Green Lantern’s New Vehicle Challenges the Batmobile: Why It’s the Ultimate DC Ride

Green Lantern Hal Jordan is about to take his adventures to the next level with a stunning new motorcycle—one that even Batman would admire. Although the Emerald Knight is capable of astonishing speeds with the powers of his Ring, one might question the necessity of such a ride. But in the world of superheroes, practicality often takes a backseat to style, and who wouldn’t want to look formidable while cruising through the cosmos?

Imagining a race between the Dark Knight and the Emerald Knight on their respective vehicles would undoubtedly be thrilling.

Upcoming Release: Green Lantern #21

Scheduled for release on March 26, 2025, the next issue penned by Jeremy Adams, with artwork by Jack Herbert, will witness Hal Jordan joining forces with his allies Kyle, Superboy, and Odyssey to combat relentless assaults from the ominous Sorrow, along with a formidable foe: Starbreaker.

In Xermánico’s cover art, Starbreaker ominously towers over Hal Jordan as he expertly rides a stunning motorcycle reminiscent of a classic Café Racer, all conjured from the energy of his Power Ring. The luminous emerald glow obscures some finer details, but the design—characterized by a prominent round headlight, minimalist aesthetic, and sleek mounted mirrors—indicates that Hal has a penchant for timeless style.

While Hal dons his iconic Green Lantern costume during this high-octane moment, one can’t help but envision him complementing this ride with an Air Force bomber jacket, creating a striking visual harmony. Beyond its appearance, the potential of this motorcycle is particularly captivating. Constructed from the embodiment of Hal’s will, it likely outperforms standard Café Racers, especially in speed—a thrilling thought for those interested in racing potential. While a crossover event featuring Batman and Green Lantern remains a hypothetical wish, the idea of a race between them is tantalizingly exciting.

With Hal Jordan capable of creating the motorcycle using his Ring, one might ponder the necessity of such a mode of transport. After all, Hal possesses the ability to soar at speeds exceeding 9,000 miles per hour, especially now that he has his own singular Power Ring. While his powers may not allow for faster-than-light travel anymore, the addition of a motorcycle raises questions of want versus need. Yet if the appeal lies solely in the thrill of the ride, then perhaps that’s justification enough!
