Bash supes mood go!

*Insert view of the watchtower* *cartoon zoom in to inside*
Hal Jordon just arrested a yellow lantern hanging around earth. Passing by the meeting room on the way to the holding area, Hal barely has time to notice the yellow core member depower when the ring flies away, both parties looking shocked.
Pan to the meeting room. Batman is, as always, sulking in a corner, Superman is scolding Connor. Phantom is chatting with Wonder Woman at the end of the table.
Out of nowhere, Superman is stopped mid sentence by a yellow light hovering in front of his face.
[Kal-El, you have the power to cause great fear]
Suddenly, it gets cut off by a great *snap*. Everyone turns to look at the sound, only to see Phantom, still seated but his head is now turned 180° starring straight at the ring. His eyes drift to Connor, the to supes, and finally back to the ring.
In an instant, Danny replaces the ring, floating between superman and Connor. With a mighty 'thunk' it (the ring) turns to dust against the reinforced far wall of the room.
Holding superman by the throat, Danny's face turns to a grimace, his mouth becomes what can only be described as a pit of living sawblades.
Whit a voice like pressure washing a chalkboard with glass dust in slow-motion, he shouts:
"LiStEn hERe YOU LitTLE shiIT! I wiILL sHOVEe the REmaINS of KrYPTon so FAr up yOUr asS, you'll NEver seE YOur POWers agAIN!!"
The halbarry brainrot is endless.
I need to start actually reading comics so here's me asking what to start with and recs! I would like to read DC, Superman, Batman, and Robin, Young Justice, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern! I know there is a lot out there so I need help sorting through it!
I see what you did there Mr. Clay Mann
Hal, interrupting Barry mid-sentence: Hold up. You were in Gotham? Batman’s Gotham? ‘No-Meta-in-Gotham’ Gotham?
Barry: Yeah? Bats needed my forensic expertise. It was so cool. We traced-
Hal: Not fair. I want to go to Gotham
Barry: Ask Batman

Green Lantern, thinking about how he’s going to kill The Flash: You want me to go in there *gestures to open manhole* In the sewer. To fight an alligator.
Batman: Killer Croc is a man
Green Lantern: That looks like a crocodile and eats people.
Batman: Yes.
Green Lantern: What about him? Make him do it *gestures to Red Robin*
Red Robin: Can’t
Batman: He can’t.
Green Lantern: Why not?
Red Robin: Don’t have a spleen
Batman: He doesn’t have a spleen.
Green Lantern:
Red Robin, over coms: Did you guys hear that? Green Lantern just told me he wants me to fucking die
Coms: *explodes as everybody speaks at once*
Jaykyle enemies to lovers misunderstanding AU where they hatefuck once during Countdown to Final Crisis and part ways. Jason becomes Star Sapphire from a different mechanism than usual just because he's so powered by love, and forgets to mention it to just about everyone but Carol. Cue a very confused Kyle being accosted by a bunch of curious/angry bats and/or outlaws who think the reason why Jason's struggling with his power (his magic keeps exploding in his face) is because Kyle broke his heart. (It's not, Jason just needs to learn about self-love). Upon learning that, Kyle goes through three different crises in ten minutes and decides that while he still doesn't like Jason he has to "take responsibility" and "make this right" because he thinks Jason loved him and was being defensive of Kyle's hostility and he used and ditched him, so he decides to help Jason with his powers and resolve the situation. Eventually this is what they needed to give eachother a chance and they fall in love, but god does Jason laughs his ass off when he finally learns about the misunderstanding.
A very important thing to me about the batfam magical girl AU is that the rest of the characters are classic dc comics characters. Which means that while they have many similarities (magical girls are like lantern corps with more glitter and less police anyway, and the magical batfam story can get really dark and tragic at times), they're constantly faced with the clash between comics logic and magical girl anime logic. By which I mean:
______
Bruce, waking up the morning after adopting Dick on impulse and then sleeping the sleep of the dead: Wait, since when do I have a son? Eh, it doesn't matter.
Clark, who was listening into Gotham for whatever reason: The fuck it doesn't?
_____
Lex Luthor: How did you know about my evil evil plan?
Tim: A little bird told me.
Kon: Really, robs?
*cue glittery red robin with a crescent moon on its head landing on Tim's shoulder and speaking in an annoyingly high-pitched voice*
_____
Jason: With the power of love and this gun I found-
Kyle: Can you be serious for one fucking second?
Jason: No actually I am. I was gonna shoot the guy and accidentally left my heart open to channel the energy of the Galaxy and in doing so I saw the man for all that he could be and the magic of the Robin and the Wolf combined to make the gun magic and when the bullet hit him it changed the man on a fundamental level and he realised he wanted to follow his lost dream of selling portraits by the beach instead of trafficking people.
Kyle: what-
Jason: he died a few minutes later though. I did still shoot him in the heart.

