Synopsis for Green Lantern: "Where the Heck is Green Lantern?"
In his apartment, Hal Jordan wakes up with Arisia reminding him of his appointment to Oprah's TV show. He realizes he overslept and hurries to get going. On his way, he stops a car chase, getting wounded by a yellow bullet shot by one of the thieves in the process.
Hal arrives at Oprah's studio with seconds to spare. The TV show starts and Oprah starts asking him questions, one of them being why was he, of all people, picked to be a Green Lantern. To that, Hal replies he was chosen because he's totally without fear. The audience starts to laugh, leaving Hal confused.
