Why do you think Hal was selected? The dude was a test pilot. He could have died at ANY MOMENT. He’s a risk taker. Why do you think the Guardians don’t like him most of the time?
The only reason Hal was selected was because Daredevil is in an entire other universe.
A man with no fear who is blind would be the greatest green lantern ever. Probably.
If being blind is all it takes, then how do you explain that one JLA arc, Tower of Babel. Y’know, the one where Kyle’s willpower combined with the ring caused him to go blind? After he went blind, he couldn’t do jack. Only Batman could save the day. Because it’s ALL SKILL, BABY.
Daredevil can smell really well, so he could just smell out the shapes when creating with the ring.
He’ll also he’s a lawyer, so he doesn’t need art/eyeballs like pussy Kyle to use the ring.
A man who is blind will not be able to perceive light, nor the color green–hence, he would not even be able to fully understand the concept of a Green Lantern in the first place.
Unless, of course, Alan Moore writes the story. He has a crafty way of getting around such problems.
Daredevil knows what Green is. He saw green before he got into his accident. I mean, I’m thinking he did.
I’m sure he’d be able to figure out that the ring he is wearing is green after being told he’s the new GREEN lantern of earth.
Oh, I am definitely willing to accept that DD has more willpower than the entire GL Corps (Mogo included) combined.
Lol. Smell out the shapes? I love you, man.
Bahahahaha. I just had a mental image of the other Green Lanterns guiding him into the audience chamber on Oa. “No, Mr. Murdock, your seat’s over here… no, that’s the drinking fountain… no, that’s the mini-fridge… no, that’s Katma Tui…”
Which brings me to my point: who wouldn’t use blindness as an excuse for gropage?
lol…i can see the guardians try to walk him into a wall for shits and giggles.
okay I found them guys my numbers were off on some of them.
comes from the dc source books
waitt wtf? how is your willpower cynical?
he had the willpower to use it but because he doesnt really believe in the power of will he cant utilize it properly
john stewart is the only green lantern to have stored the power and been able to use it without the ring right?
Didn’t Batman will existence back together at some point or am I insane?
Batman’s willpower did save the world during Morrison’s JLA run, during the Mageddon storyline. If not for him, Superman would have pussied out and the universe would have perished.
Come on. Who are you gonna believe? Some sissy sourcebook or GRANT MORRISON on ACID?
this source book was written around the time Hal became the Spectre so you guys gotta keep that in mind about some of those will powers
and the explanations behind the numbers

ganthet is 31+ so is lucifer spectre has a mere 28 lol
I believe there was a side story about someone from a blind race getting the power ring. He used sounds instead of light for it.
lol grant morrison on anything i believe.
RockBogart: seriously…how many times have kyle and hal lost their rings and gone pussy cuz their like shit im fucked without my ring. good old john stewart stores his power just incase.
Yes, the F Sharp Bell. That was the Alan Moore story I was alluding to.
I don’t know if it’s true but I think Batman has a greater willpower than Superman, because he can conquer his fear… Unlike Superman who only supresses it.
