  • Throughout the decades, death has plagued the DC Universe and taken the lives of heroes and villains alike. But to what end? As the War between the different colored Lantern Corps rages on, the prophecy of the Blackest Night descends and it's up to Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps to lead DC's greatest champions in a battle to save the Universe from an army of undead Black Lanterns made up of fallen Green Lanterns and DC's deceased heroes and villains.

    I actually take issue with saying Wonder Woman getting the Violet Ring is lame. "She got it because Woman" is bullshit. Wonder Woman's entire character was built on love and peace. Her getting the Violet ring makes the most sense in the world.

      Wonder Woman has been portrayed as a more ruthless and violent character in some books (eg Kingdom Come, New 52 to some extent) which is probably what Ben is thinking of here.

    • @InoMercy
      @InoMercy 8 років тому +8

      Which I usually have a problem with. It can work, like in the Justice League cartoon, and probably Kingdom Come I've haven't read it yet.

      +Ethan Marsh Granted I don't read too many DC books atm, but I did read the full run of the Brian Azzarello (Vol 1-6) run in the New 52 and she never came off as particulary violent and ruthless. Based on this version of Wonder Woman, I'm not sure why Sal felt the Violet Ring was lame. Love is a pretty strong emotion after all. For me the ring suited her pretty well.

    • @SrGurkman
      @SrGurkman 8 років тому +7

      +Ebrehlac00 she seems a lot more violent than pre-New 52 Wondy, but she's a lot more diplomatic than most New 52 versions of characters. In a world where Wally West and Billy Batson are jerks, she's practically a saint.

    I wasn't bothered by Wonder Woman being love. Mainly because I didn't really view it as like 'she's a woman so obviously she has to be love', I saw as like
    She's an a person who just loves humanity and will fight tooth and nail for it.

    Wonder Woman being a Star Sapphire makes perfect sense. At her best, she always makes an effort to love and understand everyone, even her enemies, no matter how evil they are. I’m not saying she wouldn’t have enough willpower to become a Green Lantern or anything like that, but still. Love suits her much better.

  • @nemesis3587

    It was really a big missed opportunity not bringing everybody back. It was a good story and DC could be use this story for relaunch instead of universe changing reboot.
    Actually Alan Moore's prophecy was about his Twilight of the Gods story but the deal didn't go throug. Instead the ideas used for this story and Kingdom Come.

    Well, technically the original Black Hand wasn't a weirdo necrophiliac dude, that all came after Infinite Crisis. Originally he was just a dude from a nice, well respected family. He didn't like them, so he became a criminal. He had this device that could sap the energy from things. While initially just used to take the residual energy from GL's ring, the writers got more creative, like when he took the energy that protected Flash's body from his own speed. He also talked to the readers sometimes. Other than that, he was just a fun villain. Nowadays I hate him, but I love the classic stories.
