I could've sworn they also revealed that solomon grundy was going to be one of the black lanterns as well. in the Faces of Evil: Grundy oneshot written by Johns, The man that Grundy used to be reappeared and he was told that he has 1 week to break his curse with Alan Scott helping him as Alan was told he must succeed since Grundy cannot be allowed to survive and be a part of Blackest Night this will play out in a Grundy miniseries launching soon

Ok, I'm sorry, but I really REALLY hope these horror geeks are quickly filtered out of comics. I'm sick and tired of these retarded zombies popping up everywhere.

Blackest Night was planned from roughly the time Geoff Johns started Green Lantern: Rebirth. He was planning this for years. Hell he has it planned so perfectly out that, if there are no delays, it'll be finished in June 2010. So it clearly wasn't a spur of the moment thing. Also, dude, they are zombies! Like pirates, everything is better with zombies!

I've read the same rumours about Batman being a Black Lantern.
Likewise there are the rumours about Superman becoming a Blue Lantern.

I could easily see Supes as a Blue or even an Indigo Lantern, as hope and compassion are two of his biggest personality traits. That being said, Batman also fits the Black Lantern, cause he is "dead". Now, what would a guy like Oliver Queen be? To me, Green Arrow seems more Red Lantern or Orange Lantern. Even better, what Corp will Hank Henshaw join? Will he stay with the Yellow Lanterns, even though his only reason for join the Corp was because he thought the Anti-Monitor could finally kill him, or would he go to another Corp that perfectly fits his #1 emotion, the Red Lantern Corp? Or will he just do his own thing and cause chaos amongst all the Corps with his Manhunters?

Why does everyone have to be a lantern? Can't Aquaman just stay Aquaman?

Batman being a BlackLanturn is interesting given the Sinestro ring was confused because fear and willpower was in him.
I don't think every living meta will become a lanturn.

Red Lanterns, Black Lanterns, Blue Lanterns, White Lanterns, Purple Lanterns, Indigo Lanterns, Orange Lanterns, Fuschia Lanterns!!!!? Green Lanterns and Yellow Lanterns weren't enough!? 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. I still say there should only be Green Lanterns and Yellow Lanterns.

Well thanks to Batman R.I.P., he's technically dead, and the Black Ring can go to any dead being. And since Batman is technically dead, or at least Bruce Wayne, he could potentially become a Black Lantern.

Actually I can see something happening like Hal Jordan's dad being a Black Lantern to basically f*** with him.

Man I hate having switched to TPB's.
It gets so tempting to dig in when DC has such awesome-sounding stuff coming out and I'm trying to sit back, save money, and read in one sitting when they are abysmally slow on TPB releases.
Urgh...

Parallex taunted him with what his dad said before he died. Yeah. I mean as awesome as Sinestro Corps War was, it was nothing but one huge as set up for Blackest Night. Look at all the things that happened: - Sinestro caused the Guardians to rewrite the Book of Oa, causing new laws/rules to be made, the first and so far only one revealed was Green Lanterns could use lethal force. - This new found lethal force has now caused the Green Lanterns to be something feared. - The rewriting of the Book caused Ganthet and Sayd to be banished and as a result, they created the Blue Lantern Corp to help prepare for Blackest Night. - Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner were both taunted by Parallax about the death of one of their parents. Hal's dad, and Kyle's mom. - Many of the Lost Lanterns were killed and a good chunk of the survivors either changed Lantern Corps or gained new roles in the Green Lantern Corp. - The Anti-Monitor was flung to a planet in Sector 666 and became the power source of the Black Power Battery and thus...the Black Lantern Corp was born. Oh, and never mind the fact that almost all of the Lantern Corps that will initiate the Blackest Night and cause the destruction of the universe are formed.
