Can we share that title? lol. I love Hal, he's my favorite of the Green Lanterns cuz he's the only one who really has any personality. Kyle is SOOOOO boring. The only good storyline that I ever read with him in it was "The Weaponer" from GLC and it wasn't even really him that made the story exciting, but instead was Soranik Natu, his girlfriend. I think the only exciting thing that Kyle has ever really done was hook up with her. No offense to people who actually like him, but I'm glad that Johns replaced him with Hal for the main Green Lantern title. Kyle, John, and Guy can share the Green Lantern Corps title. Well, right now Kyle's in New Guardians, but you know what I mean.
Idk, in my opinion, Kyle just always seemed to be operating in Hal's shadow and he never really replaced Hal or even filled his shoes. And this is someone talking who got into comics AFTER Kyle had become The Green Lantern and replaced Hal. Hal just has more depth and is more well rounded of a character, not to mention that he's the only one with any semblance of a supporting cast outside of the Corps. Every GL villain and every conflict, whether its the Sinestro Corps War or Blackest Night, means more when Hal is on the front lines. Hal has a history with the villains of the GL Corps that brings so much more weight to the story when he's involved. Sinestro is the perfect example of that, given that he's been made out to be Hal's former friend and mentor when he was new to the Corps. And he literally exemplifies the "no fear" aspect of the GLs. Hal isn't afraid to question authority. In other words, he doesn't take crap....from anyone, not the Guardians, not even Batman, and almost everyone in the DCU is afraid of Batman.
Kyle, John, and Guy are all Green Lanterns, but Hal will always be THE Green Lantern. Well...not right now, but we all know he's gonna be back.
Geez, I remember when I was like you. Naive about who Hal is. Kyle is the best Green Lantern. Classic Hal is my favorite. Hal today is boring, wears his heart on his sleeve in any situation, and is an ungrateful douché according to the new Justice League.
