He employs his ring like a detective , tracking down the auras of his adversaries, and finds a way to become invisible possibly by bending light around himself. He even creates spy satellites around the Earth to alert him of trouble spots.
However, his obsessive need to focus on Gotham City and not patrol his space sector puts him into conflict with the Guardians who threaten to take his ring away. When Bruce becomes too uncontrollable, the Guardians not only send a group of Green Lanterns to take back his ring — they recruit a young Superman, Wonder Woman, and Flash as their agents.

Dec 19, Jamie rated it liked it. The first time I read this about twenty some-odd years ago, it was an exciting idea for a great story and I absolutely loved it. Now, the art is a little outdated, and the concept a little overdone.
Still a good read for nostalgia's sake, but not as much of a classic as I once thought it was. Jan 27, Trey Kennedy rated it liked it Shelves: graphic-novels-and-comics. This is one of the better Elseworld books out there. Other parts of the story seem unrealistic even in this world, but it ends well and in an intriguing way.

A pretty interesting introduction to the premise that Bruce Wayne becomes a Green Lantern rather than Batman. May 21, Alicia Riley rated it really liked it Shelves: comic-dc-elseworld. Jul 26, C. In seconds, the bat will crash through, terrifying Bruce and giving him the inspiration to create his later-ego, Batman. At least, that's how it's supposed to happen.
But this is Elseworld and in this version, the bat is distracted by a brilliant green flash coming from the sky originally written Oct. But this is Elseworld and in this version, the bat is distracted by a brilliant green flash coming from the sky and crashing down in the woods surrounding Wayne Manor.
As Bruce sits, pondering the murder of his parents which led him to this point, a voice speaks. The occupant is dying and in his last few moments, he bequeaths to Bruce his power ring. Bruce Wayne is now the Green Lantern of space sector And now he has the power to carry out his mission, which is avenging the deaths of his parents and getting crime out of Gotham City. In Darkest Knight answers that question very well. And dig that title.
Batman has been, for many years now, the Dark Knight. And part of the Green Lantern creed is "In brightest day, in darkest night", so I was really impressed with the clever wordplay in the title. Hal Jordan took his role as protector of the entire sector of space, which includes Earth, seriously. Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, is more concerned with cleaning up Gotham and protecting mainly the populace of his hometown. But he is called away to space at one point to depose an evil Green Lantern who has begun abusing his power: Sinestro of space sector The Guardians banish Sinestro to an anti-matter dimension, but once there, Sinestro is met by someone who was expecting him, someone who gives him another power ring, this one yellow--the one weakness of the GL power rings.
Somehow Sinestro makes it to earth where he assumes his new role as Bruce Wayne's archenemy. I'm assuming that, the Gotham City slant aside, the anti-matter dimension and the strange welcome committee is part of the original Sinestro origin. Mike Barr did a great job of combining aspects of the Batman story with aspects of the Green Lantern story to create this all-new version. And Jerry Bingham was great on the art with lots of action, strong characters, and detailed settings.
I'd be happy to read any monthly title these two collaborated on. Digital Chameleon did the colors and while I don't normally condone farming out jobs to a firm that specializes Richard Starkings and Comicraft, anyone? I did have a slight problem with the letters, provided by Pat Brosseau. The normal dialogue balloons were fine, but why is it everyone insists on making Bruce's inner dialogue in cursive, as if written as a diary entry?
If you want the inner dialogue in first-person, great, but everyone please stop putting it in cursive. It's distracting. That small qualm aside, In Darkest Knight was a great Elseworld story, one of my favorites, and I'd love to see a sequel. Originally published in and since I haven't read comics regularly in about 6 years, who knows, there might be a sequel. If anyone knows of one, let me know.

