This is what a funeral on Oa looks like. One of the Guardians of the Universe was murdered and is being put to rest within the Central Power Battery itself, becoming one with the energy that powers the Green Lantern Corps.

Green Lantern (2021) Issue #2

There isn't any emotional weight to this scene, largely because Koyos is some random Guardian of the Universe who was introduced in the previous issue and not a character with a long history like Ganthet or Sayd. Still, it does give us some insight into some of the practices of the Corps.

Notice the modified uniforms that John, Kilowog, and Guy are wearing. Earlier in the issue, John refers to this as "mourning dress." When you take into consideration the context of the Emotional Spectrum, it's rather symbolic that the funeral attire of a Green Lantern is almost all the color of death, with only hints of their usual green present. White, the color of life, is totally absent. Also the glowing sigil of the Corps on the chest being the only light amidst the darkness? Chef's kiss.

Now you may have noticed that Hal and Kyle look more like their usual selves (actually Kyle is wearing his post-Ion uniform but he changes his outfit so often I genuinely don't know if this was intended or a continuity error). They're not actually there, and are instead projecting constructs of themselves across the universe. Crazy stuff, though previous comics have established that this is something that GLs are capable of.

Now, Nemosyne's narration indicates that this is a funeral rite that is unique to Maltusians. Which does line up with the established canon that fallen Green Lanterns are usually interred in the Crypts of Oa- at least, the ones whose remains could be recovered and presumably weren't delivered to family.

Granted, that crypt did get emptied out during Blackest Night, so how cool would it have been if this kind of ceremony was now the norm for the Corps? Imagine if the Central Battery that is the source of the power they wield and the symbol they wear in life, is also the final resting place for those who make the ultimate sacrifice in service to the Green Lanterns' sacred oath. Becoming one with the willpower that charges their power rings, strengthening their family from beyond the grave.

Dick Grayson, except that when he was Robin, he 100% took advantage of all the powered JL members.

Needed help getting the peanut butter off the top shelf? Instead of doing the weird jump-and-grab thing that all mortals must resign themselves to doing, Dick asked for Clark. Like, asks for him. Loudly. And Clark was always so startled that he’d drop whatever he was doing and speed over to the Manor, only to be greeted by a pouty, hangry Robin who wanted a pbj.

His tree house fell down during a storm? He made a call to John Stewart, architect-turned-Lantern. That poor man fucking rocketed across Sector 2814 to help Robin, who was completely inconsolable, rebuild that damn treehouse because Batman was out of town and couldn’t do it himself. (Dick also occasionally called up Hal, Guy, and Jessica when he was bored and wanted to babble about his life in 3rd grade while playing Hotwheels—they showed up every single time he asked.)

History or English homework got to hard? Diana always came in clutch. She would patiently explain Shakespeare to him (sometimes would even translate it into Dick’s mother tongue so he could understand a little better), or help him write his essays, etc. And on one memorable occasion, she recreated the Battle of Actium in the Manor’s indoor pool.

He also got piggyback rides from Hawkgirl, was fed a pretty much endless supply of gummy bears by the Flash, was entertained with close-up magic by Zatara, got Aquaman to introduce him to a Kraken, and even once played dress-up with J’onn.

And the Justice League? They would bend over backwards for that kid. Partially because Dick had only-baby-in-the-friend-group privilege, partially because Dick also happened to be stinking adorable—but mainly because no one was going to fuck around with the Batman’s kid. Robin wants it, Robin gets it, or you’re going to be assigned to tech desk and pulling horrible Moniter shifts for months because you got on Batman’s bad side by making his baby cry.

Marvel’s an Old Lady

He acts like an old lady. I don’t know. Let’s say Billy’s been spending too much time volunteering at an elderly home because he doesn’t want to be on the streets skulking around. It’s rubbed off on him.

Like for example, he knits like crazy at the Watchtower. It gives him something to do with his hands, what can he say?

Marvel: *in an all too small rocking chair, holding too small knitting needles, zoned out, listening to the gods argue while making a quilt that’s like twelve feet long*

Hal Jordan and John Stewart: *peaking around a corner, watching Marvel*

Hal: “That’s what I was saying! He does not look okay.”

John: “Hal, I’m sure he’s fine.”

Hal: “Dude, he’s been at this for like two hours straight. No breaks.”

John: “Wait really?” *sounds more concerned now* “I would’ve thought he’d been at that for two days.”

Hal: “Yeah, no. He’s just been sitting there. Knitting. It’s kinda creepy to be honest.”

