![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This punch remains one of the superlative moments in superhero comics because it is the essence of 1988’s Justice League International - The Office of the DC universe. A moment has to be more than that to endure in the minds of comic book nerds for 36 years. And sure, the moment that Batman decked Guy Gardner, the third Green Lantern, was a funny one, but Batman’s been funny before. But the time Batman punched Guy Gardner is something that Batman has never done again.īatman doesn’t usually find himself in situations that call for punching a Green Lantern, but it’s not unheard of. This will not make sense to anyone else, because most people who’ve never been inside a comic book shop (and decent number of those who have) have no idea who Guy Gardner even is. But ask a comic shop employee to finish the sentence “Remember that time that Batman punched…” and nine out of 10 times they’ll say “.Guy Gardner.” Batman has had his share of iconic fights, with Superman, Bane, Ra’s al Ghul, and even Darkseid. ![]()
