, it’s just feels over the top for a lollipop)
Green Lantern won a bet with Green Arrow and got green apple for his. It fits his theming. Poor Ollie got stuck with lime. He hates lime.
Black Canary doesn’t really have a logo so hers is just a lollipop in the shape of her head. She decided to go lemon because she loves lemon flavored candy (sour heads!!!) and she’d match with Ollie. Win win scenario.
Flash had to be something super sweet. He probably had a million ideas for this so he had to settle with one… he chose strawberry lemonade with a hint of spice. Yeah this is insanity on a stick but he loves them! He has the watchtower stocked up all the time.
This is getting really long I’ll continue in another post.
Ok here is a loose drabble thing for my DC Earth:
Earth-H-704
(This is gonna be a lot of nonsense with no cohesion, that will have to come later. Just need to get these ideas on paper.)
(Inspirations are the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited shows. Also quite a few Justice League comics)
- Clark and Bruce meet before anyone else and work together before the Justice League is formed (world’s finest)
- during this time Dick gets taken in by Bruce and Alfred and starts being Robin
-Barry and Hal meet and become friends, they also help each other out from time to time
-Diana comes to America as a diplomat but quickly establishes herself as a hero (she also meets Steve)
-J’onn J’onnz is already on Earth and is acting under his human identity as John Jones. He’s desperately trying to settle into earth and find his place here. He’s working as a detective.
- Arthur has decided enough is enough and also acts as a hero via guardian of the sea stuff.
- well to be honest everyone is establishing themselves during this time. It’s essentially the coming of the age of superheroes.
- Despite working with Superman every once in a while Batman and Robin are still technically a myth.
-So is Arthur who has only been caught on camera like 5 times.
- Diana and Clark end up working together over something in Metropolis.
- This leads to them becoming friends and working together more often.
-Clark introduces Diana to Bruce. They end up working together on a few things and settle into this dynamic. (Trinity)
- eventually a massive invasion happens that causes the main seven to group up and fight against these guys. (Super friends one could say… no it’s the Justice League!!)
- So for the most part they think it’s a one and done sort of deal but incidents keep happening that force them together. (Barry and Bruce working together on a case, Hal and Clark stopping meteors from crashing into earth, Diana and Arthur and J’onn work together to set up safety for aquatic life and talk about how the feel a bit out of place in this new world they find themselves in)
- eventually the Justice League properly forms after another invasion happens and they all work really well together.
- It’s the Trinity (founders (Clark and Diana lure Bruce in by claiming needing help) (he knows they don’t really need his help but he can’t deny them anything)) that properly set up the Justice League. Just with the seven as members for now but willing to add more.
-They all settle into this new arrangement well, and they get that Justice League building built.
- after a few attack attempts Bruce gets the Watch Tower built and then they all settle up there. (He’s attached now, he will never admit it.) (Diana and Clark know.)
- after this several other members are added (Dinah, Oliver, Zatanna, Red Tornado, Shayera, Carter…. Many more)
Basically this is it for now.
Other things that don’t really fit into the timeline yet but do happen:
- there are so many Green Lanterns. The Oa realized earth is a hotbed for universal chaos and recruited even more Green Lanterns for that section of the Universe. (Because I love John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Jessica Cruz, just a lot of them.)
- Technically there was already an age of heroes that came and passed (Alan Scott and such) but they all either disappeared or went into hiding. (Listen I loved the image of Bruce and Tommy watching Alan fight in Batman: Hush. It felt so weirdly inspiring and I can also imagine Clark sitting down and watching The OG Flash be a superhero.) (I might change this and make these guys a separate universe but I love them so it’ll stay like this for now)
- MORE SIDEKICKS (Roy!! Wally!! Donna!!)
- Dinah and Oliver power couple!
- secret identity shenanigans
That’s all for now might add more later
"Flash take the controls," Hal ordered, opening the hatch at the back.
Barry blinked, noticing the empty pilot's seat and zooming into it, shouting, "Are you crazy? I don't know how to fly this thing?!"
"What?" Hal demanded. Something exploded on the planet.
"I'm a forensic scientist!" Barry yelled, wildly pressing buttons. "Isn't there some kind of autopilot?" Looks back to see Hal gone.
Their spaceship proceeds to nose dive towards the alien planet, and Barry starts screaming--
Batman paused the footage, turning to the newer members. "And that's why flight training is now mandatory for all members of the League."
Ok listen I know I already have like several works in progress but I might need to draw Hal Jordan and Bruce Wayne in cowboy outfits.
This is from Batman Universe by the way. It’s not the greatest writing ever but damn if it isn’t fun.
Slides my crack ship across the table for your approval
Hi I’m back and here to talk about Issue 4 of World’s Finest:
Hal is being mind controlled and my god is it funny.
The light from the ring!!! Clark being pissed!! Just amazing!
And the Bruce gets grabbed and Nezha talks shit. Also Hal coming up with a mech is so good!!! The backgrounds are so beautiful!!!