John: “Damn.” *uses ring to summon a ruler and float it over to measure the quilt*

Marvel: *doesn’t even notice as Zeus is picking a fight with Solomon*

John: “That thing’s like twelve feet long.”

Hal: “What?” *concern amps up*

Later Billy cut up the quilt a little bit and donated it all to a homeless shelter.

Then of course there’s the classic old lady move of giving out candy. He’d give the younger heroes candies. He’d give the younger heroes who have become adult heroes candies. And overall, he’d just give everyone candies.

Flash: *telling Marvel about some problems with Iris* “—And now she’s mad at me!”

Marvel: “Oh, it’s okay Flash. Here, have some candy.” *puts a strawberry taffy in Barry’s hand*

Flash: *sniffles as he shoves it into his mouth, wrapper and everything* “Thanks, man.”

Or

Damian: *got scolded by Bruce and is now silently brooding on the couch in the Titan’s Tower*

Marvel: “Heyyyyy Robin…” *super awkward* “I uh… heard you got scolded by Mr. Batman.”

Damian: *mini bat-glares him*

Marvel: *awkward pause* “Take a candy.” *gives him an orange taffy*

Damian: *stares at the candy for a bit* “Tt. I have no need for pity-filled gestures.”

Marvel: “It wasn’t meant to be pity-filled. I just thought candy would make you feel better. Sorry.”

Damian: “Don’t waste your apologies.” *eventually eats it*

or

Marvel: *gives a blood covered Red Hood candies even though the man just shot someone in front of him*

Batman: “Don’t encourage him.”

Red Hood: “Definitely encourage me. I have no idea where you get these but they are delicious.”

Then, the pie making.

Supes: *walks into kitchen cause he smells pie* “Marvel? Are you making pies?”

Marvel: *taking a fresh pie out of the oven* “Hm? Yeah! Ms. Kent told me about a new recipe to try.”

Supes: “Ms. Kent? Lois doesn’t make pies.”

Marvel: “Ohhhhh. No. I meant the other Ms. Kent. Your mom. We discuss and make pies and pie recipes. I’ve been to the farm a couple times too so we could bake together- Your mom hasn’t told you?”

Supes: “No?? Why do just casually know my mom like that?”

Marvel: “We met through a Facebook group. Want to try my blueberry?” *holds up pie*

Supes: “Yes??” *gets a slice and takes a bite* “This really good.”

eldritch green lantern ideas:

ring slowly starts fusing with the finger it's on until one day the finger just glows, there's no more ring

bleeding green (duh)

so willful that reality tends to bend around them in small instances, like coffee always being warm or never having to wait for the elevator, or someone nearby tripping

the ring stops translating other languages because they just start understanding/speaking them eventually

the constructs chosen by Earth Lanterns stop looking like Earth items and more alien, older, ancient

Lanterns slowly forgetting to take off their uniforms and just start wearing them all the time

separating them from their ring will cause very, very bad things to happen

not eating or drinking for several days, then several weeks, then several months at a time without noticing

unintentionally feeding (mentally) off of strong-willed people, and even encouraging disagreement just to sit in the middle of it and feel something almost warm again

Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum #1 (2025)

we do not talk enough about how insanely sexy this suit is and how it's probably the best thing to ever happen to him in the past two decades

this is from green lantern war journal btw, everyone should read and support it!

I know some people are mad that it’s “Blue Lantern erasure” BUT it was always going to happen with Razer. Hell, Giancarlo Volpe even mentioned a few times that Razer HAS what it takes to be a Green Lantern. It’s also possible he could become like Kyle and become a White Lantern.

The only thing I am bugged on is Saint Walker being a GL.

Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum came out, and I have no idea what's going on but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Sadly, it seems like the long-awaited return of White Lantern Kyle was instead just a temporary power-up. But on the upside, his classic suit got a bit of an update and I'm liking it!

The Guardians now come in all colors of the rainbow except green, which seems to be reserved for Jessica? My girl's moving up in the world!

Keli's awake and has her gauntlet, and seems like she's finally got a friend her age (Even if it is the construct ghost of John's dead little sister. Long story.)

Yes, that is Razer. Looks like they drafted his ass into the GLC and he doesn't seem that happy about it. I'm not 100% sure but I think they might've gotten Saint Walker too

hard to say if that's him or another Astonian, since we only see this guy from behind, but what little of the uniform I can see does seem to match the pattern of Bro'dee's Blue Lantern suit
