YMMV / Batman: In Darkest Knight

Go To

  • Complete Monster: In this comic about Batman being a Green Lantern instead of Hal Jordan, Sinestro is a Green Lantern from Planet Korugar in Sector 1417 who ended up becoming a tyrant of said planet. Deposed to Planet Qward by Batman and the Guardians of the Universe, Sinestro then developed a personal vendetta against Batman. Gaining the power of the yellow ring from one of the aliens from Planet Qward, he then infiltrates Gotham's police station to gain more information of Batman's past life and murders the Commissioner, James Gordon, in order to get rid of the witness. After gaining the information, he then murders the wife of Batman's parents' killer, Joe Chill, and then absorbs Joe's mind. He also turns the two acquaintances of Batman into his minions and then destroys several planets in order to incriminate Batman. Sinestro also attacks the Batcave in order to tamper with Batman's power source which resulted on Batman's butler, Alfred, becoming mortally wounded.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Sinestro becoming a stand-in for Batman's traditional nemesis the Joker becomes a lot funnier in retrospect after Geoff Johns' run on Green Lantern featured Batman almost becoming a Sinestro Corps recruit. Doubly so after DC Infinite Frontier introduced a fusion of Sinestro and the Joker called Jokero.
