Green Lantern doesn't HAVE to make kryptonite to win.
Just create a force bubble around Supe's head.
He runs out of air and dies.
Unless we're talking pre-crisis Superman where he doesn't have to breathe (And should've been called "God".) in which case ANYTHING is screwed if having to fight against that..

I AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT. THE BEST OF THE BEST LANTERNS COULD BEAT SUPERMAN INCLUDING JOHN Stewart BECAUSE HE IS ONE OF THE BEST TOO.OTHER GOOD ENOUGH LANTERNS COULD WIN TOO.FOR NORMAL LANTERNS IT COULD GO EITHER WAY BUT THEY TO MOST LIKELY COULD BEAT SUPERMAN BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE MORE NORMAL LANTERN OR STORY WRITER..

Comparative strength
quote-
Following the Byrne reboot, Superman's strength tends to fluctuate depending on the amount of solar energy his cells have absorbed and the writer of the particular story. He has received a
temporary boost in power after surviving a plunge into Earth's yellow sun, and has had his powers depleted when deprived of such energy. Although the limits of how much energy
Superman can absorb, and by extension the maximum limits of his power has never been stated, he has moved mountains, and on one occasion flew into the sun, after which he was able
to move the planetoid Pluto when it became Warworld.[2] Additionally, because of the solar energy that empowers him, he has occasionally been depicted as being potentially immortal, or
as having a different aging process, most notably in the DC One Million mini-series.[3]
Characters such as Captain Marvel, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, and Orion have been described over time as near-equals, equals, or in the first case even slightly more than a
match to the Man of Steel. When the Modern Era Supergirl was introduced, it was suspected that she was stronger than her cousin, but this was due to the fact that Superman had
learned to restrain his strength through years of living with weaker individuals, an ability that Kara Zor-El had not yet learned.
It is important to note that while Superman may arguably be the physically strongest DC hero, there are certain characters who equal or rival his strength, most notably Darkseid, Bizarro,
Lobo, the Cyborg Superman, Eradicator, the original Mongul, General Zod, Shaggy Man/Wade Eiling, and Black Adam, while Doomsday and Despero have occasionally been shown as
stronger, the former being able to effortlessly stand his ground against the entire Justice League, and the latter defeating Superman, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, and Power Girl at
the same time. Certain heroes and villains with magical capabilities, like the Spectre, Zatanna, and Doctor Fate,have displayed cosmic level power vastly beyond Superman's
capabilities. The Flash possesses the ability to travel at the speed of light, shunting the required energy towards infinity, and enabling him to perform such feats as defeating a White
Martian with one punch,[9] or almost overcoming the Anti-Monitor single-handedly. Hal Jordan, with the will-fueled power of the Green Lantern ring, has also been cited as being a match
for Superman, being able to lay him down with one punch while possessed by the evil symbiote Parallax.The Guardians of the Universe allegedly possess abilities dwarfing those of
regular Green Lantern Corps members. Kyle Rayner once nearly contained a supernova, and when inhabited by the benevolent symbiote "Ion", was recently touted as the most powerful
of Earth's superheroes, as was its later Daxamite host Sodam Yat.
i got this COMMENT from WEBSITE.
Everything would actually depend on the plot and the writer's script...
Superman (Kal-El) vs Green Lantern (depends on which Green Lantern? There are 7,200 candidates to choose from.)
But among the candidates, Hal Jordan (even if he's not in his Parallax days or even Spectre days ) can beat Superman (which he did
already in the past). John Stewart also defeated Superman during The Green Lantern Rebirth storyline. Alan Scott can also defeat
Superman, because his powers are based on magic. Kyle Rayner can beat Superman during his Ion days, but currently, i don't know. But
then again, everyone knows that Superman's weaknesses are kryptonite, magic, and blocking the sun's yellow radiation. The Green
Lantern Power Ring has the ability to simulate any radiation including kryptonite radiation, so... game over for Superman!
one of the most powerful lanterns-
John Stewart%u2019s ring provides him with the abilities of all other Green Lanterns. These abilities include flight and limited invulnerablility. As with all other Green Lanterns, the ring is a weapon of the mind and powered by will, therefore only limited to the wearer%u2019s imagination. Like all Green Lanterns, Stewart's personality affects his ring's creations, giving them a solid, architectural quality. In Green Lantern: Rebirth, Hal Jordan remarks that "everything John builds is solid". Hal has also remarked that Stewart is the best flyer in the Corps. In Green Lantern 26 it was shown that John's willpower exceeds the limit of his ring (when he tried to recreate a planet from scratch), a feat that has not been discussed before which remains to be seen how this will play upon events in the future.

FIRST APPEARANCE:
Green Lantern v.2 #87 (January 1972)
John has no inherent metahuman abilities but weilds the most powerful weapon in the universe. The Green Lantern's ring channels the immense power of the Guardians of the Universe. From their central power batter, the ring's energy can be used to contain or affect almost all forms of matter and energy. The ring is also frequently used to build solid plasma constructs. The plasma is most often used for force or to construct force fields.
The ring also has a measure of "intelligence." It can be instructed to search for information, and it can propel the wearer at light speed through space. The rings have one crucial weakness: their green energies can not be used against the color yellow. This is because of the presence of Parallax (the universal embodiment fear) inside the central power battery. If the ring's weilder has sufficient will power to overcome fear, the weakness to yellow lessens. In addition, the rings must be purposely recharged every 24 hours.
note-yellow is not a weakness anymore
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ON THIS.
BYE FOLKS.
