"Great, just great. This is Hal Jordan's Green Lantern costume," Akane
muttered. "Who was that blue guy and why did he give me a ring?"
I don't think the fact that the first GL of Earth was Hal Jordan is
publically known to the point that a teenager in Japan would know it.

Isn't Interlac the 30th century language? Is it spoken in 20th century DC
Universe?
Kyle filed that information away and stared out the window at Japan.
"What are you going to do?"
Kyle shrugged and replied, "Nothing. This is Ganthet's choice, and I'm
not going to interfere with that, especially if it leads to a
reformation of the Green Lantern Corps."
I'd like to think Kyle would take more interest than that.
"I see."
Feeling a need to explain his reasons, Kyle said, "I'm not shirking my
duties as Green Lantern, Batman. I just have the feeling that if I stay

Happy, not a lantern. Civilized people, can't even identify something

The original Green Lantern (Alan Scott)'s green lantern came from China
and was a magical artifact. She probably ought to be familiar with it.
Casting a quick glance at Kyle, Batman replied, "Yes. Yes, there is.
Apparently, Ganthet gave out another Green Lantern power ring to a girl
in Tokyo. I've had Oracle contact Dr. Light to keep an eye on the
situation, but I feel that I along with Kyle should go."
Batman is isolationist enough these days that I think he'd need a fairly
good reason to want to go all the way to Japan just for a new Green
Lantern; he didn't ever go check out any of the others who have showed up
over the years.
Plastic Man formed his body into Napoleon's hat and landed on top of
Kyle's head.
Heh!
A resounding bong sounded out through Tokyo as the Lantern's blow
struck the bell. Smirking a bit, Akane let the bell and hammer vanish.
Heh!
An interesting start.
