** '''Out of universe answer:''' [[GenreSavvy You really don't]], but as a friend to left handed people, I have to say that Sinestro is derived from the Latin "left handed" which is only used as a synonym for evil "out of dark ages" ignorance. And yeah, Sinestro wears his ring on his left hand most adaptations I've seen him in, so his parents may well have literally named him "Lefty" on purpose. So even if I ran into someone named Sinestro in real life, I'd at least give them the benefit of the doubt.

Notice the ones on ''that'' page though include some that could easily double as "Star" Sapphires, whether we're going for Magenta shades or the more purple violets! (And in before somebody mentions "about that magenta thing, pink is not violet!!" - yes, it is, at least in Fuschia/Magenta hues it can be. Specifically, the hues they tend to color the Star Sapphires in in classic color schemes from Silver Age onward are classifiable not just as "pink" but ''also'' as a variant of "red-violet", which I discovered when I actually Googled the latter. FridgeBrilliance since it keeps it separate from blue-violet...which is what actual "indigo" is in Real Life!)

*** Also "why not X person instead? why not Batman?" has been addressed several different ways in multiple comics and oh my gosh you have no idea how happy I am to nerd out about this for you (and funny you specifically mention "Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman" as the examples because the first case makes that perfect by answering with a sounding "YES and it was INSANE"):
**** Bruce Wayne WAS chosen by the Green Ring...in Earth-23, the universe of the Elseworld Graphic Novel ''In Darkest Knight'', where he is a Green Lantern ''instead'' of becoming Batman. Given how that comic goes? Well. He gets too obsessive and too potentially dangerous, because it's ''Bruce Wayne'' after all, and goes off the rails, requiring the Guardians of the Universe to go out of their way to recruit - yes! - Superman, Wonder Woman and the Flash to deal with him. The comic actually is CrazyAwesome and takes RefugeInAudacity I highly recommend it for sheer fun factor, but it does also basically acknowledge ''why'' those characters weren't used as Green Lanterns more often - namely, that Batman's personality does not mesh well with having that kind borderline unlimited power, and when you have the kind of superpowers that Supes, Wondy and the Flash have the Green Power Ring becomes ''ridiculously'' overpowered from a storytelling standpoint (in fact, the Elseworld works as well as it does in part because it only ''briefly'' touches on ''why'' they'd be so powerful). Think about it: yeah, the Green Ring doesn't work on Yellow...but Supes is ''powered'' by yellow light and Flash ''can run faster than'' the speed of it. And Wonder Woman is too badass to ''need'' the Ring to kick your ass, it's just a stellar bonus to her already insanely powerful existing abilities.
****There's an Elseworld called ''Superman: Last Son of Earth'' which inverts Kal-El/Clark Kent's origins, making him a human whose parents sent him from a dying Earth to Krypton. He becomes Green Lantern of Sector 2813 (the one next to ours!) by receiving the dying Tomar-Re's Ring (instead of Abin-Sur's), and [[spoiler:saves Krypton from the explosive demise it had in the original canon]]. Turns out he makes a great Green Lantern actually.
**** But the REAL reason it ''usually'' doesn't pick those people, is for the same reason that Hal Jordan was chosen instead of Guy Gardner and comes from older comics, actually: the Ring scans the Sector, sure, but it picks the geographically closest qualified candidate ''first''! That's right: Hal's a Green Lantern because Guy was further away. Presumably, so were any other potentially perfect candidates who happened to have other powers, since having say, Kryptonian biology never stopped a Ring from choosing Sodam Yat (who is from Daxam; Daxamites have the same power set/biological thing with Yellow Sunlight that Kryptonians do, because of a shared biological origin - most continuities have held Daxam was colonized by ancient Kryptonians)
**** Also, a few years back there was a chapter of ''Green Lantern'' in which Hal let Bruce try his Ring on. Bruce had trouble getting it to work since it ''required'' you to process and "overcome" your fears, and it was a harder than he thought and basically physically hurt to try. He succeeded in making it work, but also basically told Hal he could keep the damn thing because he's perfectly happy being Batman, thanks.
**** '''Although''', making it even more interesting, the main comics continuity Batman in the modern age - in that same continuity, shortly after that actually - was ''almost'' chosen by a Sinestro Corps Power Ring! [[FridgeBrilliance Because you see he can Instill Great Fear...]] It rejected him in the end though because it detected the "previous presence of a Green Lantern Ring"; Hal having recently let him try on his Green Lantern Power Ring meant it thought Bruce might be a Green Lantern himself (since they can take the Rings on and off, you see) and it went ''lol nope'' and rejected what it figured was a potential enemy of Sinestro. Usually when a Yellow Power Ring chooses a former Green Power Ring wielder, it seems it's by Sinestro's own choice (such as when he [[spoiler:forced one on Soranik Natu]] in the ''Sinestro'' series).

** Actually not only can you wield more than one, but if you get all seven colors to work for you you become a White Lantern. Which makes sense (as much sense as comic book "science" fiction does anyway) when you consider the rainbow is just white light split into its components. It's a tricky proposition though, since some of them - namely Orange (Greed), Red (Rage) and Violet (Love) can be really strong and tend to influence their user more than the others if you're not careful. Guy Gardner IIRC struggled with this; a Red Power Ring attached itself to him and he was a sort of hybrid Green/Red Lantern for a while...but the Red Light kept trying to influence him.
