	They advertised that the JLA tie-in would be the Leaguers versus zombie-fied Doctor Light. I'll probably pick it up, it's one of the only tie-ins I was going to buy (that and the Booster Gold, and Batman/Superman one). (Reply to this)

	Unlikely, since it seems that while the BLs appear to have a personality similar to the bodies they're inhabiting, they have somewhat of a hive mind. It should be interesting to see Zatanna and the good Dr. Light take him on, though. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

The Justice League of America, an organization dedicated to upholding virtue and law, decency and freedom, justice and honour... kept the bodies of its defeated foes on display in some macabre museum. In the Hall of Justice.

Wow.

That's...

That's pretty frakking twisted, right there. Of course, none of them seemed to have a problem with Flash time-freezing that one kid and leaving him as a living statue, so I guess this makes senses.

	They weren't ON DISPLAY, per se. They were in a morgue-type vault, kinda like on Torchwood. You couldn't just wander in and stare at the bodies. I think they moved them there because of some supervillain body part theft plotline going on in the Nightwing title, and he had Superman and the rest move the bodies to keep them from getting defiled.

	That's Barry, not Wally - note the belt. (And the eyes, but the belt is easier to notice.) And, you know, Hal calling him Barry a panel later. >_> And the fact that he's clueless about the fact that and why the vault is there. Still, even without the dialogue...the belt.

	"The plan was to bring over the remains of our friends too, but we didn't want to rob the families of paying their respects." Yikes. It's like the concept that the vilains might have families that would like to pay their respects doesn't even cross their mind.... (Reply to this) (Parent)

It's not like that.

It's not like they stuffed and posed their dead enemies, no.

But for all Clark and Dick are talking about how to protect dead heroes with a secure vault, I notice that every name on that wall in front Barry is a dead *villain*. Hal flat out states that the heroes get buried by their families (if their identity is still secret) or at Valhalla (if public).

Dead villains apparently get dug up and stuck in a morgue -- not even a crypt, but a *morgue*, which implies that the heroes can take the bodies out for a look any time they like -- which says to me that the heroes have been exhuming the bodies of their enemies, with or without permission of the surviving kin.

Frankly, I'm getting the distinct sense that the heroes have been *graverobbing*, in at least a few cases, which is just disgusting.

yep, they did essentially graverob

but what's the alternative? leave them scattered across the country/world knowing that people are going to try and dig them up and use/abuse their bodies? you can't guard different graves all across the country successfully, and it seems more disrespectful to let random people take advantage of their corpses then to collect all of the bodies and keep them safely tucked away

and as for the surviving kin . . . assuming that they're not already dead by that villian in question's own doing and that they do actually want to see the body of their relative who committed horrible crimes, I'm sure that the Justice League would let them see the body if they asked

but what's the alternative?

Cremation, or reburial in Valhalla -- if it's high security enough for the heroes, than cordon a section of it off and stick the villains there too.

The first Icicle had family for sure -- they were very upset that Wally wound up inheriting so much of his money. I don't know about other supervillains, but just because someone is a notorious thief and/or murderer doesn't mean that they don't have family that would want to bury them.

	I'm hoping they come up with some sort of prism to divide Dr. Light beams so when she zaps him he'll get hit with a couple of colors of the emotional spectrum and drop. (Reply to this)
