One of my favourite moments is in green Lantern corps when Kyle Rayner (my favourite Lantern) is fighting Sinestro without there rings and sinestro gets a hit in and asks who taught him how to fight and Kyle just upper cuts him clean and says batman 😂.

11/10 "Could have been better" - IGN

[@Littlekiraneko]

Number one is well deserved

[@trence5]

+Littlekiraneko AGREED.

[@TheHarshWay]

+Littlekiraneko "The City Without Fear" what an epic conclusion.

[@MetalMadness_00]

And fitting after everything that happened before that

[@reenachauriya4931]

Truly THE BRIGHTEST DAY

[@ipicy909]

i though there would be moments with sinestro saying that hal and he always were friends

[@GiovanniAlckmimRusso]

+ipicy909 That moment was fantastic.

[@ipicy909]

Giovanni Alckmim Russo yeah

[@ipicy909]

fabrizzio monsalve i don't remember exactly

[@nassuman]

+ipicy909 It's at the end of Wrath of the First Lantern

[@ipicy909]

nassuman oooooooooo yeah

[@KalvinEllis]

No.1 is such a beautiful moment. Totally agree.

[@MetalMadness_00]

It makes me take back what I said and shows how far Hal has come since dying

[@denzellmovies]

I totally agree with you, nr. 1 was AWESOME (but why on Oa is Simon Baz your favourite?)

[@afifi1828]

this is my theory, ermm perhaps Joshua Yehl have "arab blood" or born in Lebanon etc. Just like Geoff Johns which his family is Lebanese or some country in middle east.

[@tableslayer1]

the guy can like who ever he wants bud.

[@denzellmovies]

Thanks for telling me, bud. I didn't know people were allowed to have opinions.

[@KalvinEllis]

+JustDenzell I follow him on twitter and I often read his articles on IGN, he's always been a huge John Stewart fanboy. Just look at the thumbnail. I guess he must have changed his mind. lol

[@mobsta163]

Apparntly, Robert vendetti hates simon

[@devinmurdock5717]

in brightest day in blackest night no evil shall escape my sight leg those who worship evils might beware my power green lanterns light happy seventy fifth birthday green latern

[@GamerX007]

Just glad to see some John Stewart love, my favorite GL.

[@RyanTheLion335]

I'm sorry that Simon Baz is your favorite GL.

[@crimsonvampyre602]

Great list. Hard to argue. Sinestro Corps War was incredible, with lots of amazing moments. One Green Lantern moment I've always loved is when Kyle Rayner and Kilowog help fix the decimated old Thanagarian home world during the Rann/Thanagar war. they use their rings to terraform the planet and put it back in its orbit. it's not as exciting as some of the ones in here, but it always stuck with me as it showed the many facets a Green Lantern has and just how much you could do with that ring.

[@Adres501]

where the hell does a whole city get green lightbulbs?

[@crimsonvampyre602]

Spencer's Gifts?

[@ChrisPPotatoIDC]

+Nils Knell Ebay

[@swng314]

+Nils Knell Wrap it in a green semi-transparent plastic? Supercool it to increase its wavelength to green?

[@CannonBolt112]

+Nils Knell In a story as cool as Sinestro Corps War, you just don't care.

[@mxtilldeath9850]

paint em yourself.

[@KalvinEllis]

Sinestro calling Hal his friend should be here, too.

[@sladewilson2451]

Epic moment. "The sad part is, we will always be friends." I haven't read the book in awhile, hopefully it's the right quote I said.

[@tam_3413]

Why?

[@KalvinEllis]

Tamara Pereira Cause it was awesome?

[@tam_3413]

KalvinEllis ok

[@KalvinEllis]

Tamara Pereira :)

[@dtheo47]

Blackest Night.......Kingdom Come........Day of Vengeance.....DC's best issues EVERRRRR!.....

[@darkguy555]

there are so many awesome green lantern moments, i liked it when hal hugged his kid self or when hal became a black lantern to stop the first lantern. there was a lot of cool moments

[@MrSaLVideos]

Happy 75 years Green Lantern Corps.Long Live DC Comics!

[@carmine-jamesguglielmucci9173]

Hal Jordan = greatest dc character ever !

