you won’t kill him, but you don’t have to save him

That historical film really goofed with that line. I put him in danger so it was my responsibility to save him, and it is my duty to rescue people even if they are villains. That is why my tab of Joker rescues is 527083652830017958603209751058660582530792658202356058015680565065860538538665830182803148659358635860386035680538605358603863506350860358603586350863506358060358053065386081560815601507357053071501624601260530757050635260536053603560536085 times.

Impossible But True!
Despite having stories that are lauded fifty years later and, by far, the most popular artist of the day, Green Lantern was cancelled at the end of this arc of stories. Green Lantern was moved to the backup feature in Flash.

I’m not sure it’s fair to judge a character by the most baffling and poorly-written showing? Like, if it’s something that’s consistent or referenced a lot in hindsight, that’s one thing, but everyone was weirded out by Englehart’s run and kind of quietly retconned it out and moved on.
It’d be like disliking Cassandra Cain because she’s a murderer in the One Year Later arc of Robin.

Arisia Arab, she was a teenage GL kind of had a sibbling/mentor relationship with Hal, she had a crush on hal, she used GL willpower to age herself up. and suddenly it is ok for her and Hal to have a romantic relationship. even though she is still mentally 14

But yeah, this was really gross. In the '80s, Arisia Rrab was introduced as a supporting character, a teenager who’d become her sector’s Green Lantern, and Hal was kind of a mentor to her. In Steve Englehart’s run after Crisis on Infinite Earths, she develops a crush on Hal and uses her ring to make herself older, hoping to start a relationship with him. Hal is uncomfortably fine with this and the run acts like she’s no different from any other adult, which doesn’t really follow from how it’s written.
I don’t think much more was done with it. Geoff Johns obliquely patched it by saying that she was a few hundred years old and her species ages slowly, but otherwise there aren’t really many references to the relationship.
But, like, I’m looking at it as Englehart being gross and taking a dump on the character more than the character being unusable or defined by it.
