Hearing Yellow Lantern Batman's words, Schiller frowned. He tapped the ground at his feet with the tip of his umbrella and said, "Tell me in detail."
After a brief pause, Yellow Lantern Batman began describing what had happened that day.
Green Lantern Batman—Dawn's Strange Light—had a comic backstory that, aside from the translated version of his oath being somewhat memorable, felt mostly like filler. There were basically no emotional entanglements involving the other members of the Dark Knight Legion. It was roughly the story of a brat slaughtering his way through his own universe.
But there was one glaring inconsistency in the whole story. Little Bruce's parents died, so the Green Lantern ring flew to him. Yet from the perspective of personal emotion, that logic made no sense, because the Green Lantern ring represented willpower.
The death of his parents had dealt Little Bruce a devastating blow. Judging by what he did after obtaining the Green Lantern ring, the emotions surging within him at the time had been incredibly intense. To some extent, he had completely lost control. How could that possibly count as unwavering willpower?
Of course, this was not to say there was anything wrong with avenging his parents by killing criminals. But the ring's criteria were fixed.