[@DropkickNation]

Awesome video. Please do more of these.

[@olivwa123]

my fave is when hal flew a jet to catch up to a renegade manhunter, ejected from the jet, landed on the flying manhunter, tearing its head off and recharging his ring from 0% to 100% before splatting on the ground

[@maderiphon]

Seeing number one brought out some tears. One of the best and most emotional moments in comic books.

[@teomanevran5143]

Do you think about Top 10 Deathstroke moments ?

[@jesabr12]

+Teoman Evran This is GL anniversary that's why they did this.

[@8787gui]

+Teoman Evran I think it is easier to do 10 times Deathstroke got rekt by horrible writing.

[@teomanevran5143]

+Concon Yes,I know but they did Top 10 lists about characters who haven't got 50th or 75th years anniversaries yet so They can do a Top 10 Deathstroke the Terminator moments also this is his 35th year in the Dc Universe

[@teomanevran5143]

+Guilherme Pereira Yes Deathstroke couldn't get the place he deserves but he has got lots of deadliest moments for example Identity Crises # 3 Deathstroke vs JL,Villans for Hire Atom vs Deathstroke and his team,Deathstroke the Terminator #7City of assassins Deathstroke defates Batman,Forever Evil Deathstroke saves Batman from Snakeman,Deathstroke New 52 #20 he Fight whit his own family,Deathstroke New 52 #12 he blow up the Main Man (Lobo) and the best moment for me the New teen titans #83 He kills his own son for stop Azarath.

[@8787gui]

+Teoman Evran all I know is that in animations and video games he gets destroyed all the time. like in arkham origins, beware the bat, son of batman and more

[@kws2534]

Speaking of Sinatra Corp War, I absolutely love the moment when Ganthet and Sayd show up and power John, Hal, Kyle, and Guy's ring as they recite the oath. I loved that moment. Such a rush.

[@jwallE93]

Where's Kyle becoming Ion then giving up the power to restart the entire Corps, Or Zero Hour when Hal Sacrificed himself killing the sun eater and reignite the sun, or when Hal killed a guardian, John killing Mogo, and easily the greatest Green Lantern moment of all time Geoff Johns writing the book.

[@Burning-Twilight]

+jwallE93 1.that was actually the last night not zero hour. 2.the guardian you are referring to is krona

[@mxtilldeath9850]

geoff is the man. my absolute favorite

[@mxtilldeath9850]

by the way i wonder is johns and john stewart a coincodence or was it done on purpose? johns john.s ?

[@Burning-Twilight]

Mxtilldeath Geoff was only 2 years old when john stewart was created.

[@Brentster1953]

Thnx for heads up on 75th Anniversary. Back in time I recall having a green light in my bedroom, and green things, like skateboard.

[@brenohenrique6666]

Joshua is so cool, not that surprised for him to be in this video, he expressed several times his love for the green lantern.

[@lukasszalbot1636]

I haven't read any of the older green lantern moments, number does sound like it deserved it but I kinda like the moment when Kyle Rainer becomes white lantern more. I like the balckest night (and yes I'd love to see it as a film but it would probably have to happen after the movie as the next big bad) but I love that moment. Kyle saying love is forgiveness and then he is healed and becomes a white lantern and wipes out the entire third army and looming onto the star sapphire core's home planet. It's defiantly one of my favourite scene in the new 52 green lantern.

[@RomahkiinYoutube]

#1 made me teary eyed, even though i haven't read that story line, truly a great moment.

[@gionova1]

Hal killing Krona should have been featured.

[@noahbathgate7133]

Blackest Night and War of the Green Lanterns are my favourite comics

[@johnnyquick5189]

6 and 1 are some of my favorite moments in any comic

[@highlantern]

I remember that in the early 80s, I had that 3 parts saga, the number 10 in this list. But it was in Spanish, since I live in Mexico. I found it really amazing and inspiring, and was the reason for me to become a GL fan.

[@juanisking]

My personal fave moment was in GL #20, Geoff Johns' finale, where Hal gets his green ring back.

[@Nobody-ty9ve]

Green lantern my favorite hero

[@nightravin]

My fave moment doesn't end on an Up-Beat. The last page of the first issue of The Sinestro Corps War. Kyle, possessed by Parallax, kneeling alongside Sinestro, before Cyborg Superman, Superboy-Prime, the AntiMonitor & the Manhunters.

