James Gunn says Green Lantern could beat Superman in a DCU showdown

In a recent interview, James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios, speculated about a potential showdown between Green Lantern and Superman in the DC Universe. Gunn suggested that the Green Lantern, particularly the character of Guy Gardner, could potentially emerge victorious in such a confrontation. Gunn's comments highlight the power and capabilities of the Green Lantern, who wields a powerful ring that allows them to create constructs and harness the energy of the green lantern corps. In contrast, Gunn acknowledged Superman's impressive abilities, but noted that the Green Lantern's versatility and the potential for their ring to counter Superman's powers could give them an edge in a hypothetical battle. While this is merely speculation and not an indication of any immediate plans for such a confrontation in the DC Universe, Gunn's comments have sparked discussion among fans about the relative strengths and weaknesses of these iconic DC characters.
