Blackest Night Predictions

[asdlkgh]

So what do you think will happen once BN is all said and done? Which Lantern Corps will survive? Who will die? Will they be subsequently transformed into Black Lanterns? Will Hal become a White Lantern? Will the Green Lantern Corps revolt against the Guardians?

[Karl O'Neill]

Here is mine so far.

1) It will be revealed the *Glitch* in sector 666(Atrocitus) was in fact not really a glitch in the manhunter programming but done on purpose.

2) Gathet and Hal will face down against SCAR and Black hand.

3) The Cyborg superman will build his manhunter army and make a big play for destruction.

4) Superboy prime will return.

5) The New firestorm will be smoked., We need big deaths in crossovers.

6) The JLA will finally step up to the big leagues once again. and The new batman will fight greatly and show how cool he is.

7) Hal will master more than one ring.

8) The Indigo lanterns will save the hope lanterns from the rage lanterns and Agent orange.

9) Darksied will return in some shape or form.

10) ROP LOP FAN will be reintroduced for a new audience and will save many lanterns.

[ryerye17]

are the questions we all want answered...

IMO, only the GL's would survive. Space would be too messy (not in a glamorous comic book way) if there were four or five big corps left alive after BN.

Space is a big place.

[Crowforge]

Easy one, it will not play out as predicted.
More than the Green Lantern's will survive.

[BigMike20X6]

Well I predict that Jonah Hex will become a Black Lantern and that Mr Nebula will return and establish a whole Corps of Mauve Lanterns.

[dumbstruck]

So what do you think will happen once BN is all said and done? Which Lantern Corps will survive? Who will die? Will they be subsequently transformed into Black Lanterns? Will Hal become a White Lantern? Will the Green Lantern Corps revolt against the Guardians?


I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict the Green Lantern Corps will survive.

[Crowforge]

Also, the Black Lanterns will lose members, who will be raised from the dead.

[Free-Man]

Dan Garrett or Ted Kord will go after Jaime.

The JLA Watchtower will be destroyed by the corpses in the team masuleum.

At some point, the Milestone and Red Circle heroes wil get in a big action scene, ala the Charlton heroes in COIE.

Barbara Gordon will become a Black Lantern.

[Brian888]

8) The Indigo lanterns will save the hope lanterns from the rage lanterns and Agent orange.


I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Hawkman]

Hawkman and Hawkgirl will die in the first issue to come back as Black Lanterns. That's all I've got. Oh, and the good guys will win in the end.

[CMBMOOL]

My bets is that the so call Black Lantern Batman, may be revealed not to be the "Real" batman, so that will plant the seeds as of the "Bruce Wayne Lost in time" storyline in the future.

My guess is that the Guardians may be getting the smackdown of a lifetime and show that at the end of the event they try to revert/revoke some of their former rules and give the Omega GL agents their wills back.

I'm also hoping for a Gaunlet vs Scar Smackdown.

One of my main gripes is with Sinestro, for all he done to the universe, it makes one wonder why he isn't a Red Lantern instead of a Yellow one ?

I'm hoping for a Power Girl moment in Blackest Night where she confronts her cousin back from the dead as a Black Lantern.

With so many dead Titans returning for this event, I'm hoping for another Titan overhaul and re-examination of the team.

I'm betting that Guy might just die in Blackest Night, in his efforts to save Ice, either him or Fire would die in order to save Ice from the Black Lanterns.

Even if by some chance that the Guardians surivive Blackest Night, I'm hoping for some one, hero or GL to tell them off for all of their recent mistakes.

I'm guessing that every lantern corps tries to work together to stop the Black Lanterns from Overrunning the Universe, after they see that the Black Lanterns are the most powerful threat to the entire Corp coloring system.

I'm hoping that the mini-series make sense to the event and shows other characters reaction to it as it shows love ones making a comeback as Black Lanterns.

And I'm hoping for some of the colored lantern corps to surivive this event as even I'm tired of seeing the GL overtake the entire space ways.

[bongoes]

Here is mine so far.

1) It will be revealed the *Glitch* in sector 666(Atrocitus) was in fact not really a glitch in the manhunter programming but done on purpose.

2) Gathet and Hal will face down against SCAR and Black hand.

9) Darksied will return in some shape or form.


The first two I like but I wouldn't get my hopes up for Darksied.

Even if by some chance that the Guardians surivive Blackest Night, I'm hoping for some one, hero or GL to tell them off for all of their recent mistakes.

