In this week's BLACKEST NIGHT #5, the "lord of the dead" Nekron, raised "Batman" from the "dead." This Black Lantern Batman went after those heroes who have been resurrected. Nekron claimed that he allowed these resurrections.
The Black Lantern "Batman" guided the Black Lantern Rings toward the resurrected heroes:

It has been assumed by the readers of the book that the characters listed above were killed by the Black Lantern Rings and then raised from the dead by the Black Lantern Rings.
But I don't buy it.
Did you ever watch THE INHUMANOIDS? I loved THE INHUMANOIDS.
One of the Inhumanoids was called D'Compose. When it touched something living, the victim would be warped and changed into a seemingly undead thing. But they didn't actually die and when exposed to sunlight, they reverted back to what they were before being touched by D'Compose .
I believe that if (when) their connection to the BLACK is severed, then the Nekrotic Eight will revert back to what they were before the Black Rings did their damage to them.
The Nekrotic Eight were NOT killed and then raised from dead. They were altered by the BLACK.
There, I said it!!!
