Heh, you think that's freaky...I used to co-write an "Ultimate Batman" fan project? And Thomas Wayne turns out to be Two-Face at the end, a paranoid and superintelligent ganglord. We had it that his marriage was very unhappy, and he orchestrated the assassination in order to traumatise Bruce into an adult mindset while scarring his own face with acid, pretending that it had killed him and thus severing any connection between him and the crime-world.

Martha, however...as an act of mercy, he has the killer aim precisely so that the bullet grazes her, damaging her mental abilities. She spends half a year in a hospital, having lost some of her memory...but when Wayne's henchmen come to check on her one day, they find that she has left, having been checked out by a proven friend of her family. That friend drives her away to a small, sunny town where she used to spend her teens...where she first fell in love, and got her heart broken.

A small, sunny town called Smallville.

	I loved that scene. I'm 99% sure Martha will come out of this alive (too soon after Jon's death), so the fear of her getting killed by Lois takes a back seat to the fact that Martha Kent Is Being a Badass. (Reply to this)

who thinks the reason why Kal-L is only threatening to raise Pa Kent is because like Don Hall he's "at peace"

Of course with the revelation they're not really the dead people it's harder to figure why that matters. Perhaps people who are at peace are actually able to fight against rising.

I'm also wondering if they'll use this to show us that you don't necessarily need a green ring and another colored ring but someone fueled mostly by will could defeat a Black Lantern if aided by someone mostly fueled by another emotion.

Actually, since Hal and the Indigo Lantern were able to fend off a BL by combining their powers and the fact that the only way to defeat the Black is to combine all the powers of the Lantern to create a second, 'Light of Creation', maybe the only way one can defeat a Black Lantern is by fully coming to terms with their emotions. If a person dies while he is at peace, like Don or Johnathan, they have come fully to terms wit their emotions and that they have no debts or regrets to anyone whereas the Martian Manhunter died in pain withering as his enemies surrounded him, so he didn't die peacefully and that's why he is a BL.

	except the latest issue of Blackest Night said that it was more like the rings were wearing the dead than the dead were wearing the rings. Ralph was actually beaten by the Indigo Lantern channeling Hal's power, not just fought off. And Sue didn't react. So individual BL's can be beaten. Which is what I was talking about.

	I think we all guessed earlier that the rings were controlling the dead rather than the dead having unfinished business. But these are actually the actual corpses that the rings are on correct? Someone mentioned the idea of the rings just creating like a duplicate of the body, but then that makes black lantern spectre really not make any sense (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

its not really the Spectre that is a black lantern, its Crispus Allen's body that trapped the Spectre's power.

and so far we know two conditions seem to exist. the way the person died determines if they become Lanterns. So yes, unfinished buisness comes into play, which is why Dove didnt come back, he was "at peace" only people that did not die in peace are coming back. the second condition is yes, the body is theirs, thats how it gets their memories.

It's like this: Nekron is wearing these bodies, AND their brains and memories, as puppets. Think of it like he dug someone up and wore their face or something grotesque like that. He's taunting, using guilt as a button to push to stimulate other emotions. The perception that the dead are blaming you or reproaching you, dead who are emotionally important to you(leaving aside the villains, who mainly seem to be focused on the lowest common denominator, fear), and are convincing because of their appearance and the specifics of what they say, will be more likely to overwhelm your rationality and let your emotions get away from you, including anger that the corpse is being used that way and desecrated.

Nekron has a very black sense of humor.
