Green Lantern - Earth-32 - Batman: The Dawnbreaker (2017)

Sensing the potential to overcome great fear, a Green Power Ring was sent to the planet Earth in sector 2814, where it bonded with a young Bruce Wayne. Overpowering the device with his will for revenge and escaping the loneliness he was feeling, having just witnessed his parents being murdered right in front of him in a mugging, Wayne used the ring to kill Joseph Chilton and get revenge for their deaths. Trying and failing to bring them back, Bruce kept the ring for himself, setting out to honour his parents and fight to ensure that people would not feel the same loss and pain that he did.

Over the next three years, he would go on to become the hero known as Green Lantern, working with the police in order to rid Gotham City of crime. However, his methods were violent, believing that all criminals needed to die so that innocence could live.


"Fear of the Dark" 

Green Lantern was summoned to the rooftop of the G.C.P.D by Commissioner Gordon, who lit the Green Power Battery. The hero told Gordon to watch his tone as the latter remarked that he wasn't expecting to see him, musing that the last police officer who showed him disrespect ended up paying for it. He listened as the Commissioner mentioned a few reports for missing people and a manhunt for the criminal known as the Scarecrow.

Before the villain could strike the city with a missile, Green Lantern used a construct to catch the weapon and send it hurtling to space, taking Scarecrow out of Earth's atmosphere and allowing the pressure to make him explode.

Green Lantern returned to Gordon a few days later, ignoring the latter's attempt to question the whereabouts of the Scarecrow, before getting a tip off that the Penguin and a few of his henchmen where operating illegally within Gotham.

Smashing through the roof of the Penguin's establishment, he used his power ring to cause a massive black out, using shadow constructs to slaughter Penguin's henchmen and disarm their boss. Green Lantern flew out of Earth's atmosphere, telling Penguin that he had had enough of his criminal operation and wasn't going to stand for it anymore, calling him "stupid" and "disgusting." He left Penguin to die, before seeking out Commissioner Gordon.

The Commissioner demanded to know what he had done to Penguin, defiantly declaring that the G.C.P.D would no longer work with Lantern because of his methods - repulsed by Bruce's actions against Detective Harvey Bullock, as well as the most recent murder of Penguin, which the hero treated as a joke. Angered by Gordon's endeavour to appeal to his former life and the realisation that he knew who he was, Lantern used his ring to obliterate Jim, noting that it was "sad" that he had been pushed to that and adding that now his daughter would have to grow up without her "father".

Before he can fly away, he is confronted by a handful of Green Lanterns and the Guardians of the Universe, who tell the renegade Lantern that he had to be stopped for his repeated abuse of his power ring and the violation of the first law of the Corps - No killing. They also expressed their concern that he could infect the whole Green Lantern Corps with his darkness, achieving something that no other Lantern could ever do. He excitedly tells them that he is not alone and had friends he could call upon to help him fight them, activating a blackout and using his shadow constructs to tear through the Corps and their founders. After decapitating the only surviving member of the onslaught, Green Lantern expressed how he could no longer cope with the loss of his parents, willing to kill himself in order to join them.

But as he walks into the lantern,  he is surrounded by a colony of bats, inspiring himself to become something new. Altering the words of his former Green Lantern Oath, he took on the identity of the Dawnbreaker.
