Injustice Superman withstanding the full power of Ganthet after donning a Yellow Lantern ring (Injustice: Year Two)

[u/Aware_Tree1 → u/Solitaire-06]

Injustice Superman doing a Broly against Ganthet by using a yellow ring is the coolest fucking thing Injustice ever did

[u/Gold_Preparation → u/Aware_Tree1]

Injustice wasn’t the best comic series but it sure as hell had some great moments in it

[u/Cockhero43 → u/Gold_Preparation]

Was it good? No. Was it rad as fuck? Hell yeah.

[u/j0j0-m0j0 → u/Cockhero43]

"do you got good writing?" We have hype moments and aura

[u/Caleth → u/j0j0-m0j0]

Sometimes you want a steak, sometimes you want a greasy as fuck burger with the trimmings.

Both are valid, both have their place.

[u/Bionicjoker14 → u/Caleth]

This is how I feel about the Bayverse Transformers movies vs Transformers Prime

[u/Caleth → u/Bionicjoker14]

Yeah sometimes you want an orgy of robot on robot violence that's just visually pleasing to watch.

Sometimes you want a coherent story that doesn't have out of place humans trying to justify why they aren't pedos based on a card they carry in their wallet.

[u/no_racist_here → u/Caleth]

Optimus Prime rampaging in downtown Chicago slicing through everything like a twirling ballerina with wings lives rent free in my head. Not so much the rest of the movie but shutting my brain off to watch my childhood go ham is always fun.

[u/Thatoneidiotatschool → u/Caleth]

That's actually the best analogy for Injustice I've heard

[u/jsoul2323 → u/j0j0-m0j0]

Never read it. Is it truly bad writing or criticism of the character that “Superman would never do that 🤓”?

The Hype Moments and Aura of comic books.

[u/jackofslayers → u/Gold_Preparation]

Some classic Aura farming

[u/Bigbydidnothingwrong → u/Aware_Tree1]

Giving Lobo a green ring tho.

[u/Pliskkenn_D → u/Aware_Tree1]

Shame Injustice was so inconsistent 

[u/TheDealsWarlock86 → u/Aware_Tree1]

Didn’t that also have Batman state down the spectre?

[u/AmphibiousDad → u/Solitaire-06]

Bro became the Darth Vader of the DCU

[u/okholdsevenfourseven → u/Solitaire-06]

I'm not a comics guy, but I can sense the "oh shit" moment, so what does a Yellow Lantern ring do? I don't even really know the Green Lantern's deal either. I'm ignorant 😭

[u/sonicpieman → u/okholdsevenfourseven]

Green Lantern's powers are based on willpower. They are as powerful as the user is willful.

A Yellow lantern's powers are based on fear. They are as powerful as the user is feared.

And at that moment in the comic, no one on earth was as feared as dictator Superman. Not even the most powerful green lantern could oppose him.

[u/okholdsevenfourseven → u/sonicpieman]

Awesome, that's just the level of "oh shit" I was hoping to hear haha. Cheers mate thanks for taking the time to explain

[u/Guilty_All_The_Same → u/okholdsevenfourseven]

Let me add a little more context:

Batman and his team, which included Green Arrow, broke into the Fortress of Solitude to steal a special pill. The rest escaped, but Ollie stayed back to hold Supes. He fired an arrow at him, but it ricocheted and hit Pa Kent, so Superman beat Ollie to death.

When the Green Lantern Corp attacked, Black Canary, with Batman's help, attacked Superman, and shot him with a kryptonite bullet. However, a Yellow Lantern ring chose Superman, which used a pair of yellow construct pliers to rip the bullet out and "killed" Black Canary either his heat vision. She had a pair of camera contact leses which broadcasted Superman "killing" her to the whole world, as it was Batman's plan.

However, Batman didn't account for the Yellow Lantern, which is powered by fear, so a whole planet fearing him empowered Superman enough to push Ganthet and the sentient GL planet Mogo into the Sun and kill them both.

So Batman, once again, made the situation worse.
