Larfleeze

The one shot comic, Larfleeze Christmas Special, was a funny, heartwarming, and also kind of sad DC Christmas Special where Larfleeze sees Christmas as a chance to gain more loot, and ends up learning the true meaning of it from Hal Jordon... even if the influence of the Orange Ring limits it's success.

But what I found interesting was that it came with a Christmas Cookie recipe. Orange Lantern Christmas Cookie. And I'm hoping to bake some for my family this year. But while I plan, get ingredients and schedule, I can't help but wonder, who's the real inventor of this recipe?

Geoff Johns was the writer of the Christmas Special. But unless he's also a baker (which I doubt) I'm pretty sure he didn't invent the recipe. Did DC contact an actual baker to help make the recipe? Or do you think there was someone working at DC who had some baking skills?

Here's the recipe if you are curious.

1/4 cup butter softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons of orange juice concentrate, thawed

1 teaspoon of orange zest

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

A dash of salt

1/2 cup white chocolate chunks

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. In a big bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, orange juice concentrate and orange zest. Then add an egg and vanilla until it looks delicious

3. In a small bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, and a dash of salt together

4. Add the small bowl to the big bowl and stir until smooth. Mix in the white chocolate chunks

5. Drop small balls of dough across a greased cookie sheet.

6. Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown

7. Let the cookies cool as you make the frosting

Frosting

2 Tablespoons orange concentrated, thawed

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 tablespoons butter, softened

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1. Mix all the above until it looks like frosting

2. Spread the frosting across the cooled cookies

3. (optional) Make the frosting resemble the Orange Lantern Corp symbol.

Makes two dozen cookies or one serving.

A War of Light video game, your character is totally customizable and you get to pick a Lantern Ring. Whatever ring you pick dictates what quests you get, but all of them lead up to a Blackest Night quest. After completing certain quests you unlock more avatars to use but your custom will be used for cutscenes and stuff. For example; after Blackest Night, you unlock Black Lantern Wonder Woman and Superman, Blue Lantern Flash, Red Lantern Mera, and so on.

Hey, I’m a novice dc fan who only just started reading Green Lantern: New Guardians (I’m up to number 4 right now) and I have a few questions (mostly regarding the green lantern franchise)

1. Were there any other Orange Lanterns other than Larfleeze?

2. Did Dex-Starr ever get his revenge on the person who killed his owner?

3. How many ways are there for somebody to become a white lantern?

4. What happened to Fatality and Munk in New Guardians after #2? It feels like they just disappeared.

5. How does The Batman Who Laughs see? It looks like that spiky thing on his face obscures his vision

Has There ever been a Larfleeze Redemption Arc? If so could someone please direct me to that. Otherwise Do you think it would be cool? I think it would be.

I think that could be cool maybe have him become a Blue Lantern. Maybe you could have a story where Saint Walker is killed or presumed dead (If you want to leave his return open) and Larfleeze could overcome greed. I choose him because Sinestro and yellow lanterns are just too evil to turn good and Atrocious and the Red Lanterns would become Pink Lanterns because of the similarities Love has to Anger.

I also choose Hope for Larfleeze because in a sense Larfleeze represents the most human of all of us Greed and the way us as humans because we all succumb to the Greed of something. Normally money but there is other stuff (Power etc.).

Larfleeze also is a very powerful lantern but what holds him back is greed. Which represents many people they accomplish so much but they lose it all because they want more and more pushing the limits and testing fate like a gambler who even if they win won’t stop and then they lose all their earnings. That is why I think Larfleeze is the most relatable character in DC.

But a Redemption Arc would show hope and how even though humanity is over run with natural greed you can overcome it and our naturally cowardly nature (you ever notice how Larfleeze is the first to retreat).

He is also a character who can be easily shown at every level. In LEGO games who comes across the clearest out of the Lanterns? It’s Larfleeze his greed can be shown to younger kids (LEGO games and CN cartoons). Now I’m not saying only younger kids can do those I’m a teenager and I love LEGO games and the GL cartoon but it is targeted at a younger audience. While in the games Star Sapphire kind of comes across we really don’t see what the Green Lanterns stand for and the Blue Lanterns kind of just talk like a monk. Atrocious you can see is angry but he just seems like a regular thug meanwhile the only thing you get with Sinestro is just he hates Hal. At other levels(Comics and hopefully movies soon) Larfleeze comes across just as clearly and that is why I think Larfleeze is DC’s best Villan and it would be incredible to see a Redemption Arc for him even if it only lasts like 5 issues.
