There's no reason to think that all of The Twelve are thrilled to be alive again. The Hawks are quite used to being killed and being reborn. MM, Aquaman, Jade, Ronnie and Osiris were heroes. There's no reason to think that they didn't go to their "reward" when they were killed; that they went to "their" Heaven and that they're not too happy to have been pulled out of there. I call this The Buffy Principle.
BRIGHTEST DAY #1 Aquaman summons dead sea life. Martian Manhunter sees visions of himself killing people and morphs into a Black Lantern.
Something is WRONG with that....
Now we come to The Beatrix Kiddo Principle . Don Hall was complete. Don Hall was killed in the line of duty people saving the lives of others and was at peace with his death.
The Nekrotic Eight all died with unfinished business. Just as The Bride forced herself out of a coma and to walk again to avenge what the D.I.V.A.S. did to her in El Paso , so to did the Nekrotic Eight and Hal (Barry is an anomaly*) return from the dead because of unfinished business. Don Hall had no unfinished business, so he is at peace.
But The Twelve may have also been at peace.
There's no reason to think that Martian Manhunter wasn't in his Heaven with his wife and daughter....
Theres no reason to think that Arthur wasn't in his Heaven with his sons....
I'd be cranky if I was pulled from Heaven (although I know where I'm going to end up and it's not up there, but I digress....) and brought back to the harshness of living. I think we're going to find during BRIGHTEST DAY that not all of the RESURRECTED are happy about being alive again.
*It's possible Barry circumvents being at peace because of his emotional tether to Iris , a connection that Don Hall did not have to anyone.
Glad to see you working on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait till the next Brightest Day #2!!!!
See ya around.
Hi Dude,
ReplyDeleteI see that you haven't posted on the Batman boards...
So I thought I might pop by to say that the troll (AntiM1) is not around anymore. The daddy guy is...but I still think you could just ignore him and continue to frequent the boards.
Best
Bat-Spock out.
But Barry never died. He went into the Speed Force and then came out...