And then Bruce pisses him off and he just throws Bruce?! He’s just tossed it’s so funny.
Supergirl and Robin find out how to defeat Nezha and I like how the artstyle feels a bit different in these scenes. Like softer almost.
Robin gets lost in time.
And the finally my favorite scene! Batman and Superman will Hal’s ring off his finger and FUSE?!
They do a full dragon ball fusion help!? It’s just so crazy I love this comic series. If you’re ever interested read them. My rants do not do them justice.
Ok one more then I have to drive.
I’ve skipped ahead quite a bit but here is Hal Jordan and Alfred being mind controlled.
This art is just absolutely gorgeous
(Also help, help me why is…)
What I love most about these two pages is the lighting. God the way the light just flies off Hal’s ring just looks so beautiful. How the green light reflects off of each character. How the bat computer’s light illuminates Alfred and Nezha in a sinister way. Just gorgeous.
I love these artists!!
I love the fact that the Wayne Family Adventures episode with Hal in it gives the same vibes as when Hal and Bruce went on an adventure in Batman Universe.
Just absolute chaos and getting into such random scenarios. Like they went to the Wild West for some reason?!
I need Bruce doing things he believes is completely out of character for Batman just to scare people. Like full on just putting Brucie into Batman as revenge against the annoyances he’s received.
Hal walks into the meeting room early for once and sees Batman kicking his feet a doodling in his lead lined notebook with a sparkly gel pen.
Hal: “uhhh”
Batman: “Hi GL~”
Hal: flees
By the time the meeting comes around Batman is once again the stoic scary man he always is. Hal is half convinced that it was a hallucination of some kind, maybe lack of sleep or that bagel that Barry dared him to eat.
The meeting ends and everyone is just hanging out. Hal goes over to talk to Barry when he swears he hears Batman’s voice say “no one will ever believe you” in his ear. Hal doesn’t sleep well for a week.
(Batman is very smug about it, that’s what he deserves for eating his bagel. Alfred made the spread for it.)
Baby Dick Grayson as Robin meets the League and they're all gobsmacked at how Batman, who has an emotional range that goes from cynical wet blanket to unstoppable force of nature, has such a seemingly normal and happy kid.
"He must get it from his mom." Green Lantern said, trying to build some kind of rapport. "She approve of you running around beating up bad guys, little man?"
"My mom is dead," Dick replied and Green Lantern paled.
"Oh that's uh--"
"It happened right in front of us." Dick continued conversationally, gesturing to himself and Bruce.
The rest of the League start frantically signalling to Hal without using words, abort! Abort!

Green Lantern vs Star Sapphire art by Ivan Reis
People say Bruce is the most tragic character but Hal Jordan lost his father, his mother, and his relationship with his brothers because he chose to serve in the airforce as a way to get closer to his father, served the country, lost it all in a second.
Lost his connection to his father, lost his income, and by now his mother is dead and his brothers really aren’t talking to him. So he starts over, finds some stability, and then becomes a GL.
And he sacrifices himself over and over again for the world and for the universe, for people who don’t know him, for his brothers who don’t talk to him, for his relationship that he keeps on screwing up, and comes back home to eviction notices, no job, loss of money–
and he just deals with it
People thinking he’s irresponsible, people think he’s not taking anything seriously, people think he doesn’t understand the gravitation of what he’s doing–
but he does. He fights for a universe that doesn’t even know his name and comes back to his landlord yelling at him. Or to bruce calling him an idiot.
And he rarely goes apeshit.
no but bruce and hal dancing with each other in the dead of night to soft classical music and just staring at each other and stepping off beat and nsadbaodbwjs
hal trying to sneak into bruce’s room late at night: 😬
bernard, sneaking out of tim’s room at the exact same time: 😬
hal jordan partaking in underground boxing is a farfetched idea with many possible outcomes
like this green lantern fellow boxes without the use of his ring and beats some people up (and [maybe] apologizes for beating the people up).
maybe hal got into underground boxing after he saw his family starting to hate him. maybe he wants to take his frustration, pain and sorrow onto a punching bag (or worse, a person). maybe he just wanted to get away from his family or life, get the adrenaline rush or something.
eventually, batman does some research, finds out and confronts hal because of the implications (underground boxing is illegal in most countries if there isn’t certified staff). obviously, hal gets pissed. then he asks him how he knows because its something thats been with him in his entire life, it didn’t leave him like his family. hal doesn’t want it to leave like they did.
maybe theres more idk this is all i have
Hal isn’t a DILF but he is canonically both the Hot Uncle and the Cool Uncle and we must acknowledge that more
Hal, honey, do you wanna talk?
Hal: Oh just so you know, it’s very muggy outside.
Bruce:
Bruce: Hal, I swear, if I step outside and all of our mugs are on the front lawn
Hal: *sips coffee from bowl*
Sinestro: We have your son.
Hal: I don't have a son.
Sinestro: Then who is this? He's asking me to watch something called JoJo's Bizzare Adventure with him. It looks quite amusing.
Hal: *gasps* tHEY HAVE KYLE!
