Bruce Wayne vs. Ringless Hal Jordan

Both Hal Jordan and Bruce Wayne are in peak physical condition, so let's strip Batman of his gadgets and the Green Lantern of his power ring. In a pure physical fight between the two, who would win?

Bruce Wayne because I don't know who Hal Jordan is.

Should've read the initial post.

Green Lantern? It makes sense if he's an DC Hero/villain as I'm more an Marvel fan. Thus not heared about him.

Hal Jordan is in verry good condition, but he has no where near the training bruce does. Bruce's gadhets help him in special situations, but he is extreamley capable without them. There isn't much to dispute.

Hal Jordan, with power ring, in peak condition against Batman, he could probably win with fair ease. If he went insane and became parralax, he'd kick Batman's butt. In a non powered ot gadget'd fight, Batman would beat him. Bruce Wayne's probably the second finest martial artist to Shiva, I think her name is.

Hal Jordan's a ladies' man. Batman runs around with an underage boy in his underwear.

+1

But really, Batman would win in an unarmed, unboostedbybull**** match.

Yeah, pretty much.

Hal Jordan's cooler though.

Well, Bruce Wayne and I are ****ing done, professionally, so I'd have to go for Ryan Reynolds.

On the other hand, when a friend of mine tried to explain the Green Lantern to me, she said that he's allergic to a colour. Is that true?

If it is, then I'd be rooting for some kind of intervention from Hawk Girl, who would then be declared the winner.

The green lanterns can not affect anything yellow, and I think it also weakens them. For more on this see: Sinestro.

White Hal Jordan or black Hal Jordan?

Hal Jordan's white, and always has been. I think you're thinking of John Stewart.

Bruce Wayne. Dude's a ninja, and you can't beat a ninja in a fistfight.

Bruce Wayne.

Now, a John Stewart vs. Bruce Wayne fight would be much, much closer.

I'm surprised that anyone things Hal would only lose without his ring. Batman always wins with prep time. As much as it pains me to say it.

Now, Batman had he become a member of the Sinestro Corps versus Green Lantern Hal Jordan? I'm not so sure.

That's because Batman is a rather unique hero in the sense that apart from his lack of super powers, he had no fatal flaw. Green lanters on the other hand are rendered practically useless by anything yellow. Knowing this Bruse created a wepon to take advantage of this should the need ever arise. In fact, he did this for pretty much everyone in the JL.

So ya, I'm for Bats either way.

Save that Hal doesn't have the yellow vulnerability. None of the lanterns do anymore.

The weakness to yellow was caused by the...personification of fear, Paralax, being stored in the central power battery. Once the Lanterns learned about that, any of them that had sufficient willpower to overcome their own fears lost the weakness to yellow. Paralax then escaped and ended up imprisoned in the 4 human power batteries. Since all four humans had repeatedly been able to overcome their fears (Hal and Kyle being able to out-willpower Paralax itself.) none of the GL corps has that weakness anymore.

Or so it is by the end of Sinestro Corps. War. No idea if it's changed by In Blackest Night or not.


And Batman does have vulnerabilities. Bane and Hush have made especial use of them. His main one is his...determination. He pushes himself too hard. So if you throw a lot of stuff at him then eventually his body and mind will start to break down. In addition, he has no super powers, which does leave him vulnerable. Every time he's fought Superman he's noted that the only reason he didn't end up as a smear on the wall is due to Clark's refusal to kill. Even when he's using Kryptonite.

Similarly, Batman's main weapon is fear, and it's been noted that Hal is one of the few people in the universe who isn't scared by him.

Now, to be fair, it has been established that Batman's Brother I satellite could defeat the lanterns, no problem, but since that went rogue and almost ended up killing every single superhero on Earth it's probably safe to say that he's not using it anymore.

I knew the yellow thing was because of paralax, I didn't realise they got rid of it though.

And I guess I miss worded my slef. I mean he doesn't have any weakness because of super powers. He doesn't have a kryptonite if you will. But that's true, he does have weaknesses in personality and of course the lack of super powers. But even without the play of fear, Bruce is still an incredibly skilled fighter, and I think could beat Hal without the ring.

Rookies still have the yellow weakness, but once you pass the rookie stage and make a name for yourself as a Green Lantern you can pretty much overcome it by willpower.