[@xXdarrynXx]

love that blackest night tshirt.

[@GINGI9519]

joshua is soooo adorable

[@Ambushbug]

epic line up bro #DCcomics all day wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

[@neiltemple123]

I love Guy Gardner! (the last 10 years, not the immature Keith Giffen version) I think writers like Peter J. Tomasi have really helped change the reputation of Guy Gardner from clown to bad ass! RESPECT GUY! (BTW you missed him in the description)

[@neiltemple123]

As long as he has red hair lol

[@TheShockVox]

The only moment that's worth mentioning is the moment Kyle made a Gurren Lagann construct.

[@Morgil27]

#6: wasn't that the fight with the "epa" sound effect?

[@davidtrigueros5222]

Hell yea green lantern is the best

[@chaosembodiment9395]

I need that shirt!

[@flynnnicolaou]

Ice bear would kill to know when green lantern 25 anniversary is coming out

[@ChronozG]

LOL! Green Lantern Simon.... just LOL!!

[@walterjames2976]

i can't be the only one that wants Milagro Reyes as an elsewolrd green lantern

[@lorddarkseid4009]

anyone have a name for the lantern that looks kind of like a werewolf that's under Hal Jordan at 0:40? He keeps showing up in stuff... this truly vexes me

[@kenichidc]

I thought it was going to be Joshua Ovenshire - the Jovenshire

[@chojikiba]

Kyle becoming a White Lantern

[@GiovanniAlckmimRusso]

Nice list, but you guys forgot some big moments from Green Lantern #20, the lest Green Lantern story written by Geoff Johns. Like when Hal become Black Lantern in order to Volthoom, when Sinestro tells Hal that he killed the Guardians, and then he tells Hal that they will always be friends and the future of each character.

[@johnnyquick5189]

+Giovanni Alckmim Russo cant spoil the finale though

[@GiovanniAlckmimRusso]

johhny quick This story was made one year ago

[@Kyubone]

Haha I like the guy's shirt, says Batman in Swedish :))

[@NFLDude56]

Shout's out.

[@lukeallotey239]

Emerald Knight not crusader right?

[@Blackwing2040]

Blackest Night was the best Dc event, John Stewart is and always will be the best GL ever

[@lancea5569]

Hal Jordan will always be the best for me, second is Kyle of course :D

[@Blackwing2040]

oOLanceOo Hal and Kyle are my second favorite GLs

[@lancea5569]

***** Cool :D

[@Jon155mt]

Blackwing2040 Agreed. John Stewart will always be the best Green Lantern of all time.

[@CazeNorfe]

Yes. It did.

[@tomdog2004]

how could your fav green lantern be Simon baz

[@HalJordan99]

I'm so awesome!

[@jesabr12]

I would love a blackest Night movie but we are not going to get it in at least 10 years from now. It would require a lot of world building before it can happen.

[@DistractedJedi]

Alas, the sweepstakes is only available to US residents...

[@masonwalden8245]

What about 75th anniversary of Hawkman???!!!

[@lordnerdracula]

and where is the Hal Jordan as parallax? :D ...And how is possible than all a city have green lights?....with Luck I have the whites :D

[@UtterFlatulence]

I like Simon, but he's had like 25 appearances total.

[@jebussubzero]

Sir I just have one question for you... Where can I buy that sexy shirt you are wearing?

[@joshaura6722]

[@camaroesters6994]

[@theonlychadman]

[@mjstory1976]

[@j4y_ness158]

what about when hal kills krona come on people???

[@tornne2233]

Pensez a lettre des sou titre pour les fans francais

[@robertjones5441]

Wow. Alan Scott blowing a hole STRAIGHT THROUGH APOCALYPSE doesn't get on the list?!?!? Bull.

[@Anni3sgotagun]

+Robert Jones Exactly imo Alan is easily the most powerful green lantern even being limited to earth.

[@badassgregory]

Thank god there was none of Venditti's work on here.

[@sladewilson2451]

Venditti isn't bad.

[@matheusbarbosa8759]

[@bigmike9783]