I bet there is going to be a lot of "I told you so", especially from the Earth Lanterns.

[CMBMOOL]

One more Prediction coming from me...

I'm willing to bet that Kid Eternity will be playing a major role in Blackest Night, given his "Powers.":evilsmile:

[ankushm999]

One hero will make the ultimate sacrifice in issue 7 or 8.... i.e he/she will die.

[asdlkgh]

It's a stretch, but I'd like to see Hal as a White Lantern permanently. He'd be all enlightened and embrace all the emotions and become a Silver Surfer type character. Since the Guardians are screwing things up, he'd reject them and do his own thing. Kyle would take over in the main GL book.

[bongoes]

That seems out of character for Hal, well, not rejecting the Guardians but the whole enlightened and embracing all emotions, I can't see that lasting more than a few issues.

[Green Griffin]

1.) Sinestro will be a Green Lantern Again after all of this. THe

2.) Sinestro, Orange, and Red Corps will all go away or die.

3.) Hal will become the White Lantern after he gives up his life to save many.

4.) Big Heros will die in Issue One. (More so by the end of the issue.)

5.) Optimus Prime will combine with Jetfire to take out the Fallen Heroes.

[Karl O'Neill]

Yeah. Don't think we will see optimus prime in this event.

[JurassicParkIsAnAwesomeMovie]

Sinestro will sacrifice himself and become the greatest Green Lantern once again

The Guardians will die

Aquaman Rebirth written by Geoff Johns and Penciled by Ethan Van Scriver

Soranik Natu becomes Parallax and dies

Larfleeze gets a monthly ongoing

They find out that Bruce Wayne is in the past

[JurassicParkIsAnAwesomeMovie]

Yeah. Don't think we will see optimus prime in this event.

But isn't he cousins with Superboy Prime?:frown: :biggrin:

[DeTroyes]

5.) Optimus Prime will combine with Jetfire to take out the Fallen Heroes.

Well, so long as we're making THOSE kind of predictions...

Black Hand's master is... The Master.

[Karl O'Neill]

No, Rodimus!:biggrin:

[Green Griffin]

Yeah. Don't think we will see optimus prime in this event.

But you didn't say we wouldn't see Jetfire.

[Karl O'Neill]

JETFIRE is so there.

[Name Already Taken]

- All corps except survive (except Black), except in a diminished capacity. Think about it, they're are too many stories to tell with all the different aspects to just build them up suddenly and then banish them right away.
- BN used as a way to bring some people back to life (go into the light Carol Anne) but not all. Despite what Johns and Daredevil Dan have said in interviews when asked about the possibility.
- A ton of C and D listers eat it and come back as Black Lanterns right after death, making it hard for other corps to fight them. Sinestro eats it too in some sacrifice.
- One of the four Earth lanterns dies (I'm thinking John), becomes a black lantern but reversed by the conclusion. Kyle leaves the Green and becomes a Blue, unhappy with the way the Guardians and Alpha's are conducting themselves due to Scar's subtle influence. Guy gets put out early on with near fatal injuries, but comes back strong for the 'last' battle.
- Hal gets the $#!? beat out of him and lays at Deaths door with a black ring offering itself to him, while the bodies from all other corps surrounding him. When I say beaten, I mean literally to Death's door, maybe missing limbs, while having a flashback of his Dad or something, then a whole issue devoted to his emotional traumas with examples. Then one by one a ring from each corps finds its way to him in the 11th hour with a flash bang white lantern thing recharging him. Some weird rainbow thing happens and the Black Corps disappears for good.
- The Guardians disappear (exile themselves again) to another dimension, deeming themselves fallible for repressing emotion instead of mastering it. Sodam yat becomes athe last Guardian with his Ion power.
- Ganthet and Sayd remain, since they embraced it.

/I'm kinda worried about Hal though. The man seems to have a serious ring fetish and obsessive or possessive compulsion for all things ringly. It seems unhealthy and he should really see a doctor, unless he wants to turn into a creature like Golem.

Please Hal, people care about you and want you to get better. We're rootin' for ya pal.

[Green Griffin]

6.) Soranik Natu Dies and this is what will make Sinestro Redeem himself.

7.) Hal becomes the Avatar of all the Emotional Spectrum by being the White Lantern but is then beaten by Rainbow Brite for this title.

[Scott Taylor]

I predict that, in the end, Rage Cat will be the only non-green lantern left standing on a big pile of bones. Hal and RC duke it out for the universe.

