Blackest Night #4 Bat Member Appearance

HOLY CRAP. AZRAEL. MY SURPRISE REFUSES TO SHUT OFF MY CAPS.

Damn it all if that ain't awesome. I guess "Jean Paul Valley Lives!" get to come true after all, kinda. And now we officially know that Jean Paul did indeed die at the end of his series.

With any luck he can kill the new Azrael.

Oh and I loved this Scarecrow bit. It does make sense for his emotions to just be utterly burnt out after years of using the Fear Toxin.

	I agree, I love what they did with the scarecrow here That last line of his especially (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ditto. I'm continuing to enjoy BN immensely. The random people who have perfectly good reasons to either ignore/counter the zombies (like the Red Lantern's latest twist) and/or the portrayal of many of them is really good writing. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hehe, completely forgot that follow up one, guess it does work, though that's probably more related to Black Lantern Ted. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	rewrites previous comment You know what? That ain't Jean Paul. Why do I say that? Because there's been dozens of Azraels before him. And that could be ANY ONE OF THEM. SO HE'S NOT JEAN PAUL. AND THAT'S IT. HE'S IN A COMA SOMEWHERE LALALALALA NOT LISTENING LALALALALALALALALALA (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, beat me to posting this. I feel bad for JPV that all his costumes were so awful that they had to revert him to the original so it wouldn't be so bad. And that he's gotta be for-sure dead now (though i'm a little surprised they didn't confirm it back in 04 when they tried to tear down everything else Denny'd contributed). (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hmmm. For a second there I thought it was the Reaper (From Batman Year One). I'd love to see that guy come back. Or not. I love DeadAz's "Rrrrraaar!". I'm surprised he didn't go "Boo!" Or "Boggie Boggie!" (Reply to this)

	In my canon Jean Paul hung up the costume, found a small community in gotham and dedicated himself to protecting THAT. (Reply to this)

	pepperspray101 2009-10-29 04:02 am UTC (link)
	NOOOOOOOO!! That's not Jean Paul Valley! He can't have died too! I want Cass to find him alive and working a normal computer job and let them be friends again! How depressing that even THAT one friend that understood her is also dead. Bad DC! BAD!! (Reply to this)

	This is the best portrayal of the Scarecrow in ages, the idea that fear has literally been purged from him after all his experiments backfiring is inspired. (Reply to this)

	You know, I COULD be wrong, but I'm almost certain that Azrael was wearing a different sort of costume than that at the time of his death - this looks more like his original costume. I seem to recall him without a hood, and with a different sort of mask. So this MIGHT be someone else - was there an Azrael doppelganger anywhere, perchance? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You feel sorry for the poor citizens in Gotham getting stabbed in the heart, but (a) I'm still positive this whole event will end with mass resurrections, which will include all the random civilians who got in the way, and (b) at this point, if you still live in Gotham, you've really only got yourself to blame.

	That's very disappointing. Denny's ending for the character negated for a crossover. So he can growl at Scarecrow. (Reply to this)
