And, honestly, it would be a much more interesting Batman vs. Superman story.

Usually, those stories are about Batman needing to overcome a physically superior foe (Superman), and the only reason he's able to win is because something is always causing Superman to hold back (typically his humanity and/or his friendship with Batman, if it exists in that timeline). We're supposed to side with Batman because he's on the right side.

We never see it from Superman's perspective where he's the guy in the right. If something were to cause Batman to turn evil, and Superman was the guy who needed to stop him, Clark would be fighting his best friend and trying desperately to get him to see the light again. Batman, meanwhile, would be utterly convinced that he's in the right and would go to any means necessary to stop Superman. That's one of the differences between them--in battle, Superman has to hold back, but Batman has to overcome.

Kyle is my favorite, but Geoff Johns proved why Hal is THE Green Lantern.

I just think it's nice to have a Muslim superhero (even if I have some problems with the way Simon's been characterized in the past). If that isn't enough for you, that's fine--it's your prerogative. But comics rarely cater themselves towards me, so I take what scraps I can get.

I've only read the New 52 stuff, Blackest Night/Brightest Day, and the original Green Lantern: Rebirth, but Johns writing of Hal seems more concerned with making Hal look awesome rather than having Hal actually be awesome.
