1* CreatorsPest: Creator/FrankMiller has stated in interviews that he thinks Green Lantern is worthless, ''and it shows''. Which is curious, [[FlipFlopOfGod considering he wrote Hal as arguably the noblest character]] in ''ComicBook/TheDarkKnightStrikesAgain''.
2* DevelopmentHell:
3** The series had an erratic shipping schedule even before going on hiatus, with the best that the publishers could do was a bi-monthly streak at one point. From 2005 to 2008, only ten issues launched of what was ''supposed'' to be a twelve-issue series.
4** In 2010, DC announced a new series called ''Dark Knight: Boy Wonder'' that would last six issues and wrap up the series. In October 2015, Creator/FrankMiller claims he's ''just'' started working on it. According to Creator/JimLee, the art for the series is complete, DC just won't publish it, the reasons possibly being that Miller attracts all the wrong attention (see ''ComicBook/HolyTerror'') and the editor who originally commissioned Lee and Miller to do the book, Bob Schreck, was fired in 2009, about a year after the last issue came out (and went on to finally edit and publish ''Holy Terror'' at Legendary Comics). Although this may have changed, given that not only did he later help write ''ComicBook/DarkKnightIIITheMasterRace'', but he also was recently revealed to be writing ''Superman: Year One'' for Creator/DCBlackLabel.
5* FranchiseKiller: The poor reception of this prompted DC to completely scrap the ComicBook/AllStarDCComics line and replacing it with the ComicBook/EarthOne line.
6* ScheduleSlip: One reason people went after plot points that are supposedly resolved later -- this comic's release schedule was ''abominable''. Creator/JimLee would later blame this on himself, saying [[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder all his other commitments delayed the art]].
7* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/JephLoeb was [[https://www.cbr.com/comic-book-legends-revealed-447/2/ originally going to write the series]], but because he was leaving for Creator/{{Marvel}} at the time, this didn't happen. Also, he and artist Art Adams were considered for writing the second story arc of the series.