[CMBMOOL]

Does anyone have a weird feeling that Carol Feris going to bite it in Blackest Night ?:frown:

[Mongul]

Some one we currently think is alive we will find out they are really dead when their corpse rises. Leading to speculation of who has been taking their place.

Other than that all the good predictions are taken.

[Tequilamokinbrd]

Here's a prediction that I haven't seen anywhere yet.......


The Black Hand will at some point take advantage of the fact that he knows a ton of secret ID's due to "death" speaking to him. That would go a long way toward either .A) figuring out the rest for some type of attack/distraction .B) Not taking the time to figure out the rest, but using the ones he knows in some type of attack/distraction.


There aren't that many people who know who Clark Kent, Barry Allen, Bruce Wayne, etc. are that haven't at least tried to exploit that information.

[Tequilamokinbrd]

My bets is that the so call Black Lantern Batman, may be revealed not to be the "Real" batman, so that will plant the seeds as of the "Bruce Wayne Lost in time" storyline in the future.



Possibly Jean Paul Valley?

He's dead

He was Batman

He'd still get the type of "Oh my lord...you????" reaction from the likes of Dick & Tim that would give readers reason to believe that it's Bruce....until of course his cowl comes off & we see the blonde hair on top of his zombie head give him away.

Dan Didio (http://newsarama.com/comics/050915-DiDio.html) did hint that it wasn't Bruce's body in newsarama a few months back, then backpedaled like a drunk who said the wrong thing, and then something about pants. (Question 6,7)

I'm still curious what hint he was dropping at, and why in the opening for BN Black Hand seems so affixed to the body of Bruce Wayne. Could he know the 'truth' or whatever that may be? Maybe his obsession is along the lines of knowing how Bruce escaped death, albeit through a very comicbook plot device.

[BigMike20X6]

Does anyone have a weird feeling that Carol Feris going to bite it in Blackest Night ?:frown:

I think she'll be in Mr Nebula's Mauve Lantern Corps. Along with Danny the Street, Scarlet Skiier and Larry the Titan. And the original ML of course.

[Samuraixsithlord]

I think when all the former heroes get ressurected as Black Lanterns, Bruce's corpse will be untouched.

[JurassicParkIsAnAwesomeMovie]

Some one we currently think is alive we will find out they are really dead when their corpse rises. Leading to speculation of who has been taking their place.

Other than that all the good predictions are taken.

You mean like Secret Invason!?:frown:

[bongoes]

Larfleeze gets a monthly ongoing

This is something I can agree we need.

[El Castigador]

8) The Indigo lanterns will save the hope lanterns from the rage lanterns and Agent orange.

.

i imagine the indigos work by forcing the diferrent parties feel what their opponents do

i just cant imagine atroticius in love even if its for a second the guy rips people open for fun

[KiFF86]

i imagine the indigos work by forcing the diferrent parties feel what their opponents do

i just cant imagine atroticius in love even if its for a second the guy rips people open for fun

Or Larfleeze having willpower.....Just sitting down the Orange Lantern and backing away slowly

[Crowforge]

Here's another easy prediction, none of the corpse are going down in a way in which they can never come back.

[El Castigador]

probably the factions will survive somewhat dimished i imagine mongul continues with the yellow , atroticius i imagine ends up alone escaping to rebuild, hope stays very small in numbers,compasion will probably be seen in the background of space story, orange i imagine is either divided between a group( maybe some surviving controllers) or once again hidden somewhere( i imagine larfleeze dying because of the greed)and black is the only one actually defeated and green stays the course but with more liberties for members

[Hullababy]

Larfleeze ! Larfleeze ! Larfleeze !

[xorn87]

I predict it will be Kyle who becomes the White Lantern not Hal. Kyle has been low profile for quite a bit, it's time for him to show what he can do. Mark my words, Kyle will make a BIG impact on Blackest Night.

[Green Griffin]

Man that would suck if that happen.

[xorn87]

Poppa Mongul and Mongal will be back.

[Crowforge]

Poppa Mongul and Mongal will be back.
Hopefully with a costume change.

[Bevbos]

This is not likely, given the popularity of GL and GLC at this point, but given the prophecy and what we've seen in Legion of 3 Worlds, what I'd like to see is:

A world where all the corps are destroyed, even if individual power rings are not. Mogo is offed (as per the prophecy). Sodam Yat becomes the last guardian - after being severely crippled by the Children of the White Lobe, so much so that he appears to be dead (but we the reader will know differently) but the other GLs "go rogue" and fight evil on their own terms, without the formal GLC structure but still with Power Rings. A few remnants of the other corps exist, but are disjointed, down on the Adam Strange/Omega Men level, power-wise. Hal and the other Earth lanterns return to Earth, their diminished power levels setting up Hector Hammond, the Shark, Evil Star, etc., as more credible villains.

