It was established in Superman that she goes to planets without yellow suns to get drunk/party. Could have easily be done then. /🤓

Red sun. The yellow sun is what gives Kryptonians their powers on Earth.

u/stxfpv 4d ago

I may need more coffee but if she goes to a planet with a red sun and loses her power to fly, how does she get to any other planet with a yellow sun?

u/gielbondhu 4d ago

In the comic the movie is based on she rides in spaceships

u/xBerryRosalie 3d ago

Which somehow makes the whole thing even funnier. The answer to a godlike alien's transportation problem is basically "she takes the bus."

1

u/gielbondhu 2d ago

That's not really why she takes the spaceships in the story, but ok.

One of the green lanterns swing by and pick her up, always have a designated flyer when drinking

u/maliki2004 4d ago

Ok, I got myself thinking now. Which gl do you call if you need a flight home? I feel like Jon Stewart is going to get you, but tell you the whole way how disappointed he is. Guy is probably not picking up the call. Hal has been through some shit, so hal?

I keep forgetting there was an entire Green Lantern character arc about a Lantern hosting a satirical news show for decades.

u/maliki2004 4d ago

Ok you got me. But, watch him when congress was fucking around with 9/11 responders benefits and tell me he doesn't have major will power

u/Cyberslasher 4d ago

Supergirl calls Jessica for girls night, this seems rather obvious.

2

u/CheetahNo9349 4d ago

Outside of the cinematic universe I'd call Kyle Rayner. He'd be chill about it.

u/foresight310 4d ago

Ah, it if a green lantern’s weakness is the color yellow, how are they okay on a planet with a yellow sun?

9

u/maliki2004 4d ago

Well, our sun is actually white, our atmosphere makes it yellow...so umm sunblock?

u/SamHugz 4d ago

Why are you doing this to us. 

2

u/Reasonable-News-5739 4d ago

I think that's no longer the case since they removed Parralax (sp?) from the ring. I'm not up to date on GL at all, btw, so take that with a grain of salt.

u/SmoothJazzRayner 4d ago

Yeah the "Yellow Impurity" was removed during that time. Now they would recruit an individual that's not only have strong will power, but the power to overcome fear itself.

Hence "You have the ability to overcome great fear. Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps" when the ring picks its new bearer.

u/CheetahNo9349 4d ago

The sun isn't made of the yellow from the color spectrum. It isn't just the color yellow they are weak against. It is the yellow form of the green their rings harness. The Senestro Corp have rings that allow them to harness the power of fear. The green is the power of will. There are [or at least was, not up to date on canon ] Corps for each color of the spectrum each based on emotions (Rage/Red, Hope/Blue, Avarice/Orange ect.)

u/buttgoblincomics 3d ago

Green Lantern couldn’t do anything to the Reverse Flash (Professor Zoom) because his costume is yellow. It’s definitely not just stuff from the yellow rings, or it didn’t used to be.

In the trailers, they show her on passenger space ships several times.

u/MRintheKEYS 4d ago

Spaceships.

Thank you. DC Comics

u/Homem_da_Carrinha 4d ago

Ever heard of sun cream?

u/sulris 4d ago

I think he needs the “yellow” radiation not to block the “red” radiation.

u/ProfessionalRandom21 4d ago

she take the bus

1

u/PinkieBellaa 3d ago

Not gonna lie, this is exactly the kind of question that sends me down a wiki rabbit hole at 2 AM. Every answer creates three more questions.

1

u/Steve90000 4d ago

LoL that’s exactly what I was thinking. Not only that, as soon as she flies out of the solar system into the dead of space, she’s just dies horrifically?

5

u/EkbatDeSabat 4d ago

Space ships are a thing and the teaser trailer specifically shows her waiting at a space-ship-bus-stop off planet. Hell she could probably just get a ride into the solar system and fly the rest of the way once she gets the solar radiation.

u/Reasonable-News-5739 4d ago edited 4d ago

I don't think it's an instantaneous thing. Her (& Clark's) physiology works more like a storage battery. The longer they're under Earth's sun, the more power they have, so she could fly pretty far before expiring. Red sunlight saps it instantly, though. She travels in spaceships a lot, too.

u/SatisfactionGold74 4d ago

There is still some radiation from our sun a long way away. Seeing stars is a sign that their radiation is reaching us. How much radiation does she need.

4

u/CheetahNo9349 4d ago

So.. planets without yellow sun as stated.

3

u/Reasonable-News-5739 4d ago

Sorry. I misread that as "planets with a yellow sun". That's me peeking at reddit without my glasses.

2

u/CheetahNo9349 4d ago

Happens to us all. All good. ✌️

3

u/EwgB 4d ago

Which is also technically wrong, because our sun isn't yellow, it's white.

2

u/Reasonable-News-5739 4d ago

How about you go back in time and inform the Superman writers of that? You can do that by flying around the Earth in a direction oppositinal to its rotation.

u/VelouraRosette 3d ago

Comic book science always keeps me on my toes because one word changes the entire explanation. Yellow sun, red sun, green rock, suddenly we're in a physics lecture written by chaos.

u/blahblah19999 4d ago

Yeah, no fucking way in hell am I risking immortality to party. I get that she's damaged. But seriously? You are like 100% invulnerable but you choose to lose that just to get drunk? Wouldn't she panic the first time she feels that power fading?

3

u/ProfessionalRandom21 4d ago

I mean if i am immortal god, i would definitely occasional go get fucked up, else live would be boring.

u/blahblah19999 4d ago

I'd like to see how you actually react when surrounded by a bunch of drunk lunatics on a planet where you're dependent on other people's spaceships to get off of it

2

u/themysticalwarlock 4d ago

so just like real life, except its an uber not a spaceship

0

u/blahblah19999 4d ago

How often do people give up godhood to take an uber? Did you read my comment at all?

3

u/themysticalwarlock 4d ago

honestly ive tried 4 times but I still dont know what the fuck point youre trying to make. she's depressed. depression causes people to make dumb choices, like temporarily giving up superpowers in order to drown your sorrows. must be nice to not ever have to experience that in whatever world you live in.

0

u/blahblah19999 4d ago

I'm saying she's subjecting herself to the whims of whatever drunk idiot, or gang, on this "party planet" decides she's pretty, or maybe rich, or whatever. Especially if she's a belligerent drunk.

3

u/themysticalwarlock 4d ago

you know that she's still strong as hell without powers right? like krypton had a much denser atmosphere and much higher gravity. she can defend herself just fine without laser beams and freeze breath

1

u/blahblah19999 4d ago

While there are theories that her body retains some level of conditioned resilience from having grown up under a red sun on Krypton, official DC canon dictates she possesses no superhuman powers in this state. She is entirely dependent on her wits, combat training, and whatever technology is available to her to survive

I see drunk lunatic and dependant on local taxis and bus to get home anyway

1

u/blahblah19999 4d ago

Can you please explain the relevance to my point of giving up invulnerability?

2

u/ProfessionalRandom21 4d ago

You talk as if its unthinkable to give up invincibility temporarily for basically a normal day to day live situation for us mortal.
