7 Best Times DC Characters Used Power Rings

2. Batman - Yellow Ring (Forever Evil)

Overall, the consecutive events of Justice League: Trinity War and Forever Evil were rather underwhelming - especially with some of the nonsensical elements of the former - but, there were some real standout moments that made at least some of those titles worth reading.

Undoubtedly the best one of these occurs in Forever Evil, with the section in question seeing Batman wield the power of a Sinestro Corps ring.

The pairing of the Lantern Corps of fear and the Dark Knight is probably the most famous of the whole 'DC characters receiving power rings' schtick, and it's because it works so well. One, Batman is the embodiment of fear to Gotham's criminals, so this would appear to be a natural step-up; and two, the costume looks pretty darn spectacular.

These elements, combined with the epic confrontation between Batman and the Crime Syndicate's Power Ring, made for an amazing scene, even if it was only a very short one.

Plus, the interaction that Batman had with Sinestro afterwards was similarly great, with Sinestro's indication that Bruce would make a fine member of his corps creating fantastic precedent for a potential future story arc.
