no the point of my post was to put to rest who the superman was, im just trying to clear up the confusion. ive read the stories and am staying on top of whats goin on now. i keep reading what others have said and its wrong, this is just to be clear. as about superboy, he might be back but wont be called superboy, as per the reason they killed him in the first place. they cant use the name superboy without paying siegel and shuster's kids.


spoilers





the old firestorm will be a black lantern as well...

So we got a black lantern
Superman
Martain Manhunter
Firestorm
But who else could they think of
Original Sandman?
Conner Kent ( since we can't call him Superboy)
Elongated man?
Dr. Light? ( remember they don't all have to be heroes )
Starman 2
Starman 3
Terra
Blue Beetle
but who else?

That's the thing... they can use this chance to bring back anyone and everyone who has ever (or will soon) died. That's potentially the largest army possible as it does not include those alive now, or those whose time has not yet come.

But if we potentially see anyone who has ever died, and is still dead, would said zombie have all the powers they possessed when alive? And should the black ring be taken from them are we left with only a corpse? But more importantly, when exactly does Blackest Night start? I know GL titles are beginning to give tidbits of info but when does the event really start? Is is going to be DC's big summer event, or smaller like Rebirth was?

It would be a crazy idea to bring back Thomas and Martha Wayne as Black Lanterns. That would kill Bruce

I'd be more curious to see what the effect would be on a dead 'undead' character. Say Solomon Grundy is dispatched (like, again). Would he be like a mega powerful BL having already been killed to become what he did?

Except that based on Grant Morrison's goofball storylines over the last year, Bruce is currently kinda dead and Thomas Wayne is kinda alive.