After Justice League shenanigans lead to a multiverse portal opening:
Failsafe!Batman: -so I pulled out the shark repellent to fight he jokerized space sharks, and then I fell from the moon-
Magical!Batman: That doesn't make any sense! Shark repellent spray is an absurd thing to have in your utility belt and besides, you don't just fall off from the moon!
Green Arrow : Finally somebody said it.
Magical!Batman: You have to take the magic portal on the other side of the moon!
Green Arrow: ...Spoke too soon.
Lantern AU part 2
(This is part of an AU in which some of the lantern corps work differently for a bunch of reasons, here's a post explaining it:

Kon: Holy shit, Rob, what's with the makeover?
Tim: Um yeah, so I guess I'm a Green Lantern now.
Kon: Well damn, I die and you become a whole new superhero? When did that happen?
Tim: Uh, somewhere between attempts 76 and 88 I think...
Kon: What?
Tim: What?

Cass: ...
Floating indigo ring:...
Cass: *squints*
Floating indigo ring: *flickers*
Cass: *tilts her head*
Floating indigo ring: *flips around itself*
Cass: *blinks*
The double dozen of goons she was busting: ...we could... Leave you guys to it?
Cass and the floating indigo ring: Shhh.

Steph: Hey dad, it's visiting hour.
Arthur Brown: Stephanie? What are you doing in jai-
Steph: *punches him in the throat*
Steph: *kicks him in the shin*
Steph: *punches him in the face with a bright green giant fist construct*
Steph, looking down at the green power ring on her finger: Now where did that come from
****
Bonus:
Hal, coming back to earth after hearing there's a bunch of new lanterns in the rough that spawned around the same time: So what's been up with Gotham?
Bruce: My blood pressure
I like to think that Jason and Hal have a very close and strong friendship. If Jason ever needs help without getting a lecture he’ll probably call Hal.
Jason and Roy are dating, he told Hal first. Scratch the Batmobile? Hid at Hal’s place.
If asked Jason says his favorite JL members are either Winder Woman or Green Lantern. (Though it did start out as a way to piss off Batman)
I need more fics or moment of just Hal Jordan being a fighter pilot.
Like, the JL is in the batplane and Hal is just like, gimme the controls. He’d be blasting off and laughing.
Does anyone know of Hal centric fics like at all? I can’t find like any
Hal Jordan of Earth AI is a member of the Green Lantern Corps, established by the Guardians. The Guardians have divided the our galactic disk into 3600 quadrants and given a green lantern and a ring to the most fearless and trusted sentient lifeforms of each quadrant. Ring bearers are commonly called Green Lanterns. The rings charged by the lantern bring to life anything a ring bearer can imagine.Â
Abin Sur was a member of the Green Lantern Corps working undercover on Earth AI to locate an escaped criminal when he suffered a fatal accident. Before he died his ring chose Hal Jordan of Earth AI to replace him and brought Hal to receive the ring.
This is gonna be pretty controversial, but like, my least favorite fannon characterization of DC characters is Hal Jordan. YUP, i ignored all the batfamily members, who i mostly read about, and jump right up to GREEN LANTERN. let me explain why-
In cannon, even Guy Gardner points out in Green Lantern: Rebirth, that the reason Batman hates Hal so much is because Hal is one of the only Justice League member who doesn't take Batman seriously. He isn't scared of Batman, and fear is something Batman relies heavily on.
quote- Hal Jordan is the Man Without Fear, and what is the Batman when you're not afraid of him? Just a man
that quote i put above is not the exact quote here, but i know it gets said, i just can't find that exact page- somebody PLZ link it in the Comments/Reblogs if u find it
And that's a line i actually really love for Hal.
BUT IN FANNON, HAL AND ALL THE OTHER JL ARE SO WEAK AND CLUELESS AND STUPID, it drives me up the wall. Batman and his kids are the only competent superheroes/vigilantes and i hate it.
especially when its about Superman, Green Lantern and Green Arrow. Because, while I love batman as much as the next person, I love these characters toooo. (Especially Batman's relationship with them)
In fannon, they make Batman bully Hal into fear, make him incredibly stupid, and BABYSIT THE BATKIDS, AND HE GETS FOOLED DURING THAT AS WELL.
basically, Hal Jordan deserves better. Do better @fanfiction
So, if anyone has fanfictions where Superman, Green Arrow or Green Lantern are treated with the respect they deserve and maybe interacting with the one of the Bats, make sure to link in Comments/Reblogs
read the tags, they're kind of important :3
