Wasn't there a movie where he cures cancer and proceeds to turn it into a treatment plan that lasts for years?
The most relatable thing I've seen in this story.
Didn't Paul have perfect recall? And if he did, then why isn't this ringing alarm bells?
It was when he was at Vanishing Point. Time manipulation trumps his perfect recall.
Do we have a reason for this in-universe yet?
*Boss Smiley Laughs in the background*
I think it was explained as The Guardians getting rid of magic as best they could because for some reason that was one piece of DC's jank cosmology they could not abide by.
Especially when one leaves tasks unfinished. I know you don't think it's your job, OL, but you really need to check up on things instead of trusting other people's common sense, something we know is in short supply around there...
Not noted is that ultimately, his plan failed utterly in the end. All he did was kill a bunch of people who were ultimately insignificant in the long run, then end up getting himself killed stupidly...
Because very few in leadership positions would have gotten harvested once people knew about it... I wonder how much effort they put into stopping the attacks on the poor.
And Purple rays aren't in wide enough circulation to be commonly available either... Bet that'll get a kick in the pants after this...
Too many unknowns involved to predict anything clearly, ultimately. And because OL has dismissed it as his problem, we'll likely never know until he decides to look in on affairs.
Ah, yes, that expectation that 'You're the Justice League, you should have been able to save everybody, shouldn't you?' I suppose it's a wake-up call DC Earth needed. Since they largely ignored the previous one unless it directly affected them...
Let's hope it doesn't result in a fracturing of the team. They've got enough trouble to deal with without that.
Heh, I have no doubt that if Truggs were in any position to try and gloat, he would call OL and do so..
Oh, god, Batman's going to be even more pissed... The last thing he needs is OL talking to the press...
She sounds worried, doesn't she? Bet she's the unlucky intern who pulled the short straw on making the call...
Given the last time that happened, it got Dana Dearden fired... That sort of reaction is quite reasonable.
Not that they would have shared that with anyone, I bet.
Ah, OL doesn't remember that little encounter, does he? Because time-fuckery.
AS moralrelativity says, this should be ringing bells in OL's head... A pity he can't really investigate it, though.
Not that the time matters much, what with Ring-based physical adjustments...
So the League are keeping the whole Malvolio thing under their cowls, huh? Don't want to spread panic over the existence of a Green-light powered tyrant with a possible nark on for Earth.
And Batman, seeing this, just slumps in his chair, before bending over the counter of the Bat-computer and banging his head off the keyboard...
No doubt Thaddeus Senior would take 'psychopath' as a compliment... And Batman just starts groaning 'Why? Why? Why do I allow anyone to talk to him?'
The more impressive thing is that it worked. At least OL didn't mention that the Pardon had to be global, not just American. Just imagine the ideas some people would get... Like the Joker...
And if the public knows anything about Sivana, they should hopefully be aware that he does love his family, and what would happen if someone hurt one of them...
Or twenty years down the line... But the later they left it, the more likely Earth would hit back harder than they could withstand.
And someone's finally said it to the public. Earth is damn lucky. Damn, damn lucky.
In other words, get off your arses, sort your shit out, and make the world a better place...
...It would be so easy, if you'd just bother to look past your TV screen and think, Humanity.And yet because of forces like Boss Smiley, they'll just slump back down with their beer and pretzels, flip the channel over to the latest inane 'reality' show, and forget.
On the upside, this plotline may just give OL the impetus to actually follow through with that goal. Humanity's had a close call, now it's up to people like him to keep them moving forwards...
And maybe the Joker will suffer a spontaneous turnabout of character and regret everything he's done! ...I can see OL wanting to spend more time in space after this, just to get the bad taste of his goal of improving humanity being wilfully ignored......to replace the cramped and unsanitary hovels...
But that's… Things are going to change, now.
I… But… No one's seen her in months.
I disagree.
I don't believe that he remembers that.
I disagree.
Yes. Attacking the League. Not depopulating entire cities.
That would be better grammar, but that's not what he said.
Thank you, corrected.
Over Reaching.
Thank you, corrected.
Thank you, corrected.
I disagree.
Thank you, corrected.
I thought he remembered Time Trapper after the Krona adventure? I found these quotes:
It's hard to pick up a child when they want to just roll around in the dirt and throw a tantrum
Because he has no way to stop OL from doing anything. OK isn't intimidated by him, and the power disparity is so high, that short of trying to steal OL's ring first, he can't muscle up on him either.
How does that relate to Dearden? I can't remember.
Not really. Anyone following the Orange Lantern's escapades knows that dead people sometimes don't stay dead.
is this true or was it a decoy? please be true.
To the best of the SI's knowledge, it is correct. He's right.
I now want to see the Batman make "Orange Lantern Repellant" Spray. Something that would fit in well with Batman: The Brave and The Bold.
what are you talking about this is one of the best uplift stories i have read yet.
God I hate Batman. Like....I can't even put it into words. I hate the very concept of Batman. I hate "badass" normals BECAUSE of Batman. Like, I wanna read My Hero Acadamia fanfic, but there are too many uber powerful "Quirkless" Izuku fics. Annoys the hell out of me. Why are they all missing the point?! Why are they so determined to suck all the fun out of the setting?!
Didn't know what this was about, clicked the reveal.