And yeah, Sinestro (only briefly) "redeemed" would be great, as would Cyborg-Superman finally dying, and let's hope we can be done with Mongul for the time being as well.

Oh! And Hal marries Carol Ferris after she saved from the power of the Star Sapphires.

[Maestro]

I predict good will defeat evil

This would pretty much be the same as the Book has been pre-Green Lantern: Rebirth, just with more rings around. I don't see why they would want to return to that, just after having the corps and all re-established.

[Bevbos]

Well, it's a way of bringing it full-circle. I mean, I sort of doubt my "prediction" is actually going to go down that way because I think they'll probably want to milk the assorted corps. But, since this is the completion of a trilogy, I think it would actually be the most appropriate, and weirdly satisfying ending. At the very least, we do know at SOME point Mogo takes a hit... though it would be hundreds of years in the future, I suppose.

[Crowforge]

I predict good will defeat evil
Oh yeah? Who's good?

[Laminator_X]

Oh yeah? Who's good?

Well, Sinestro clearly wants to bring order to the Universe by any means necessary... ;)

Prophercy or not, it was the Batman who states that the Future is always changing, so who knows if that's what the GLC future is after Blackest Night ? :frown:

[Bevbos]

Well, he is the G-dd-mn Batman, so I suppose he would know.

[ankushm999]

If they make hal the white lantern then I will puke... come on as if him getting a sampler of all the rings isn't enough... johns don't disappoint me please.

[BigMike20X6]

Rainbow Raider returns, infused with the powers of the complete spectrum of Lanterns.

[Artificial idiot]

Rainbow Raider returns, infused with the powers of the complete spectrum of Lanterns.

Or Hal puts on every single ring and instead of becoming a White Lantern, he becomes the new Rainbow Raider! :biggrin:

[BigMike20X6]

Or Hal puts on every single ring and instead of becoming a White Lantern, he becomes the new Rainbow Raider! :biggrin:

Then Color Kid gets killed and resurrected as a Black Lantern and changes his name to Emo Kid. He can only turn things black now >_>

[bongoes]

What about Resurrection Man? I wonder if the Black will come after him, considering he's been resurrected so many times.

[prof dresser]

I predict good will defeat evil

Yes, but Sinestro will get all the credit for it, and in return will be put in charge of all the lanterns. Then he'll form an evil cabal and disguise Sinestro Corps members as Green Lanterns and the title will be called "Dark Lantern Corps".

Wait, which universe are we in? :wink:

[SevereTireDamage]

Larfleeze kicks the crap out of the Red Lanterns and takes control over them
Ganthet and Hal beat the shit out of Scar and Nekron
Carol....dead
Current Firestorm....dead
Sinestro becomes a Blue Lantern, but....dead by the end
Killwog....dead
Hal becomes a White Lantern and goes off and does his thing while John Stewart takes over.
Superboy or man or whatever Prime, somehow comes back, somehow turns face, and takes out the Black Lantern power battery and ..... dies.

Oh and Dex Star does something cool, but I can't think of it yet. Maybe just appear in a panel again would work. Possible use the Orange Lantern as a litter box.

[asdlkgh]

I like the idea of Sinestro becoming a Blue Lantern. Misguided as he is, he really does hope to make the universe a better place.

[daredevil1990]

Reading the psts i nthis thread, is it just me or is anyone else getting stupidly excited for Blackest Night? I hate how living in the UK means I've gotta wait til Thursday to read the first issue.

I'm really likign the idea of Sinestro getting reinstated as a GL, there was the Origins and Omens page whcih had Sinestro and Hal back to back, fighting off a group of shadowy figures. So even if he doesn't get a GL ring, I'd love to see the two of them teaming up. Oh and the panel of Atrocitus' premonition shwoign Sinestro saying to Hal, 'I need your help' or soemthing to that effect.

I think the way the Guardians have been going, their days are numbered. Though who bumps them off is anyones guess. Screwing over the Blue Lanterns like they did at the end of Agent Orange; it's alwyas the most timid guys that are the biggest badasses, haha.

