that sums up the entire DC movie universe, really. Past the nolan batman movies, the rest have been general shit that has only been playing catch up with Marvel.

[@Japheth19]

She isn't trying to defeat her father at first. She's stalling hoping that her father will see what he's become at some point through the battle. She is complete control of the situation, even when she gets pinned to the wall. He takes off her ring and puts it on himself. No force in the universe could force that ring onto the finger of somebody unworthy unless the one in control of that ring allows it. If she wasn't in control, her suit would have disappeared when he took the ring from her, but the fact that she still has the suit and her father is able to put it on himself is proof that she is still in full control of the ring and is simply letting him do it so that she can end the fight. She took her father out pretty quickly, showing that she could have easily defeated him the whole time. She was just waiting for her father to come to his senses, but recognizes that her father is lost, and ends his cause.

[@jossgoyanko7006]

I think you're exaggerating how much control she had over the fight. At 1:00 when she thrusts forward with the spear the head breaks off. The ring is clearly able to penetrate his armor, as indicated when, at the end of the fight, it's completely blasted off. The spear is aimed roughly around where a human heart would be, and although neither combatant is human I think it would be reasonable to say that such a blow would be lethal. The only explanation is that at that moment Laira tries but fails to kill her opponent because ultimately she lacks the will to kill her own father. This indicates an internal struggle occurring within Laira during the fight, rather than the image of a calm warrior totally in control from the very beginning. Does she kill the man who raised her to fulfill her duty? Does she fight against her own people for the greater good of the Sector? Where do her loyalties really lie? Is she still that little girl who always runs to her father? Or is she a Green Lantern? I think the reason her father was able to remove the ring was because deep down, she doesn't really want it, she honestly wishes things could go back to being simple. She misses being daddy's little girl. But seeing her father holding the most powerful weapon in the universe with such greed and lust for power forces her to face the truth. He's changed. And so has she.

[@rinsavercool912]

Joss Goyanko There is also the possibility that the ring itself wouldn't let her kill anyone.

[@jossgoyanko7006]

Karin Savercool Well in the comics that works a little differently. Prior to the Sinestro Corps War, any Ring that detected murderous intent in the user would automatically enter lockdown, preventing the user from creating constructs or firing energy blasts. That didn't happen here, so presumably they were ignoring that part of the canon,

[@aislife3088]

Japheth19 deep

[@IronDino]

Not necessarily. Batman was able to remove Hal's ring due to a simple laps in concentration. And his suit only dissolved when he realized the ring was missing. Also, if a ring senses a connection with the one trying to force it on, it can go on (by probably won't activate).

[@Artisan1979]

1:25 he takes a moment to pause at the sight of his late wife, and the very daughter he's been pummelling up to that point...and still continues his assault on this pathetic quest for honor at the cost of his relationship with his child. He is even worse a father than he is a leader.

I personally think that this Green Lantern interpretation is one of the best. It has good characters, decent character development, and it gets rid of those hokey white gloves. Most importantly though, are these 2 details. 1: Each individual Green Lantern has their own way of using their rings, and they create constructs that they would have used on their own planets. 2: Nathan Filllion as Hal Jordan. That is a damn perfect voice for that Green Lantern, just like how Phil Lamarr is the perfect voice for John Stewart.

Intriguing... In most scenarios where a lantern's ring is stolen, it registers the new wielder's power over it's respective aspect almost immediately, and should it be lacking, normally it just comes right off, yet in this case, it didn't register anything... Instead, it almost seemed like she was capable of remote manipulation of the ring. Fascinating indeed.

For those who think the ring didn't register because of her will. Remember, she's still the wielder, until death. Him putting on the ring is just that. Putting it on. So even if it was on his finger, he can't use it. Not unless she dies and it chose him. That's how it works.

[@dhunter1133]

Not in canon. Hal Jordan's ring has worked for both Green Arrow and Batman in various storylines, and when Hal went nuts and became Parallex he collected the rings of every GL he defeated, including Sinestro's yellow ring from Guy Gardner. You can either say that her father did not have the will to invoke the ring (canon) or that the rules are whatever the writer wants them to be for any given storyline (the harsh reality of comic books).

It would pick someone else and he'd still have squat. Why is he after an artifact that he can never use? He should know how it works by now. He's seen it in action before.

But DC screwed up so many characters in the NEW 52 so I have my doudts about them. For one Barbara Gordon, they fucked up so many of their characters its not funny.

[@judyhopps9380]

fighting amidst the family photos is just beautiful.

