Green Lantern: Blackest Night ***SPOILERS***

[Thunder]

I'm a Blue Lantern--cool

[marhawkman]

Green here.

I suspect the survey has a priority for the answers. If you're equally qualified for two or more it gives you the one with the highest priority.

As a test I managed to get orange by always choosing the last answer. (4%)
I got Red by using the second(and third) to last. (it's listed as 2%)
Blue as choice 4 on everything. (16%)
choice 3 (or 1) give Green. (44%)
choice 2 is indigo. (16%)
I managed to get star sapphire by cycling through the answers starting at one. (11%)
7532137451 got yellow. (3%)

Huh? 44+16+16+2+4+11+3=96 Must be a rounding issue.

Green Lantern here. When I was a kid, a Green Lantern was all you needed.

Really, can someone clarify why all these other colors are necessary? I mean, what do they represent as opposed to GLs? They have different objectives?

Yes, they have different objectives and there are several reasons why the story line is good rather then "different color means different enemies" of the past.

First they show the contrast between the guardians methods and why they act the way they do.

Second, it is a great allegory on how the forces of those emotions affect our lives. It is a great cautionary tale to never let any one perspective "color" our actions.

Third, it is a great "character study" of these emotion. Red Lanterns are mindless beserkers, Yellow lanterns are sadistic, Blue Lanterns are almost blinded by faith,

Forth, they are a representation of life, whic I am sure plays into the theme of Blackest Night where Death becomes the enemy.

ohhhh i'm indigo.... i though i would be  a star sapphire...

Same. Granted, out of all of the Lantern's, I think Indigo truly is the only one that suits me.

Hope burns Blue for me...I thought I'de be green, but the internet don't lie...right?

[Midnite]

Could we see a Black Lantern Batman? DC seems to be teasing it. Debuting the covers and solicit text for the first month of Blackest Night.

[The Hitman]

Y'see, I don't get that. How can Batman be a Black Lantern if he isn't dead, just time- displaced? And, for that matter, how can Batman be dead and a skelleton in the prestent if he's alive in the future?! HUH!?!

*explodes*

[deano_ue]

I really want to get into this story but it's near impossible to get any GL issue in my comic shop

I'm not sure if this is correct but the Omega Sanction sends him backwards in time, so maybe the body is Batman dead - but Batman is still alive in the past. So he could come back as a Black Lantern because in the present he is dead.

[Torch]

The light within your heart must not go out! Join the Star Sapphires and save love like yours across the cosmos. Show others the joy it brought you. Remember, follow your heart.

"In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight,
let all who worship evil's might,
beware my power - Star Sapphire's Light!

Hmm.  Not bad, not bad.

According to wikipedia, the Omega Sanction causes Batman to die and reincarnate repeatedly, with every life being worse than the last.  As a result, he would already be dead countless of times, including the present.

[daglob]

Actually, I figure that if Batman were dead, he'd change in his blue and gray costume for a green and white one. And he'd still wear his bat ears under his hood. (Check out my skins thread).

[cmdrkoenig67]

I'm a Green Lantern too (and I'm currently wearing my green jammies...LOL!)...I like green.

Well, I was under the impression that he was shot into the future, as the old man that died in the cave with Bats was a grown- up Kammandi, the Last Boy. But, your explainations make sense. Thanks.

Updated the link G Girl

[Glitch Girl]

thanks Midnite.  I can see now.

[marhawkman]

Why is there not one for Star Sapphires?

[Spe-Dog]

Personally, I cannot wait for "Black Lantern: Jonothan Kent"! 

[yell0w_lantern]

Well, at least they can't make Martian Manhunter any lousier.

[marhawkman]

I found the one for Star Sapphire: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/7/7b/Star_Sapphire_Corps_03.jpg Neato!

[BentonGrey]

Bah for zombie Aquaman.

[MJB]

You "bah" at the chance that DC can/will/should re-introduce the one true Aquaman?

Why is that? I'm sorry if you don't agree with the story line but this is the only way currently that DC can/will re-introduce Aquaman.

I would think that you, BentonGrey, would be happy.

[BentonGrey]

I know what you mean MJB, and part of me is happy that they are putting steps into motion to bring back the real Aquaman.  Like I've said before, I think the GL books are probably one of the only areas of DC that make me almost want to start reading modern mainstream comics again.  They seem to be pretty well written, and the concepts they are playing with are quite interesting and engaging to me.  That being said, I think Aquaman deserves better, and I don't just mean with Blackest Night.  Aquaman deserves better than DC has given him for the last twenty years, and the way they squid-ified him and killed him off is just more of the same really.  I feel like, at this point, his return should really be something more, not just part of another event.  To repair the damage they've done to him they really need to reaffirm that he is a mainstay of their universe, and I feel like zombie Aquaman is going to be lost among all the other zombie heroes.   So, "yay" for Blackest Night, "yay" for the return of some other cool characters that DC has slapped around, but "bah" that Aquaman is just another dead face in a crowd.
