	Whoah . . . that near-splash panel of Hal and Wally has a very strange effect when scrolling past . . . Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; especially if your head is swimming from cold meds . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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.

	Then I have absolutely no idea what the timeline on this is. It must be in Flash: Rebirth, right? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	"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.

	How do you expect them to create Frankenvillains if they don't dig up some bodies? Science, people -- science! (Reply to this) (Parent)