Feel so abd for whoever's gonna follow Johns after Blackest Night, I really do. Can't wait to see where it goes though.

[DeTroyes]

Hal becomes a White Lantern and goes off and does his thing while John Stewart takes over.

I'm not a big follower of the Green Lantern mythos, so pardon me if this is wrong on so many levels, but...

I've been intrigued by this rumor of a "Alan Scott Memorial Issue" tie-in after Blackest Night is over. If there is going to be a White Lantern, might it somehow be Alan rather than Hal?

So how about this: Hal gathers up the rings, but it is discovered that wielding them together makes the person so powerful that they literally burn up after a short time. For whatever reason, Alan Scott rather than Hal winds up making the leap to White Lantern, knowing full well it was a death sentence, but also knowing it was the only way to defeat the Big Bad. Thus, Alan goes out a hero, having sacrificed himself to defeat the Big Bad, and at the same time finally becoming a true Lantern - perhaps the most powerful one that ever existed. A fitting end for the original Green Lantern.

OK, I'm bracing myself to take the cackles of laughter from the Green Lantern officionadoes on this board...

[bongoes]

Killwog....dead
Don't even joke...
I've been intrigued by this rumor of a "Alan Scott Memorial Issue" tie-in after Blackest Night is over.
It was an April Fool's day prank. But I do like the idea of Alan becoming the
White Lantern.

[Artificial idiot]

As long as they don't kill him... He's too important to the JSA to be killed off anywhere else in my opinion. He's completely made up of Starheart energy now in any case, isn't he? So he could theoretically become a White Lantern without burning out even if that was the price for doing so... In fact, that could make him the only one capable of the job as he doesn't have a flesh and blood form.

Interesting stuff indeed. :cool:

[DeTroyes]

It was an April Fool's day prank.

I thought so too, but since then I've seen it repeated so many times that it does give me pause, as if there might be some kernal of truth to the rumor.

[SevereTireDamage]

Killwog will die by the end. He is going to join his family. It has been forshadowed several times. I would note the forshadowed issues, but I am at work, else I could note them.

[bongoes]

Killwog will die by the end. He is going to join his family. It has been forshadowed several times. I would note the forshadowed issues, but I am at work, else I could note them.

Yeah, I just really don't want him to die.

[Hullababy]

Yeah, I just really don't want him to die.

Me neither. I also have a bad feelng that Sinestro's not going to make it. I mean they have been building up for Sinestro's redemption for quite some time now. But if Sinestro is redeemed and does surivive Blackest Night then what happens to him after that ? I don't see him hanging out with Hal playing buddies.

[SevereTireDamage]

Yeah, I just really don't want him to die.

Dude I don't want him to die neither. I think there was a panel or two a couple of issues back in GLC were is showed him meeting his family.

[bongoes]

Now I'm thinking about the Rainbow Raiders, especially since Johns created the team to replace the original.

[JurassicParkIsAnAwesomeMovie]

the entities will combine together and become the white entity, then Hal becomes the White Lantern and kicks Black Hand/Death Entity's ass

[InSovietRussia]

Yes, but Sinestro will get all the credit for it, and in return will be put in charge of all the lanterns. Then he'll form an evil cabal and disguise Sinestro Corps members as Green Lanterns and the title will be called "Dark Lantern Corps".

Wait, which universe are we in? :wink:

Well, if that's what we're doing now, here's my idea: the Black Lanterns win, and kill everyone in the universe... the entire universe is now full of zombies. Since zombies can't eat each other (they really don't taste very good, and are very low on vitamins), some of the brighter zombies whip up a machine that opens a very large portal into another universe... the Ultimate Marvel universe, in the wake of that giant tidal wave that hit New York. The DC Zombies run rampant for a year, but are eventually turned back to normal by Reed Richards and a time traveling hero freshly arrived from Earth's prehistoric era: Batman! (the real one, that is... it turns out he's able to make a time machine from vines and large stone slabs)

[DeTroyes]

the entities will combine together and become the white entity, then Hal becomes the White Lantern and kicks Black Hand/Death Entity's ass

Why am I imagining a big Voltron-like giant robot for this scenario?

[dirpader]

1 We will see Sinestro redeem himself somehow.

2 Superman will be a temporay memeber of one of the corps. (Blue)?

3 The Gaurdians will go into exile. (the surviving Gaurdians that is)

4 No white lanterns, for now anyway.

5 One earth green lantern dies.

6 This will go down in history as one of the single greatest runs by a writer in comic book history.

[BigMike20X6]

Why am I imagining a big Voltron-like giant robot for this scenario?

