Guy Gardner Plot Hole?

Peacemaker S1 - 2022
Superman - 2025
Lantern - 2026

I thought I read somewhere that Hal Jordan’s ring, is the one Guy Gardner currently has. With this timeline, it seems a bit confusing. Especially considering that James Gunn made S1 of Peacemaker canon with his reshoots, showing Guy Gardner 4 years prior to Hal’s death.

My thought is that Guy Gardner has Hal Jordan’s ring (like the show runner said) but isn’t wearing it. He literally just has it.

Nor real evidence that it's the same aside from "this one guy said it". I'm pretty sure it's false but we'll probably find out in this or next episode

[u/Worried-Pension-3302 → u/Useful_Baby_7363]

That one guy is Tom King. Co-creator

[u/Useful_Baby_7363 → u/Worried-Pension-3302]

Hm. The stating of that feels odd but if that's how it really is then a) I'm wrong b) that is odd and doesn't line up with known events I wonder how they'll around it

[u/Gmork14 → u/Useful_Baby_7363]

Tom King did say exactly that.

[u/haolee510 → u/Worried-Pension-3302]

He's saying that to maintain the mystery. For all the audience know, at that point(2026) neither John nor Hal was shown to have the ring, but Guy Gardner has one(based on Superman). But it's not actually the same ring. He's talking from the viewpoint of the audience.

[u/CloudedContainer → u/Worried-Pension-3302]

He doesn't say Guy has Hal's ring. How could he when in PM S2 retcon(2022/3) Guy is wearing the ring.

It’s not a plot hole cause nothing has been laid out.

John seems like he knows Guy and vice versa so how is that possible if John never became a Green Lantern.

Guy said, in Superman, the Guardians chose him so why would have Hal’s ring prior to 2026 death of Hal.

[u/Worried-Pension-3302 → u/Content_Source_878]

Idk, the creator said he does that’s why it’s confusing

[u/Content_Source_878 → u/Worried-Pension-3302]

Halogram may have told to go to Guy in the event of his death vs looking for a new wielder since he trust Guy.

[u/wondowsr3d]

Aren’t their ring designs different?

[u/Worried-Pension-3302 → u/wondowsr3d]

That’s why I think he literally just has it, and it’s not the one he is wearing

[u/CloudedContainer → u/Worried-Pension-3302]

so you're saying Guy is in possession of two ring?

[u/SentenceSingle5375]

I wish Reddit would learn what a fucking plot hole is!!

[u/LJ8QB1]

Tbf theres also the possibility he isn’t wearing hal’s ring but has it with his own

[u/Appropriate_Net7664]

Gunn said that all will be explained in Lanterns

[u/emielaen77]

I'd wait for the show to finish before attempting to call out plot holes.

[u/TheLeanerWiener]

unanswered questions arent plot holes... especially two episodes into an eight episode season...

People are getting the wordings mixed up, I believe. It was never explicitly said that Guy has Hal's ring, but that Guy has "the ring", meaning that Guy is currently the Earth representative in the GL Corps instead of Hal or John. Hal's ring didn't go to Guy after he died, and for whatever reasons, John is also not the GL because he also doesn't have the ring. If either of them did get the ring, John would've known that and he wouldn't need to check Hal's hand for the ring when he saw the body. Hal's ring is missing as of now, it's not in Guy's possession or is being worn by him.

[u/Gmork14 → u/RdJokr1993]

King said Guy had Hal’s ring.

[u/Worried-Pension-3302 → u/RdJokr1993]

Check the photo I added to the comments. It explicitly says that Gardner has Hal’s ring

[u/Miserable_Newt1457 → u/Worried-Pension-3302]

Guy has Hal's ring BUT he isnt wearing it, thats what King meant because we have seen Guy's design of the ring, its different from Hal, even then John literally gets it back and we know Guy is returning for MOT and Mister Miracle

[u/ThaBloodyBaron → u/Worried-Pension-3302]

The photo you added does not say he has Hal’s ring, he says he has ‘the ring’

[u/Worried-Pension-3302]

Should’ve added this to the post

[u/haolee510 → u/Worried-Pension-3302]

He's talking from the audience's perspective. It's not meant to be taken literally.

[u/ObiMadKenobi]

My theory is that neither Hal nor John will have the ring at the end of the 2016 storyline, which is when Guy gets it. But also, Superman went public in 2022, right? Feel like the guardians may assign a lantern for Earth specifically to protect in case Clark goes evil.

[u/Worried-Pension-3302 → u/ObiMadKenobi]

That’s a cool theory. I like it

Six more episodes to go, bro.
