But then the joke fell apart because a) they weren’t shy about implying (though they never stated it outright) that John and Shayera had an ‘adult’ relationship (see her conversation with Vixen when they meet), so if John had a small wiener, Shay’d know better than Wally, and b) Wally was rather intimidated by Shayera (the fact that she gave him a good one about his own sexual prowess - ‘I’m the Fastest Man Alive!’ ‘No wonder you can’t get a date.’ - probably didn’t help), so mocking her boyfriend to her face seems a no go.

Of course, I can’t see comics Wally doing this either (and forget Barry…Bart might have, but he never spent much time hanging with the JLA without Jay Garrick watching him). To Kyle, sure, but not to Hal. He’s not a jerkass, and he simply doesn’t have the kind of relationship with Hal that lets him joke about that kind of thing.

Now, Green Arrow, on the other hand…Ollie might pull that one on Hal.

… I have just sucked whatever funny was in this comic out.

… But I had fun doing it. >_>

He’s probably the best known of the Green Lanterns among younger non-comics readers, actually, because he was the GL in Justice League/Justice League Unlimited. (Among the older, Hal, or Alan, depending on just HOW old, and if they ever were a comics reader to begin with.)

Interestingly, both John and Guy Gardner have real-world namesakes, both of whom became famous after the comics characters were introduced - Jon Stewart, of course, and there’s an astronaut named Guy Gardner. Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern ALMOST had this happen - he was originally supposed to be named Alan Ladd (a reference to Aladdin), but the editors thought the name was too obvious, and nobody’d buy it. Guess which actor would appear soon afterwards.

Unless someone had a yellow condom. He’d be in trouble then.

For fun, try it with Alan Scott. And by “fun” I mean “flayed alive before your nervous system can register anything”. Wally, having been a superhero since he was 15, knows exactly who the easy targets are.