Because that would be spectacularly awesome. Like, Mauve Lantern levels of awesomenimity.

[ShaggyB]

5.) Optimus Prime will combine with Jetfire to take out the Fallen Heroes.

no way... HotRod will get the matrix of leadership and become Rodimous Prime, he will defeat Galvatron and Unicron..... and tell Ultra Magnus that.... YOU'VE GOT THE TOUCH!!!!! YOU'VE GOT THE POWER!!!!

[DeTroyes]

Because that would be spectacularly awesome. Like, Mauve Lantern levels of awesomenimity.

Actually, now that I think about it...

We now actually have enough Lantern colors for a Sentai team.

Someone HAS to do that as a piece of fanart. You know, complete with the silly dramatic poses. :wink:

(Oh, and personally, I'll take a Gundam or a Valkyrie over a Voltron any day of the week...)

And it lends itself to the idea so well, nine costumes with Lantern themed helmets and each Corps' logo on the chest. I wish I had artistic ability... sadly the good lord only blessed me with dashing good looks, a killer bod and a sense of humor. Not to mention humility.

[handOFfate]

1. The Guardarians survive but purposely exile themselves after realizing they've made some crap decisions over the years. A group of GL's that will include John Stewart will take over as leadership.

2. Sinestro redeems himself with some giant sacrifice and dies as Hal and/or Natu forgive him.

3. Larfleeze and Atrocious both make it. Hal needs new villains and these are two of the best new villains to come along in a while.

4. Scar and Black Hand are goners, though. Taken down by Ganthet and Hal.

5. All four Earth GL's survive. Johns has done a good job of keeping them all relevant post-Rebirth and I don't see that changing now.

6. The Alpha-Lanturns are returned to normal GL's, although only Green Man and Boodika survive.

7. The future we see in Legion of 3 Worlds is avoided for now. For one thing, offing Mogo and the filler Green Lanturns would be the end of GL: Corps. Plus I think Johns has more corps stories to tell.

8. I'm on the fence regarding Kilowog's future. I think Salaak, Arkillo, and Soranik Natu all kick the bucket. Natu's death triggers Sinestro's sacrifice. Arkillo is cool but he is basically a weaker Atrocious.

9. Some black lanturns return permanently to life while others return to the dead. BL's that will return to life:
-Martian Manhunter
-Aquaman
-Trickster I
-Terra
-Ralph Dibney (but NOT Sue)
-Jade
-Firestorm
-Brain and Mallah
-Mongul I

10. Several unexpected characters step up and play big roles. Donna Troy seems the most likely for this.

11. Bruce Wayne's inability to rise from the dead give the Bat-clan a clue that he's not truly dead. This leads to a storyline later on.

12. The blue lanturns, save maybe one or two members, are wiped out. So are the Sinestro corps, whose role in the universe are basically replaced by the red corps.

[Superbeast]

I thought so too, but since then I've seen it repeated so many times that it does give me pause, as if there might be some kernal of truth to the rumor.

It was a completely bogus photoshopped fake checklist. Just because a rumour is repeated doesn't make it any more likely to happen especially if the original source of speculation was a complete fake.

[Crowforge]

The Spectre will make an appearance.

[Karl O'Neill]

The Spectre will make an appearance.

I put a tenner on this too.:biggrin:

[EZMOHR]

I agree with most of you on this one....Sinestro is gonna be the hero of this one. Everyone seems to think Hal or Kyle is gonna be a "white lantern", but in the end, Sinestro is the one that encompasses all of the lanterns in someway.

[Grievous]

Red Lantern Superboy Prime.

Larfleeze, master of greed, ends up with one of each ring at somepoint. Survives in the end with just the orange, leaving him craving power more than ever due to having a taste of it and loosing it.

Hal may be a white/rainbow lantern, but goes back to green in the end (come on, movie coming up people!)

Kyle or Alan end up dying (not that I want it to happen).

Guardians all killed, Honor Corps ends up being the leading "Jedi Council" of the GLs.

[jbwbubba]

Kyle takes Hal's place as a sacrifice (perhaps as a white lantern) and helps stops the big bad but dies in the effort. All the corps including Green are decimated leaving but a few survivors.

[HVulpes]

So far my main thoughts are question.

What does everyone think the after all of the time setting up the ROY BIV corps, they would wipe them to near extinction? Can they not exist in the future of GL, as both aids and hindrances to the GLC?

