** Honestly the better question than why does the ring go to a planet already inhabited with so many heroes which is simple. Obviously this depends on the writers but there are planets where everybody has super powers, despite how good our geniuses tend to be nearly everywhere seems to have technology running around that makes our stuff look stone aged. We might always win but that's because we're also the protagonist. I want to know why the ring doesn't seek out any of the extant heroes. Batman's will power greater than any of the Lanterns I've seen sans possibly Jon Stewart. If he's too close to evil or crazy Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman. There are lots of better choices.
