With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[Mr Zoat]

It's been literal years, but I think this is a lie, right? I definitely recall a Weaponeer being involved. Or did she just build the power battery? Shit, I really am having trouble remembering. There was a claim that the ring was "minimum capability" and not a very sophisticated model.

He means 'the person I contacted in order to get it', not that Sinestro literally made it himself.

if he beat the guy up and steal his yellow ring, he could then use it to help fight Yellow-Bat god of prep

Either that, or get a really good precog on your side.

Prep time doesn't work on a guy who can see the future, because their power is basically prep time on crack.

That should say 'an'.


I never considered the possibility of Sinestro trying to make his followers more like Batman. That'd be terrifying to think about.

You joke, but in the comics, Sinestro did admit that Batman would make a wonderful yellow lantern, so a yellow lantern Batman just might be what Sinestro would consider to be a model yellow lantern for his corps (after himself, of course).

IIRC in the comics there has a few times that Batman got a yellow ring, and it actually goes poorly because Batman's willpower is by far his strongest feature.

For example; in Forever Evil #4, Batman used a yellow ring out of desperation, struggled to form solid constructs, and ultimately discarded it, noting it is "not my style".


Paul had to literally alter Batman's brain to make him compatible with the yellow ring, after all.

Sure but in this story it was noted that Batman used to be compatible before his change in mindset. Paul altering his brain was just to speed up the process of taking up that old mindset again.

That's not what happened in Forever Evil. Batmam tried to fight Power Ring and lost, and Sinestro had to save him. After this, in that same story, Sinestro then told Batman that if he ever learned to use the yellow ring, he would make a wonderful yellow lantern.

Huh, must have got my storylines mixed up.

The first time a yellow ring finds its way to Batman, it rejects him due to sensing green energy in his body. Otherwise he was a straight-up superior choice to Jonathan Crane.
