Bleh. Poor [blackout]J'onn[/blackout] just can't catch a break.

 

[Assassin]

Cant wait to see batman as a black lantern

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I hope the only thing he's capable of saying is, "I'm Batman."

 

[WompuM]

Those look absolutely terrifying. I am pumped.

 

[BlackLantern]

so does each Lantern group have something like an "Ion"??

 

[TheCorpulent1]

So far we only know of Ion the Ironically Passive Space Whale and Parallax the Evil Space Cockroach.

 

[Assassin]

I think Superboy prime will be the one to take down E2 Superman, and batman will fight the blackness and set himself free if he's a BL, i mean if he can break antilife, he can surely break death

 

[Franklin Richards]

Does this mean the Wasp is going to be a Black Lantern now?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Johns would say yes. Bendis would say yes and she'll b****-slap Pym back after all these years, totally missing the point once again.

 

[hippie_hunter]

The toys look great but I hate the idea of making my fav version of Superman into a BL.

If it makes you feel better, my favorite superhero (Aquaman) is becoming a Black Lantern.

Parallax doesn't look like a roach to me....he looks like one of those things from "Dead Space"

Really? That's pretty f***ing lame. So is the guy who's been showing up in Aquaman's Silver Age costume now and then just Joseph in different clothes or what?

DiDio stated that Aquaman returns in Blackest Night.

I doubt that it is Orin on account that they've been calling him the "mysterious new Aquaman"

Also Morrison had this to say:

One of the things that we're doing is, obviously as part of the story the whole DC Multiverse is under threat, and we're beginning to see a little bit more of what that means now that Darkseid's 'Fall' has actually caused the entire structure of the Multiverse to collapse. So we're starting to see characters who may be from elsewhere and may be coming from different worlds in the Multiverse or from different timelines. And Aquaman could well be something like that, although I'm not going to blow the whole thing yet. But yeah, he's going to be quite big in it, and we're bringing him back just to try and get an Aquaman in position that we can all understand. You may notice that J.G. drew his legs with the 'water camouflage' effect from the Craig Hamilton -era costume and he has a slightly-unshaven Clint Eastwood look so he's not entirely the man we know."

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, I figured that meant that Orin was back but no one knew how. Meh. Hopefully all these zombie Lanterns are restored to life at the end of Blackest Night.

 

[hippie_hunter]

So am I. I'd love to see J'onn and the real Aquaman appear.

Perhaps Batman comes back in Blackest Night as well

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ugh, I'd really just rather have Orin back rather than some funky other-Earth version of Aquaman.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I think Superboy prime will be the one to take down E2 Superman, and batman will fight the blackness and set himself free if he's a BL, i mean if he can break antilife, he can surely break death

Bingo. I believe Batman will be saved from death by the end of The Blackest Night.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Is there a picture to go with that Morrison quote

 

[BlackLantern]

Does Morrison mean that god awful blue and white costume??

 

[sethcohen]

hahahahahahahahahaha... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha
hal you suck hahahahaha

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Does Morrison mean that god awful blue and white costume??

That was the costume he was referring to. Come to think of it, does someone have a scan of Aquaman's appearance in Final Crisis so we can see what he was actually talking about?

 

[Assassin]

Aww man i love hal's new look. Keep it that way plzzzzz

 

[sethcohen]

Aww man i love hal's new look. Keep it that way plzzzzz

i cant wait til he gets every color ring so we can call him the rainbow lantern! then in a fit of hal jordan brand trademarked awesomeness, hell mash em all together to become the white lantern!

 

[BojacRedleif]

Why did this never occur to me...
did DC just rip off Marvel Zombies? (sorta)

Like I was looking at the figures and I was like "That's awesome it look...just...like...Marvel Zombies" except they get extra super powers.

 

[WompuM]

I would say no. These aren't zombies since they don't bite and infect. They are just dead people, and they have rings and belong to a corps with a define leader. They are an element of a larger story. Plus, MZ was always very tongue and cheek, very high in gore and going for shock value. Just a different kinda story. But I could be wrong. Maybe there will be a black lantern Wildebeest with no head.
