This issue had some snappy diolgaue but I was puzzled by the recent we’re positioning Hal as part of the Trinity vibe I’ve gotten from DC (in general) lately. Probably due to the movie franchise, but ultimately annoying. I felt it was a particularly baffling-if-not-blatant-devil’s advocate-move to have Hal and Batman discussing the fact that supers aren’t welcome [in America] but then go on to prove exactly WHY Hal shouldn’t be wielding that ring without adult supervision. Grandstanding a character that makes a habit of poking alien bombs with a power ring isn’t a ringing endorsement for let the supers run around doing stuff to America . I recognize that Hal brings the reason for the dissent to the page (i.e. showcasing exactly why America is wary of supers) vs. Batman, who is relatively level-headed and tries NOT to blow the up the tri-state area with a careless round of bomb poking. But this doesn’t make Hal any less of an annoying d-bag. The Batman/Superman/Hal meet up felt a little tired and not much of a surprise I feel like it would have been a bigger twist to have Hal and Batman meet up with Wonder Woman. If anything, it would have at least given the writers an excuse to have Hal say something sexist and witty a la Don Draper. Batman and Wonder Woman have had some excellent antagonistic story lines and chemistry plus, I read that Wonder Woman’s book is supposed to be more dark/horror oriented in DCNu, so a Bats & WW meet cute would have been appropriate. Overall a bit short, witty diolgaue, too many d**** on the dancefloor.