[@xhango1313]

This is one of the most satisfying and triumphant fucking scenes in all of DC animation

[@Qwellen]

IMHO all these comments about her being a weak GL are missing the point. I think she deliberately set him up. First to test his character and second to get him to take the ring so she could strip his armor. If she had just handed it to him he would have suspected something was up. I think this is proven with her monologue at 2:30. From that point on she kicks his ***, he never lands another blow.

[@hmrhuang]

I agree completely. When the ring was taken from her, an astute observer would think "Why is she still in her GL costume without the ring?...." OOOOHHHHHH.................=)

[@Wilvin]

Wow. She started fighting better after she loses the ring and takes a spear to the shoulder? Impressive, I guess.

[@BlueDemonofFire]

Well, her father didn't have that overpowered armor anymore either.

[@smoofoperator]

BlueDemonofFire so what, the guy has a point. the armor didn't make her fight in such a poor way. everything she did while he had the armor on was just so stupid it was laughable. and then oh armor goes off, oh now i can fight like never before, really?

[@BlueDemonofFire]

Sigurd Jack The hits she landed while that armor was on broke her weapons, and it gave him the ability to fly. Once the armor was off, all she really needed were her bare hands to beat him, which I doubt would have been nearly as effective if she tried those same moves earlier.

[@smoofoperator]

that's not the point. the point is her EVERYTHING is better. her fighting was shit. if she coulda done what she did in the end before, then she should've been able to figured out other stuff to do against him. Logic.

[@HardcoreKing18]

Sigurd Jack Yellow negates Green Lantern powers,since his armor is indeed yellow, she couldn't touch him until he put the ring on and she exploded it. You guys really should learn your lantern history, the guy in the yellow armor bears a striking resemblance to sinestro as well. He's a Yellow lantern without the ring.

[@analothor]

this scene alone had more emotion then all of BvS put together

[@gennigfox8368]

The character development and the story alone was so investing, I forgot this was a Green Lantern movie.

Pretty good fighting scene tbh.

[@SirCowdog]

Question: Why is it that every time there's a power that relies on concentration and imagination, the people using the power have such limited imagination? Spears? Arrows? That's it?

[@Kaz3rOth]

+SirC0wd0g Because the authors weren't green lanterns...buddy.

[@SirCowdog]

+Kickaz3 Lux You don't need to be a green lantern to have an imagination.

[@Taospark]

+SirC0wd0g Depends on the person, Laira was a trained warrior before she got the ring as was Jon Stewart. Kyle Rayner was an artist and he does more interesting stuff with his ring as does Hal Jordan who is more of a cocky joker and test pilot.

[@SnakeMan448]

+SirC0wd0g They don't need anything flashy, just useful. Plus, it's best to use things you're familiar with; you'll get distracted by your imagination and get cut down.

[@TripleTowerStudios]

+SirC0wd0g She's summoning, what I would arguably call, sensible armaments. Should she have been fighting him with a dinosaur?

[@crhu319]

Love how she uses a Wonder Woman fight style: lasso, spear, swords, wrestling moves....

[@TheKisameHoshikagi]

I honestly think the whole "not killing" thing makes the ring 50% less effective, imagine the posibilities with something like that, but now narrow them down to things that aren't letal... see what I mean... plus, green lantern is one my fav characters, but it might be because of what he can do rather than what he actually does, the dude below is right, they're always "giant fist" and "green beams", but where are ALL the other things you can do with it?

[@RockLegend2A]

Yeah, if they could just make simple guns out of the Green Lantern energy, they would probably double in effectiveness.

[@LostMercenary99]

The whole no lethal force rule was eventually removed in The Sinestro Corps Wars but not every Lantern would use it. Killowog especially.

[@nataliawashington872]

It should be less “no killing” and more “no killing unnecessarily” if you have no choice but to do it okay then do it, but try to defeat your enemy without killing them unless you absolutely have to

[@matthewclark5612]

It's awesome, until you remember that her dad's just pissed because he didn't get the ring.

[@MatiasVarela-pn2yr]

She reminds me a lot of the Drukkaris from Warhammer 40k

[@Devilknight895]

they should make a green lantern tv animates series were hal and laia meet by him being attacked by a monster and she comes to help him only to find out when they get back that they have to work together as partners to investigate a sector.

[@drmayeda1930]

It's usually one green lantern per space sector. It would need to be a major situation for the guardians to send another lantern in. Thantos from Marvels infinity war or Galactus would be an example.
