10 Most Badass Batman Moments Ever
5. Batman Knocks Out Guy Gardner With A Single Punch (Justice League #5)
Guy Gardner may be one of the most annoying characters in the entire DC Universe, mainly due to his backup status as a Green Lantern. But, nevertheless, he still wields a Power Ring, a powerful weapon used by the Lanterns that enables its users to manifest anything they can imagine. Someone with that sort of power would be a force to be reckoned with for anyone, but Batman doesn’t care about such trivial things; The Dark Knight has never met a man, woman, alien, animal or creature that he is afraid of, and the whiney, obnoxious and occasional sexist Guy Gardner certainly isn’t any exception.
In Justice League #5, Guy Gardner is pitching a hissy fit over the fact that Batman is the leader of the Justice League and not him. After sulking and bad mouthing the Caped Crusader for a few issues, Batman has enough and challenges Guy to a fight to settle their beef once and for all. Guy agrees and Batman knocks him out cold with one punch. While the other members of the Justice League can’t believe what they just witnessed, Batman calmly walks away to attend a meeting.
