Blackest Night/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

 

* Atrocitus kneeling in the dirt on a wasteland without life that was once his home planet.

* Bizarro deciding to protect Francine Langstrom from Black Lantern Solomon Grundy because she reminded him of Lois. Also:

* When a Guardian is asked why he vowed to protect the Universe, his response: "I...I don't remember."

* When Kyle Rayner tries to calm down Red Lantern Guy Gardner, Guy mistakenly declares him to be a Black Lantern, then tries to ''squash his head between a hammer and anvil''.

* Kilowog, Green Lantern drill sergeant, is surrounded by the corpses of Lantern rookies he feels he failed to save. And then they start rising as Black Lanterns, taking off to attack the Central Power Battery.

* Assuming that it is still canon even though it wasn't drawn, the death of the Rainbow Raiders. Seven random losers who stole the equipment of deceased Flash rogue, Rainbow Raider, the team saw Blackest Night as a sign of the apocalypse and drink poisoned Kool-Aid, Jonestown-style. Being D-list villains, the Black Rings don't even bother to resurrect them since none of the Flashes even knew who they ''were'' and as such, have no attachment to them. Your opinion may vary as to whether this is also an example of [[Black Comedy]].

* Okay, this isn't quite part of ''Blackest Night'' as it was of ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', but Booster Gold getting back in time to see himself attend Blue Beetle (Ted Kord)'s funeral and be unable to give an elegy to his buddy is pretty gutting.

* From ''Tales of the Corps'', Saint Walker's backstory. It ends in a Moment of Heartwarming, but the death of his son is especially poignant. The narration merely reads "There is nothing more to say about that day."

* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|The basic description of his character that]] Superboy-Prime received {{spoiler|when the Black Lantern Ring on his finger was sifting through his emotions}} was pretty brutal.

{{spoiler|'''Ring'''}}: YOURSELF. FOR WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME. '''RAGE.'''