Also why does everyone think that Soranik Natu will die? They are just hinting a relationship between her and Kyle. Why does everyone in Kyle's life end up dead? Alex, Jade, his mother... and most people seem to want Natu to go the same way? Isn't it going to screw Kyle up if everyone he loves end up dead at one point or another? Does no one care for Kyle?

[Captain Smith]

The Spectre will appear and blast some superbad guy but not enough to totally save the day. Just weaken whatever the superbad guy turns out to be.

Like he weakened the Antimonitor and Parallax. Then he faints.

Rainbow Bright appears and save the day?

Superman appears and sings lead for the Grateful Dead plus Keith Richards (already a zombie) and his super song resets the dead back into their graves.

Batman comes back to life (surprise).

The Guardians disappear for a bit till someone finds an Ion egg on OA and hatches it and they get recharged.

Some Black Lanterns get away as you always need some return of the villian.

[Bakura]

no way... HotRod will get the matrix of leadership and become Rodimous Prime, he will defeat Galvatron and Unicron..... and tell Ultra Magnus that.... YOU'VE GOT THE TOUCH!!!!! YOU'VE GOT THE POWER!!!!

"Rodimus Prime"
I just died/threw up a little inside.

[SmashDown]

- Sinestro finds some redemption, either in death as a White Lantern, or in renouncing the Sinestro Corp, but he won't be a GL either.

- Black Lanterns are decimated, weakened, and what's left is contained... for now.

- All the other corps stick around in some form.

- Guardians go into seclusion to find themselves.

- I don't think anyone from the Black Lantern is going to come back to life in a GL book. This might set it up, but I don't see it happening in the story arc itself.

- Everyone has to make their peace with Guy Gardner being not only on a decision-making council, but after all his resistance to the Guardians leading up to this, a voice of reason. It will be weird.

[SeritoNiN]

John Stewart will die.

It was predicted he would see his love again, naturally this is because he'll be biting the big bazooka.

[Bakura]

Well techincally, he will regardless, she's a Black Lantern now.:biggrin:

[gryhpon]

hal jordan will overthrow the guardians

[Bakura]

hal jordan will overthrow the guardians

Well they are supposed to kill his love, I guess that means either Cowgirl or Carol will be biting the big one. I hope it's Cowgirl.

[randomengine]

Every character who cheated death from Green Lantern #43 will end up dead by the end of the series.

[aut0matic]

Also why does everyone think that Soranik Natu will die? They are just hinting a relationship between her and Kyle. Why does everyone in Kyle's life end up dead? Alex, Jade, his mother... and most people seem to want Natu to go the same way? Isn't it going to screw Kyle up if everyone he loves end up dead at one point or another? Does no one care for Kyle?

not really. maybe they can kill him, too :smile:

doubt it.

[CBikle]

I think Nekron (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekron) (an old demonic GL villain) is the big mastermind and the source of the black rings' power.

[gryhpon]

johns hinted towards that on his blog

[Crowforge]

Batman isn't going to take too nicely being used as a focus or whatever.

[CYOTI]

My prediction: the sevens corps let their powers combine to become the white light that will drive away the Black and light the darkest hour

[Green Griffin]

My prediction: the sevens corps let their powers combine to become the white light that will drive away the Black and light the darkest hour

This will somewhat happen, Hal will lead the other leaders of the corps in the Thiller dance. The Black Lanterns will have no power over them selfs as they dance while the rest of the corps members pick off the black lanterns rings, killing them.

[Crowforge]

I think powers will combine, but I don't think you'll be getting a white lantern.

[Crowforge]

Some hopes
I hope this fixes the Hawkman/girl relationship and that they get resurrected with similarly complete memories.
and speaking of couples getting John Stewart back with his wife would be really nice.

[Captain Smith]

How about the greatest number of dead that affected the core DCU become BLs?

By that I mean - all of Krypton's dead and then they head for new Krypton - after all - I've argued that we have to get rid of New Krypton someway to restore Supes to some uniqueness besides his farm boy personality.

[4PointOh]

Prediction: The most chilling, epic and brutal battle will be Wonder Woman vs Maxwell Lord.

[IvCNuB4]

Along with Cassie being the one getting her head twisted around this time ! I'd pay $4.99 to read that :biggrin:

[Bakura]

I don't think Sinestro will be redeemed but I do think there will be a greater understanding between him and Hall before this is over.

