I don't care who ended up chosen for the ring, Bruce clearly has more willpower but Hal clearly takes the edge experience wise while Bruce also is by far more creative. Hell my pet rock is more creative than Jordan.
Anyway in shear Ring Power Battle alone Jordan's experience would give him the slight edge needed for him to match Bruce's will and creativity edge but knowing Bruce he's probably already got a few ways to win without the damn ring. So I say he'd pull a contingency plan move and either lose the rings all together or make Hal's ring of little or no help to him at all.

Didn't Bruce have Dick paint an entire safe house yellow and kick Jordan's ass nearly killing him by accident?
True it was All Star and not cannon to mainstream DCU which is what I assume what we're using here but I see no reason the main more experienced Batman couldn't do the same thing or worse.
Especially with the added advantage of a GL ring!

I never said it was cannon, hell I even expressly admitted it wasn't but my point remains. If a rookie Batman and Robin could do that or just something like that then why in the hell couldn't the real experienced Batman do just as bad or worse to Hal?
And thou I'm not a fan of Jordan its not my taste for the character but rather the jobber effects comics give to characters such as Batman and Superman. In this case it just happens to support my argument as appose to all the times it hinders it more so.
Yall make the rules and according to those rules feats are feats. Correct? I'm sure if I actually took the time to look I'd find mainstream Batman doing just as bad or worse to Hal there too.

he stopped time. he stood against parallax when other lanterns (including kyle) went down. he came back from the dead, and seconds later he was smacked miles across the moon by sinestro... hal's reaction? a smirk...
kyle might be the torchbearer, and all credit to him, but hal is the king, always has been, always will be...
Bruce, like Green Arrow both have great willpower, however they lack sufficient willpower to get the ring to do much more than simple parlor tricks as per canon storylines.
They would tire out relatively fast and compared to top GL's like Hal, Kyle, John, and Kilowog would get pwned in straight ring battles.

Ermm .. Batman's willpower is severly underestimated (though keep in mind, I'm not suggesting he would beat Hal in a ring fight, especially since the OP made it seem like Batman suddenly recives a GL ring and with no training or anything, he gets to fight Hal)
