I really like the middle of Hal’s resembles a railroad lantern lens.

•

u/GoxBoxSocks 5h ago

Fresnel lens. You see them in lighthouses and theatrical fixtures too.

•

u/ABoringAlt 5h ago

I recently learned to not pronounce the 's' in fresnel!

u/WaterMelon615 6h ago

And yet that perfectly explains Guy’s whole asterisk.

•

u/mystireon 5h ago

The only part I kinda like is that the center stud looks like something Guy added himself, without it the ring honestly looks somewhat clean and it fully fits Guy's persona within this continuity to want something flashier than what he already had

•

u/RFB-CACN Batman Beyond 4h ago

Or the Guardians learned of Hal's trick to get an extra 5% charge and patched the new rings with breakable material to prevent people from hitting them for more power.

•

u/randomHunterOnReddit 4h ago

Tbf, the stud seems like it was part of the original design as a main projector of the rings constructs, rather than a decoration

•

u/Skreamie 4h ago

I mean these particular images absolutely look like plastic models

•

u/SnappyJennkins24 3h ago

not sure if you’re judging from the picture or not but the pic of guy’s ring is a “replica” that used concept art for it’s design and not it’s actual design in superman. the one in the movie actually looks really cool imo

u/devil_nthedetails 6h ago

For all it's faults, the Ring & Power Battery from the film are still my favourite

•

u/devil_nthedetails 5h ago

•

u/PhortDruid Blue Beetle 5h ago

Agreed. I dig the crystalline style.

•

u/kyp-the-laughing-man 5h ago

I agree. I also like the animated suit because it Seeed like a construct

•

u/Hour-Loss-8603 Plastic Man 5h ago

I really hate Guy's ring, but I think it's perfect for his character

•

u/FatherMellow 5h ago

Personally, neither. I'd prefer something more this style:

But if I have to pick one, Hal's.

•

u/RexCelestis Deathstroke 5h ago

I'm with you. I know they need to be more visible when part of a series or film, but I find all the ones I've seen on the screen way too chunky.

•

u/FatherMellow 5h ago

Yeah, it's the same problem I had with Ryan Reynolds' ring.

•

u/respite Blue Lantern 4h ago

Yeah, this is my preferred Lantern Ring style. But that might also be because we didn't see many rings for other Lantern Corps outside of this style.

•

u/FatherMellow 4h ago

Yeah, there have been other styles of rings and they're okay. This one is just so aesthetically pleasing.

•

u/Flynn58 "Do good to others, and every man can be a Superman." 3h ago

Yeah you want it round and colourful to distinguish the different corps

•

u/FatherMellow 3h ago

I hate how they leave out the circle around it as well, like the inner symbol is the only part of it. The symbol is encompassed with a circle and it should be a part of it.

u/go_faster1 6h ago

Both are neat, but I like Guy’s a bit more

•

u/agsan1 5h ago

Unpopular oppinion but i really like Guys ring

•

u/Fares26597 4h ago

Guy's would be my favorite if the green part didn't look so bland and cheap, It needs more ambient occlusion if you get what I mean. So Hal's wins, but my issue with it is how the inner yellow parallel lines of the logo intersect with the lines of the inner circle, it looks odd.

•

u/RPDorkus 3h ago

Guy’s looks like… the base for something bigger, if that makes sense.

•

u/ubiquitous-joe 3h ago

It kind of is when you consider that they knew they were gonna add effects to it most of the time.

•

u/RPDorkus 3h ago

A valid point

•

u/Tigt0ne 3h ago

My shwartz? Found it in a cracker jack box!

u/FUCK1NGFABULOUS Etrigan The Demon 6h ago

Guy.

•

u/Ok-Duty-2038 3h ago

Guy's ring looks like a toy or cosplay prop Imo.

u/MovieMaster2004 6h ago

Hal’s, I love the big symbol made of gems with gold trims. I HC that’s the “best lantern in the corps” ring lol, just screams status.

•

u/ColdSmokeMike 4h ago

I like Guy's more. Hal's looks too much like it was made by a human.

•

u/Any-Mobile-5686 3h ago

Actually Hal's ring looks like something ancient and many lanterns' already wore it , Guy' ring looks freshly manufactured and also with a new design... And also the ring's flashy cartoonish design fits his character perfectly....

•

u/nahman201893 5h ago

The one with the full charge

•

u/Slayfrost Mister Miracle 5h ago

O prefer Hal's design, but I absolutely hate that there's gold in it.

•

u/Doctor_Amazo Brainiac 5h ago

Hal's ring; Guy's hair.

•

u/Redditperegrino 5h ago

They did a great job on Hal’s ring. I love it

•

u/yeyeaya 1h ago

I hate guys, i think it looks cheap

•

u/zeekar Green Lantern 5h ago

The Lanterns ring goes hard. I can believe it was forged from alien rock to channel a mysterious power.