Call this 3. In Darkest Knight is an Elseworlds tale that ponders what would have been had the dying Green Lantern that crashed on Earth bequeathed his ring to Bruce Wayne, a soul driven by his own sense of justice and regret. Will the young, dark hero embrace his new responsibilities? How will he choose to wield his sudden near limitless power?
Taking the opportunity of a Kindle release I revisited this story for the first time since it's original publication twenty years ago.
I enjo Call this 3. I enjoyed it quite a bit more than I remember doing back then. As usual with this type of stand alone story a bit too much is crammed in and some of the cameos from both heroes' normal mythos are rather tortured. That said there are also a lot of clever nods and details and the overall story is solid and imaginative. It also avoids the trap of trying to tie everything up.
This is a complete and satisfying story, but not all loose ends are resolved and there was room left for more. In Darkest Knight is a fun read which is a clear product of its time and pretty much exactly as advertised - an over the top, condensed adventure answering "what if Earth's Green Lantern was Batman"?
Dec 12, Prasidh Ramson rated it liked it Shelves: graphic-novels-batman. Holy Oa, Batman! What would happen if Batman received a ring that enabled him to have Green Lantern's powers? This is the premise of this Elseworlds novel. After obtaining the ring from a dying Lantern, he is summoned to Oa and given an important mission to bring in a rogue Lantern on another planet. I found the art Holy Oa, Batman! I found the art to be very detailed and almost, 80's-like. The action sequences were fun, playful and exciting.
The writing and storytelling adequately crosses over both Batman and Lantern universes. At the same time, I think one will find more appreciation as a Green Lantern fan, as there are many nods to Lantern stories and characters from the past, which I may have missed. Overall, an exciting read for the new and old Batman fan. Jul 25, Dovile rated it it was ok.

But with Hal's ring almost depleted, Hal needed all three of them to combine their willpower and fuel the ring to create a space warp back to Earth.
There is only one Batman. But don't tell Damian Wayne that. But Damian has an ego matched only by his temper, and he already sees the mantle of Batman as his by right. This might be considered as a bit of a cheat, but in some ways, he sees himself as Batman, now and in the future.
In the series' last issue, we saw a series of images of the further adventures the two would have had together, and one of those adventures featured Damian fully-powered by a rage-fueled Red Lantern ring.
When the villain known as Despero attacked the Guardians of the Universe and the Green Lantern Corps, Hal Jordan made the ultimate sacrifice to protect them all. In doing so, his ring found its way to Earth, in the possession of Batman. When it came time to fight Despero, the Lanterns couldn't let Batman wear the ring, so instead they combined their powers to make him a Green Lantern suit that was powered by his will instead, and with this power at his command, Batman proved instrumental in the defeat of the evil Despero.
The Lego Batman videogames proved incredibly popular from their inception, so much so in fact that they inspired the character to be featured in The Lego Movie , which in turn led to Batman's very own popular spinoff movie, the aptly-titled The Lego Batman Movie.
But things got particularly interesting in the third video game in the series, Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. In this game, there were many characters from the DC Comics pantheon that players could unlock like Firestorm, Hawkman and Green Arrow, but also many different costumes for Batman. Among these was a Green Lantern Batman suit, named Darkest Knight, a suit with a green cowl that allowed Batman to fly and shoot green energy. And, if all that wasn't enough, there was also a Sinestro Corps version that could be unlocked.
When Batman died at the hands beams of Darkseid, he was hurtled on a harrowing journey through the past. But, Batman being who he is, he found a way to come back to the present after having been gone so long.
But before he would step back into the cape and cowl, Bruce Wayne donned a different costume — the Insider Suit — to secretly observe his allies, to see that state of things after his disappearance. This ingenious stealth suit was designed to be much different than the Batman costume. It had various powers like super-speed, flight and heat vision for brief amounts of time. But the most awesome power it had at its disposal was the ability to harness willpower and generate the energy and power of a Green Lantern.
It might not have been an official Lantern ring, but this Insider suit certainly counts. The chair, which formerly belonged to Metron, is an all-powerful cosmic artifact that holds the answers to all questions in the known universe.
