I am soooo pissed. You don’t kill Batman. You just don’t.
Yeah, totally sucks. In Final Crisis # 6. Batman pulls a god gun and shoots Darkseid dead for good (we think) but unfortunately, Darkie gets off one shot at Bats, and that done fried him up good.
Batman says something like: I swore an oath never to use weapons like this, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime exception to protect ALL LIFE.

Omega Beams Hit Bats.
And then Superman finds him…. sniff. Bastards!
Superman Carrying Batmans Dead Body
But don’t worry. This summer they have a book called Black Lantern. You know Green Lanterns? Based off will power? Now there is a spectrum of rings and powers.
- Yellow Lantern Corp is Fear based.
- Purple is love based.
- Blue is hope based.
- Red Lanterns are rage based.
- And Black Lanterns will be “The dead come to life.” (You get the idea? So maybe Bats isn’t dead.)
So a bunch of previously dead heroes – no doubt Bats, too – will come back as a part of this evil Corp. I’m envisioning a whole … GL/Hal Jordan Spectre thing but on a bigger scale.
You may now commence the ranting! I know I am. This whole Final Crisis series is sheeat!!
… God I hate DC. … Marvel too. Bastich’s!!

Well, I gave up comics for about 4 years and came back to them. INFINITE CRISIS was weak, poorly written and killing off the Original (aka the Earth-2) Superman by that two-bit spoiled brat Superboy takeoff was … well, it sucked. On top of it all, there was a major discontinuity in the story. The Original Superman did not get his powers from a yellow sun, it was always because Krypton-2 natives were millions of years advanced from humans. Therefore (and in continuity of years of Earth-2 lore), Kal-L should not have lost his powers under a red sun like Superboy-Prime and Superman (Kal-El) did. But having Kal-L killed off that way was pure lameness.
Now, we have FINAL CRISIS to somehow make up for the mess in INFINITE CRISIS. Turning the Original Superman into a soulless Black Lantern was the final straw with me. I’m done spending money on comics and especially DC’s long-winded interconnecting stories. Ever since Jeanette Kahn and Time-Warner has taken over DC Comics over 2 decades ago… DC has gone downhill. I’m done.
DC can’t even get a decent Superman movie out… “Superman Returns” really stunk. Brandon Routh doesn’t cut it, the story was rank and Kate Bosworth can’t act. She’s pretty but she cannot act.
Bye bye DC. I’m done with you.
Oh for Christ’s sake! I am sooo tired of these revisions and changes and different Earths and Crisis’ and Infinite this and Universe that and Final Crisis This and Infinite Crisis That. It’s just ridiculous.
I haven’t heard of the deviation from the yellow sun. God they’re stupid. So, how did Kal-El get killed?
WHAT?? Superman is a Black Lantern, F^@%!! I didn’t even know about the whole Black Lantern thing till I heard about Batman dying, ah Jeeze. Stupid DC. “I’m done spending money on comics and especially DC’s long-winded interconnecting stories. ” You said it!
OH! Tell me about Superman Returns. Don’t EVEN get me started brotha!. Guess I’m waiting for the graphic novel to come out so I can swipe it from a buddy or something. Friggin’ comics are too expensive as it is.
Sales are down? Kill Batman or Superman again. (sigh)
I think the only decent series to come out in the last few years have been the latest Joker re-tell, identity crisis, and a fair number of the JLA comics.
The whole color segregation of the lanterns is an interesting concept in a captain planet kind of way – but yeah. This death of Batman is so transparent and ugly that its just plain silly. As soon as DC starts using time travel and alternate dimensions, parallel universes and other such plot-line-drivel, I tend to tune out.
Ah… it felt good to geek all over that.