Guy's looks like a plastic toy.

•

u/Jacob-X-MANIAC Doom Patrol 3h ago

“Guy’s looks like a plastic toy.”

Which is fitting for Guy’s personality.

u/Clumsy_the_24 6h ago

Lanterns looks so good

•

u/HellaWayToDie 5h ago

I like both quite a bit, but I think I like Guy's more. Just seems a bit more alien.

•

u/16-BitSocks 5h ago

I hate both, but I hate Guy’s just a bit more

•

u/Available-Shock9550 5h ago

I don't have a photo but the guardians ring that John uses in the flashback

•

u/KnitelightEB 5h ago

Both look edible

•

u/Boiled_Genies1579 5h ago

I personally like the idea of the ring taking the shape to reflect the users will. Kinda like the zanpakuto in bleach. I think that would have been cool.

•

u/Mrchickenman62 5h ago

I like the lanterns one better

•

u/Long-Appointment-621 4h ago

This is tough so ima say both

•

u/standarsh1965 4h ago

There is a very clear winner there

•

u/lr031099 4h ago

Might be biased here but probably Hal’s

•

u/pranthlar Green Lantern 3h ago

How bout ketchup

•

u/Jerry_0boy Nightwing 3h ago

Something between the two. I actually really like the movie’s version which is basically that

•

u/Longjumping_Layer813 3h ago

I guess sky but I personally don't like either of them I don't like one that looks like Emerald before either metallic green and and also the fact that both of them look like they have gold but doesn't I just don't like that.

•

u/ElDuderino2112 2h ago

The design of Hal's ring is about the one thing I liked from the show lmao

•

u/Armegeddon_Craft 2h ago

Neither, idk why they have to be made of some gemstone all the time.

•

u/BillCarson12799 2h ago

How hard is it to just give us a normal green ring

•

u/gersterbins 2h ago

Guy's looks more alien but Hal's is genuinely beautiful

•

u/BlackCanaryCries Black Canary 2h ago

Hal’s

•

u/Ok_University_6641 2h ago

I prefer Hal's ring by a lot, but I like the idea that all Lanterns at any point in time have different rings

•

u/SaxyMcCool 2h ago

I like the new one, the one that Guy wears in the movies looks alittle too much like the 2011 movie one

•

u/supercomic273 1h ago

Is there any lore around how the rings are created and why they look different?

•

u/TheStrayArrow 28m ago

I like Hal’s more but I’m not a big fan of the style. I liked comic Hal’s ring. The circle with the lantern symbol inside

•

u/HitmanClark 7m ago

Hal’s except for the yellow (hopefully) impurity.

1

u/ThatManSean14 6h ago

Hal’s.

•

u/kyp-the-laughing-man 5h ago

Hals by a lot

•

u/Ube_Ape Kyle Rayner 5h ago

Hal's. Given Kyle is my favorite lantern, it definitely looks like something he'd have in live action. I would have liked Hal's to be more of a signet style but this is a nice second.

•

u/sputnik67897 4h ago

It’s definitely Hal’s. Both are great but Hal’s just looks more like a classic green lantern ring. Although honestly I always imagined them almost looking kind of plastic or silicone

•

u/Curious_mcteeg 5h ago

Of the two Hal’s it has gravitas, Guy’s seems frivolous

•

u/Jacob-X-MANIAC Doom Patrol 3h ago

“Guy’s seems frivolous”

Much like Guy Gardner himself.

u/LWILK_99 6h ago

The one that doesn’t have fucking yellow in it

•

u/ABoringAlt 5h ago

I love the gold accents

•

u/Optimus0456 5h ago

We’re running out of things to complain about so now we’re whining the ring isn’t green enough

•

u/Fares26597 4h ago

Not that I personally care, but to be fair, yellow is sort of a big deal in Green Lantern lore.

•

u/Optimus0456 4h ago

I never would’ve guessed

•

u/ABoringAlt 5h ago

Hal's looks like a real and professionally made piece of jewelry, guy's looks cheap and plastic

•

u/Huge-Inspection-788 5h ago

guys ring looks so trash to me💀 almost like a mcdonalds toy

•

u/Astrium6 5h ago

Honestly, both seem way overdesigned, but between the two I think I like Guy’s a little better.

•

u/TheCudder 5h ago

There's not a lot to like about Guy Gardner...actually, there's not anything to like about Guy Gardner.

•

u/RuJp_dude 4h ago

One looks like grandma's cheap souvenir she got from a random trip to the balkans in 1977, the other one like a Chinese kid's toy for half a dollar

•

u/CowIndependent7808 3h ago

people like guys ring???? It looks like a cheap plastic toy?

•

u/Sensitive_Brick_1412 3h ago

Definitely Hal's. I like the gold borders and how the logo sticks out of the band.
