"You will be on special assignment to Earth," the ring responded promptly, "we are aware of how important it is."

Batman was a man who made quick decisions in a crisis. And, honestly, he HAD wondered how useful a power ring might be. "I accept," he said, and donned the ring.

Notes: At one point former Green Lantern Soranik Natu took over the Sinestro Corps and tried to make them space cops. Didn't last, sadly.
