#96 - Guy Gardner
First Appearance: Green Lantern #59 (Mar 1968)
"One Punch!!" ~Blue Beetle
This is a very different write-up because I'm actually going to give you not only the greatest story ever told, but also the write-up in the same set of images. But first, a little preface. In the first four issues of Keith Giffen's acclaimed Justice League run, Guy Gardner was the wannabe leader constantly at odds with true team leader Batman. Guy had proved himself to be nothing more than a pain in the ass and a troublemaker, and caused more problems for Batman than even the Justice League villains. And finally, enough was enough. Read the following comic panels in order to experience what is, in my mind, the third greatest Batman showdown ever written.

One punch.
Guy Gardner went on to be a pain in Batman's side throughout this run, but this moment is widely recognized as one of the greatest Batman moments in history. It placed #16th in the greatest comic book battles of all-time on Comic Book Resources, and is constantly referenced in stuff like Grant Morrison's JLA run and even in Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run.
