DC Comics' Justice League has always had a place for diverse heroes balancing their humanity and superhero jobs, like Hal Jordan's Green Lantern and Wonder Woman. Hal is one of the most valued members of the Green Lantern Corps, the powerful space force that looks over the entire universe. Diana is an ambassador from Themyscira who seeks to promote love and equity throughout the world. Both heroes tend to focus on their superhero jobs far more than their civilian jobs, finding difficulties remembering who and how they are. Though Wonder Woman usually gets several reminders of her origins throughout her adventures, Hal Jordan tends to discard his roots in favor of his jobs in space.

In Grant Morrison's 2019 The Green Lantern limited series, Hal confirms that he prefers space to Earth. The first issue introduces Hal on Earth, somewhere near Albuquerque, laying down and looking up at the stars. Hal's girlfriend, Eve Doremus, eventually picks him up and talks to Hal about losing his job again. Eve tells Hal that his career as a test pilot for Ferris Aircraft was a "job deluxe," and now he's working for toy companies and selling insurance. Hal explains that his "real job always came first." It's clear that Hal misses his job as a Lantern and prefers an organized life as a powerhouse on the Justice League.

In Wonder Woman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1, the story "Dear Diana..." (by Mark Waid and José Luis García López) has Hal talk to Diana about balancing his life as a superhero and a civilian. He tells her his many failed jobs as a test pilot, toy salesman, insurance investigator, and more. Diana tells him that "Hal Jordan's life can be messy," while "Green Lantern's well-ordered and purposeful." Diana's empathy touches the Emerald Knight. Ironically, his life is less chaotic, according to him, while up in the stars. Hal thinks to himself if having a civilian job even matters.

Even though he is better suited for his job in space, Hal has a life on Earth. In Morrison's series, Earth temporarily disappears, and Hal clearly shows his distress. He wants to fight for Earth, and even if he prefers space, he enjoys representing his home among the Lanterns. He will always have human roots. Eve Doremus gives him enough of a reason to stay on Earth as well. Even if he has a hard time finding a career and doesn't see the point in his public identity as Hal Jordan, he will always call Earth his home.

Although Hal may not realize it, the importance of the Justice League and his teammates help him a lot. Wonder Woman, for instance, is one of the few people Hal can talk to about these things. He knows she will truly understand. Characters like Green Lantern, Superman, and Wonder Woman have unique relationships among DC's superhero community. If Hal Jordan feels his human identity doesn't make sense, he can be open about it with Diana. It can be heartwarming to see the Justice League not only help each other as superpowered beings but as souls with good hearts.