[ankushm999]

Kyle will become a blue lantern.
Alan Scott will die. Perfect time for the old fart to die at the end of the series.

[Slaughter]

Also why does everyone think that Soranik Natu will die? They are just hinting a relationship between her and Kyle.

She's a gonner, then. Kyle Rayner is cursed. All the women in his life die horribly. I think God hates his guts.

[Crowforge]

Wait, I'm god?

[Name Already Taken]

I predict Hal grows a mullet and becomes Captain Planet.

[JamesJesse]

oh wow. I want to see that!

[Matt]

Max would have to walk backwards to see where he was going.

[Seraku]

I met Geoff Johns today at a signing, asked abunch of questions but the only thing he'd confirm was a Krypto/Dex-Star fight.

I'm genuinely stoked for that.

Who's Dex-Star?

[Seraku]

Red Lantern Cat

[Mikey Brown]

After all the corps fail to stop the Black lanterns, a new corp will come out and stop them: the Brown lantern corps will stop them with powers of the mysterios brown note and explosive diarhea powers!

[Blackhawkk]

I'm surprised nobody has predicted this so I predict that:

NOBODY DIES! Matter of fact, everybody who's been dead will be brought back to life! Ralph & Sue Dibny! Hawkman & Hawkgirl! Ronnie Raymond! Martian Manhunter! Aquaman! Earth-2 Superman!

There will be more heroes at the end of this series than there was at the beginning!

[Captain Smith]

A new Corps will arise - the Green Chain Saws - formed by the little know Gardeners of the Universe - they kept the lawns up on OA.

What else will deal with zombies? Their Power Saws make quick work of the BLs.

[Crowforge]

The Hawks get a costume change when they come back. Hawkman's doesn't stick.

[GoodClone]

All the corps are decimated, leaving only one individual to take their place: Color Kid - The Ultimate Rainbow Lantern.

He looks very HAPPY!!!! Rainbow Corps!

[Bakura]

The Anti Monitor will be reborn, I think all the dead energy will serve to restore him in the end. he may even turn on Nekron.

[EZMOHR]

I don't think Sinestro will be redeemed but I do think there will be a greater understanding between him and Hall before this is over.

There can be NO UNDERSTANDING between Hal and Sinestro unless there is some sort of redemption of Sinestro. Simple as that. Supes doesn't get Lex. Batman doesn't get the Joker. Flash doesn't get Prof. Zoom. Hal is the closest to getting his main baddie...but unless Sinestro is redeemed...they will not have an understanding. That's about as cut and dry as I can get.

I think Hal could understand Sinestro without his being redeemed. Hey may get why Sinestro thinks the way he does and why he's done what he's done but in the end still disagree with it.

[Spiffy]

Predictions:

1.) Blackest Night will end open ended and feed into yet another "event".

2.) At some point, some Zombie will kill someone REALLY important to the Zombie's ex-self, and we will "be shocked" (only not). Hint: It won't be lame and only vaguely connected, like "Dibnys kill Hawks", but something on the order of a parent killing a child, an ex-lover killing a current hero, a sidekick killing a hero, a deceased hero killing his successor of the same name--something like one of those.

3.) Somebody will get un-Black Lanterned and live. Someone else will get un-Black Lanterned and die. The living one probably will have killed someone and will REALLY regret it and have years of angst (or at least until the next writer for that character gets bored of the plot point).

4.) The Color Corps will all fight together against the Black Lanterns in a big climactic battle, even the Red and Orange Lanterns, but at the VERY end after ZombieFest 09' is over, someone REALLY important will be murderered by one of the "bad" Lanterns. My bet: Carol Ferris goes bye bye right at the end, right after she and Hal have finally decided to shack up together.

5.) Hal will be sad.

6.) Kyle will be sad.

7.) John will be angry.

8.) Guy will be angry-sad.

9.) "Scar" will somehow escape at the end and be a threat at some future time.

10.) Black Hand will NOT escape--he will be the big villain "death" which ends the conflict.

[Thok]

Prediction: Every prediction made in this thread before I made this post is wrong. This is doubly true for predictions involving White Lanterns or everybody coming back to life.

Hal won't be sad? :eek:

[Benjamin Ong]

Somehow I think the big bad is The Spectre. He/It doesn't have a host now, right?

[Thok]

Somehow I think the big bad is The Spectre. He/It doesn't have a host now, right?

Crispus Allen (a cop who used to work with Renee Montoya in Gotham before being killed) has been the current host of the Spectre since a bit after Infinite Crisis.
