Connor: In your opinion what's the height of stupidity?
Roy [yelling]: Hey Ollie, how tall are you?
The book this is from is justice league: 5 minute stories.
The reason Clark is chasing Hal on a motorbike is because he's been whammied by Poison Ivy and whammied Clark isn't that smart (Hal just likes motorbikes I guess)
The book includes other highlights such as:
Lex's cheesy lines
Aquaman with a shark plushie
Clark and Bruce undercover
And a smiling, waving Hal
I was at the bookstore the other day and I found a book featuring Hal being chased by Clark on a motorcycle
what gets me about the green lantern corps is that—in addition to being a space fascist nightmare that deforms individuals into agents of its unflinching doctrine and sublimates goodwill into reverence for the law—it's also just really fucking stupid. before critiquing any minutiae aspect of its conduct you have to understand that the glc operates based on a very rudimentary hierarchy of brute force. for all of the guardian's posturing, the only thing justifying their authority as the in-universe law enforcement hegemon is their possession of the most powerful weapon in the universe. and every major appearance of the guardians since the bronze age has demonstrated how utterly out of touch they are. it's not wisdom or even competence keeping the corps in charge, it's the goddamn power ring. the green lantern code of conduct is literally only relevant because the consequence of disobedience is lack of access to the all-powerful weapon, and even then that all depends on the guardians ability to enforce it. the whole institution is fucked as soon as someone (parallax, sinestro, krona, literally anyone, etc) with more material power challenges it—and the guardians know it. which is why they're primarily preoccupied with micromanaging the lanterns' conduct and only personally appear to combat "evil" when it threatens the sanctity of the institution (read: their authority). the yellow weakness only exists as a safeguard against potential abuse!! but like breeds like. what the corps' indoctrination ironically creates is the perfect conditions for developing authoritarian ideology. thus the respective "falls" of its greatest agents are not aberrations but a product of its design—refer to this post by @dctrfate. any difference of intent becomes irrelevant when everybody’s a fucking cop. there is no reason for the green lantern corps to exist outside of its own self-justification.
