I was just about to post this. This won't kill the story, but man, will it kill the surprise.
I've been pissed about finding this all day. Great choices by Johns, though.

I very much hope that Superboy is brought back too for this (especially with how much Johns loved writing him and hated that he was told to kill him off) but with E2 Supes, the Superquota has likely been reached and that sucks.
I am fairly certain that Batman will be one too.

Well the Black Rings seek out the dead, so to be honest, expect nearly every dead DC character to come back. I wouldn't be shocked if all the Green and Yellow Lanterns that died in the Sinestro Corp War return.
Also, this is going to be EPIC. More epic than Sinestro Corp War. All the Lantern Corps will fight and fight, and fight, and I'm excited cause the Green Lantern is my favorite hero, so seeing him lead the DC releases this year warms my heart.

I can't wait for this since at this point, Goeff Johns is the only writer DC has that has my complete and total trust. And with what a disaster Final Crisis has been, hopefully this wipes that bad taste out of my mouth

well I figured that it was a joke since at conventions panels for the past year, every time a dead character was brought up, they just say "Black Lantern" then move on to the next question

I'm actually the Fuchsia Lantern, but don't expect to see me in the comics, as my power is obviously fairly limted.

And this is why Green Lantern's section of the comics universe has the best stories going on today...in my opinion.

I could've sworn they also revealed that solomon grundy was going to be one of the black lanterns as well.

Well Geoff Johns did say at a recent convention that anything in the DC world(s) without a pulse could become a Black Lantern, and Grundy is a zombie. He has no pulse, so it makes sense.
Either that, or revive Arkillo from the Sinestro Corps War.

Arkillo wasn't killed in the war. Killowog just took away his ring and finger.

Arkillo wasn't killed in the war. Killowog just took away his ring and finger. To me, he is dead. I know Kilowog said he didn't kill him, but the dude HAD A f***ING BATTLESHIP SMASHED INTO HIM. That kills...well...everyone that isn't Superman, really. If he actually survived that, then Arkillo is invincible. |

Now we need Lantern Corps from the entire rainbow!? What the hell!? It was never just Green and Yellow Lanterns. Star Sapphire was a Violent Lantern. There are only 8 Lantern Corps. 7 of them have a color/emotion from the emotion color spectrum. They are: Green Lantern Corp - Emotion: Willpower, the center of the spectrum. The most balanced, are arguably the strongest. Yellow Lantern Corp - Emotion: Fear, murders and villains. One of the extreme ends of the spectrum. Red Lantern Corp - Emotion: Rage/Anger, people filled with extreme hate, rage, and anger, their emotion overtakes their body and they fight blinded by their emotion. The other extreme end of the spectrum. Violet Lantern Corp - Emotion: Love, mostly chicks make up this Corp. Blue Lantern Corp - Emotion: Hope, formed from the love of two banished Guardians of the Universe Orange Lantern Corp - Emotion: Avarice, these people are controlled by their greed Indigo Lantern Corp - Emotion: Compassion, this Corp carries staffs instead of rings. They specialize in healing and from what little we've seen of them, they'll heal anyone, no matter what Lantern Corp they are apart of. And then there is the Black Lantern Corp, it has no emotion, and the dead wield it. Basically, it is a Lantern Corp of zombies. |
