Batman Gets Chosen... By Sinestro?
From this week's Green lantern # 17. It doesn't spoil anything, but it's too cool not to show you, and it's especially cool if you are a Batman nut like me. Way back in Green lantern #9, Batman donned a GL ring, and it beat the crap out of him to use it. But it also gave him the snazzy costume you see here to the right. It was pretty snazzy and showed that Batman's mind is powerful enough to keep some of the Bat designs in his GL uniform. Also, it was drawn fantastically by Ethan Van Sciver.
This one is drawn by Ivan Reis, the regular artist on Green Lantern now. Ever since OYL, Geoff Johns has started planting the seeds of the Sinestro Corps. This is another one of those seeds. I just thought that it was so cool that Batman is the person most suited to instill fear upon others (the main requirement for the Sinestro Corps, opposite of the GL Corps' requirement of having no fear) in the entire sector of 2814. The friggin' Batman. Just an awsome concept. So here, a Sinestro ring finds Batman, attaches itself to him, and tries to make him part of the Corps. Batman denies it, and it flies off into another part of the issue, which is fantastic by the way, go get it!
