I'm really dissapointed with Batman Blackest Night 2.

I was hoping too much from this book maybe. Like a great battle against Deadman and Black Lantern Deadman, more explanations of how body and soul can be divided and from where come the personality inside Black Lantern Deadman if his soul is in other place. Many good stuff could had been done, insthead of that we got lot of popcorn battle only. That is ok for an "army" book like Green Lantern Corps. But for a Batman book I hope for a lot more story.

I couldn't even be moved to care about the police officers. They were redshirts. I only even remember one of them having a line. They're clearly just there to show the reader that normal humans don't stand a chance and to heighten the sense of danger for Gordon and Babs. They were only set dressing for me, I'm afraid.

See, I enjoyed Titans due to the character interactions. The new Hawk trying to prove herself, the mind games that Hawk plays on the curent Hawk and Dove, Beast Boy's grief over Terra, Donna's grief over her child, the matter of how individuals deal with grief...

I have not read a Titans comic in my life, and my knowledge of them comes from the Teen Titans cartoon and wikipedia. However, this single issue of this miniseries makes me care about the characters, so the issue was a good one for me.



You know what though? I did still enjoy reading the Batman tie-in, I just didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the others. Glad to see that Tomasi is hitting the mark for some of you. I'm enjoying his work in Green Lantern Corps much more right now.

Just because his body doesn't have a soul doesn't mean it can't be reanimated. It's still got something of his brain left, afterall. And a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
He's not a brainless body like Pam Anderson or Paris Hilton.

A darn shame indeed. Manapul on these Smallville scenes has been exquisite. And what a scene stealer Krypto has been.

Thank you for summing up my mixed feelings about Blackest Night.

I dunno. I suspect the spirits of these bodies running amok are going to help put an end to them.
