They Removed Green Lantern's Weakness

There was a great bit in Batman Brave and the Bold where Guy Gardner meets Alan Scott. At one point Guy mocks him for being weak against wood. “What happens when someone attacks you with a pointy stick?””Same thing that happens to you if they paint it yellow”

The fact that they just made everything that beat him yellow and didn't call it out explicitly was perfect, I think.

John had a yellow turtleneck in his nightmare from Only a Dream. This probably wasn't intentional, but would make sense for Doctor Destiny to try to make him weaker.

All roads lead back to that damn yellow batsuit.

Could you imagine Green Lantern going "UGGGARRGH!" and dramatically collapsing whenever he sees a yellow villain?

Green Lantern would be doomed in a Simpsons crossover Also with my green lantern ring the first thing I'm doing is flying.

“Detective, if I had a Green Lantern ring, I’d probably make myself an excellent grilled cheese sandwich that won’t stain all over my shirt that hides my awesome pecs.” -Ra’s Al Ghul at some point, idk

For all the issues I have with Geoff Johns' writing, the retcon that the reason for the Green Lanterns' weakness to yellow was Parallax being trapped inside the Power Battery was very efficient and also helped redeem Hal Jordan in a way that made sense.

The Guardians legit went: "It's not a bug, it's a feature."

ok but if you think about it Parallax living in the central battery can justify the weakness to Yellow entirelly: - the Lantern rings are connected to the Users mind on a subconscious level, right? - so if Parallax who is the Yellow Light of fear is inhabiting the Central battery then it means every Lantern is subconsciously aware a parallax - the Green light of Willpower weakens when exposed to ANY Fear, not just the Yellow Light of Fear therefore Yellow works on lanterns because they ARE Subconciously afraid of yellow. Why? because Yellow represents the biggest fear a Lantern could ever have: the Fear of Fear Itself

Possible that Parallax in the DCAU is just classified and most Lanterns, like the one in Batman Beyond's time period, were just told something like "The Impurity took millennia of work to remove" without having the nature of what the impurity was explained cause it wasn't important. It's just a little bit of trivia like "In those days we had to deal with X" that the older guys in the Corps joke about.

Ever notice both of Shayera's outfits are yellow? She was GL's biggest weakness afterall

Truthully, if I had a green lantern ring, I'd probably spend the first couple of hours designing the coolest looking green lantern uniform possible so I'd at least have a sick outfit to wear while inevitably failing my first super hero-ing attempt in spectacular fashion. I'm thinking something with a hood.

sees GL has turned evil Batman: "It's time" puts on the yellow batsuit

I would make a mech suit with my green lantern ring

Head canon, maybe its a subconscious thing like it doesnt actually weakening him but more making him think of the fear thus subconsciously lowering his will power.

I love the idea that a Pikacku could solo an army of green later. As for the qotd: I'd make a hoverboard. I wanna see if it's as cool as it sounds

I never really felt the color yellow being a weakness was too goofy, but the WAY it was so often such an impediment in the comics, like GL couldn't think of any other way to defeat someone wearing yellow, that was often worth an eye rolling. 'Oh no, the villain donned a yellow mech suit, I'll have to retreat and come up with another plan. Never mind that I can just hurl boulders at the chump.'

if I had a green lantern ring I would make a tiny Godzilla and a tiny King Kong and see them fight
