Guy Gardner (Audio Version)
from Bros Foes and Heroes
This week on Bros, Foes, and Heroes, Zach and Mike ask the question nobody was really ready to answer: 👉 Who is Guy Gardner… and why does every hero want to punch him? We kick things off with Guy’s actual origin in Green Lantern #59, where we learn he was almost Earth's Green Lantern — but lost out because Hal Jordan lived closer. Seriously. Then it’s a full dive into his most iconic (and unhinged) moments: Justice League America #28 – where Guy takes his girlfriend on a date to... an adult movie theater. Justice League America #52 – where he sucker punches Blue Beetle during a boxing match. Justice League International #5 – where Batman settles an argument with one punch that lives in meme history. From bowl cuts to bar fights to “sweet cheeks” one-liners, we’re exploring everything that makes Guy Gardner the worst-best Green Lantern in DC Comics history. 🎙️ New episodes weekly – Subscribe and follow! 📧 Got a character you want us to cover?
