Using his hot air balloon, Scott claims to commune with the spirits of the deceased, exploiting his audience’s pain for profit. However, he has a charm that readers simply can’t help but like. While traveling by train across the continental United States, Scott encounters an elderly woman carrying a rare artifact. In the conversation, she reveals that the artifact is the “Jong Li’s Ring,” opening a small box to reveal a glowing green ring inside.
Green Lantern fans will immediately recognize the significance of this name in GL lore. Jong Li was a 7th century Chinese Green Lantern and one of the most powerful members of the Corps. Jong Li’s Ring comes into Scott’s possession after the train is attacked and derailed by the League of Assassins. After the accident, the elderly woman, mortally injured, entrusts the ring to Scott with her last breath. This pivotal moment marks the beginning of Scott’s connection to the Green Lantern legacy.

With the launch of Gotham by Gaslight – The Kryptonian Age #6, Alan Scott’s Green Lantern costume officially debuted, although he has yet to claim the Green Lantern moniker for himself. Interestingly, the name “Green Lantern” has appeared several times in the narrative, but not as Scott’s heroic identity. In issue #3, readers encountered the term for the first time, only to discover that it was the name of Scott’s hot air balloon. The balloon made its official debut in issue #5, presenting itself as a striking emerald-green bulbous aircraft that more than lives up to its namesake.
Although the title of Green Lantern currently belongs to the hot air balloon, it seems inevitable that Scott will eventually adopt the name for himself. Fans can probably expect this transformation to occur in Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A Justice Leagueandwhich will continue the story that Andy Diggle started in The Kryptonian Era. Although details about A Justice League are scarce, aside from the expected 2025 release, it’s reasonable to assume that the series will focus on the various heroes introduced so far, fully embracing their heroic personalities and coming together as a team.
