He’s just a normal nice guy living in Central City – except he also just so happens to be the Fastest Man Alive. That’s why most of us probably associate the Scarlet Speedster with his fast pace and even faster mouth. And that’s definitely true of his Justice League incarnation.

When a hero or villain spits out a monologue, it can be hit or miss. And you’d expect an entire, time-consuming oath to be a “miss.” But that’s not the case with the Green Lantern Corps.

No name strikes fear into the hearts of criminals and ignites a fire in fanboys more than the Dark Knight’s.
