It's the same reason why Flash isn't seen giving characters 1000's of IMPS/second in comics.

(for example, bad guy is in Egypt, Hal is in US...and Hal tells the ring to kill the bad guy without even knowing where he is) has this ever occurred?

Sure.
And by that same token, has Flash ever used 1000's of IMPs (not just punches) per second against someone?
I mean, you must have something concrete other than pure speculation for your justification of this laughable statement...

Nero did that. He created constructs all though out NewYork even in places he couldn't possibly see.
In 52 Hal ordered his ring to destroy all alien technology in the immediate area. It did so easily even to things behind his back.

QFT.A GL can simply tell the ring to stop Flash and hold him in place once he gets within a certain distance.
I know its already been stated, but the GL's reaction has been mentioned. True the HUMAN himself has regular reaction times, but the ring operates on a much faster lvl. Its like Zoom running around punching members of the JLA in the face, yet GL can catch him.
Originally posted by TetragrammatonYes. I can tell you like to be seriously scan-spanked in a debate. Still waiting for scans of a Green Lantern willing something to explode without extending GL energy at it or around it. And still, even if you were able to do that (and I'm guesing you've given up by now), that'd only get you halfway, since you'd still have to deal with a GL being able to finish a thought in their head to do so before any of the Flashes finish their attack.
This thread is now giving me the lulz.

As much as I love Wally and friends I think you need to read more GL books. The ring can attack dozens of targets at once or cover a large area.
In one instance John once used the ring to predict where Wally (he was essentially bloodlusted in terms of using speed) would be and then interfered with his powers.

Point i was trying to make is he did it. Thats was a rebuttal to the "he only has human reflexes" bit.
As far as your scan goes, theres a high possibility that the rings the GL's were trying to catch and contain were moving faster than Barry, Jay and POSSIBLY even Wally.

actually, no, there's no possibility that the rings were moving ANYWHERE near the speed of even the slowest senile Flash...if you look at the scan, one of the ogrish creatures even says 'I got it' before the ring goes through his hand...meaning he was able to have reflexes to catch it, the ring was moving about the speed of fastball pitch imo

I've already shown an example of this. The fact that you want to say it's not valid because it destroys the entire basis of your argument is your prerogative. 🙂
Go ahead and believe Flash wins all you want. All I can say is, judging by your posts, that its coming from pure ignorance of GLs capabilities.

Woah woah. Youre telling me that when a ring searches for a new wearer, it only travels at the speed of a fastball? Rings that travel from sector to sector to find its wearer? Youre highly mistaken. Also, Jay and Barry have no chance of keeping up the a GL flying at top speed. I love Flash as much as the next guy, but c'mon.
Originally posted by jrodslamIm saying in the scan you showed, the ring was moving about the speed of a fastball as the ogre was attempting to catch it....if it was moving anywhere near the speed of a Flash, the ogre would not even come close...the fact that he had 'caught' the ring demonstrates the ring wasn't moving insanely fast as you had claimed

I dont doubt your claim that the ring can move faster than a flash, but it wasnt in that scan, and the socalled elite GLs were befuddled in a simple task of retrieving it
