At the end of the Green Lantern season, Guy warns John that the Guardians will eventually send someone if John doesn't return the ring.

And what if that someone is Katma herself?

In the comics, Katma was chosen to be Sinestro's replacement and trained John to be a Green Lantern.

One thing about her is that her people didn't see the Lanterns as heroes, but as enslavers, since Sinestro tyrannized them, making Katma be seen as an outcast. She even thought about leaving the Corps, but Hal convinced her to stay.

So... she's a character who has a connection with the three most important characters in the series. Season 2 could be about her being sent by the Guardians to watch over John. The two end up needing to ally for something bigger, and she reveals more about Sinestro's past, perhaps mentioning that she knew Hal Jordan, maybe even being mentored by him before?

And the two gradually develop a friendship and then a romance.

The late 1930s and early 1940s were the era of the emergence of DC heroes; Superman, Batman, Flash, and many other beloved heroes were born.

And there were two things that most of them had in common: they were men and they had love interests.

And well, it's no secret that the 1940s were much more sexist, so this made sense by the standards of the time, but something curious about that time is the fact that among the love interests, Shiera Sanders, Hawkman's fiancée, ended up becoming a hero, Hawkgirl.

It's not like a special appearance in a random story; she actually took on the mantle and co-starred in the Golden Age stories with Hawkman.

And this is a pattern that wasn't repeated; for example, Joan Williams, Jay Garrick's girlfriend, never became the Flash. Dian Belmont, Sandman's girlfriend, never became Sandgirl.

The most we've ever had was Iza Nelson, who became Doctor Fate in the 90s, decades after the Golden Age, and it didn't become the status quo.

So what do you think was in the Golden Age Hawkgirl? they simply looked at Shiera and said, "Oh, fuck it, I'm going to make her a hero permanently."

Gentleman Ghost was unjustly killed by Nighthawk, Hawkman's past life, causing him to become a ghost who wanders the earth seeking revenge.

Let's imagine that Hawkgirl had a past life where she made a huge mistake that led to the emergence of a villain seeking revenge against her, regardless of the new reincarnation. What would the storyline be like?

DC is committed to the idea that Hippolyta should be the Golden Age Wonder Woman and a member of the JSA. Many fans dislike this, one of the main reasons being that practically nothing is done with it. They made Hippolyta the Golden Age Wonder Woman just to say they had a Golden Age Wonder Woman, but they didn't develop it at all, neither in the Wonder Books nor the JSA Books.

So, regardless of whether you like it or not, if you had to create a story exploring Hippolyta in this team, whether in World War II or in the present day, how would you do it?

Fun fact: Rayn actually received Isamot's ring after his death.

John was originally an architect, which is one of the reasons he was chosen as Green Lantern; it was his job, just like Hal is a pilot or Kyle is an artist.

However, in DC Comics, they decided not to make him an architect but a Marine. Justice League was responsible for popularizing the character, so eventually they established that John was also a Marine in addition to being an architect.

That's where the problem lies. Many John fans don't seem to like this very much. One of the reasons I see is that DC clearly favors John as a military man over an architect. Images, story arcs, and promotions focus on him being a Marine; architecture has become secondary to the character.

So how would you highlight John as an architect? What kinds of things should be remembered to emphasize this aspect of the character?
