Man... this is all levels of low.

I mean, I knew Blackest night was going to be massively screwing with the heroes what with bringing back fomer teammates, lovers and mentors...

But bringing back Donna's infant child? That is plained F***** up!

Relatively, Gar's zombie makeout session doesn't seem nearly as bad now.

I'm not exactly one hundred percent on the history of Donna.

What happened to her poor kid? Still born? Evil villain? Do I really want to know?

Answer: Evil Villain.

That'd be Lord Chaos, if I'm not mistaken. Long story short, he was born with full powers of a god and was aware, which of course drives him loco. He instantly ages himself, kills his mommy, and becomes an evil dictator. Course, that's all in the future.

This is confusing, cause last I heard he didn't die, her ex-husband gained custody of the kid.

He's dead. Terry, Donna's ex, had in fact gained custody of the kid. He and his son were then in a fatal car accident. Neither survived.

Why did they do that? Beats me. I guess the writer and editors didn't want to deal with the mess the plotline was becoming any longer. Whatever the case, Terry's rarely mentioned since though the whole Lord Chaos ordeal crops up from time to time.

Well, to be honest they didn't have much in the way of choice if they wanted to involve the entire team. Her ex Terry and the kid they had together were the msot significant plots Donna has had since, well, ever. It was either dredge up the issue of the kid again or find some way to get Donna out of the proceedings; the second one is obviously not a simple nor attractive option.

Also, yeah, it's ****ed up, but that's probably the point.

D'oh, got me on the knowledge bit again. XP

We're talking about zombies here. There's practically nothing about them that isn't f****** up. Even so, I'm not liken the choices of resurrections here. Pantha was a favorite of mine, and her coming back as a BL is about as nocuous as seeing the way she died.

I know way too much about comics dude. That's an unescapable fact.

I like it because of the fact that it means Red Star's going to play a part in things. He shows up maybe once every three years, unfortunately, and it never seems to be for much more than a cameo. Having his own problem to deal with and get panel time through would be nice for a change.

Besides, this way we might see some actual reaction and fallout over the whole thing. I don't recall anything regarding Pantha and Baby Wildebeest being handled much at all. Aside from a panel somewhere of him crying over them.

I was thinking more along the lines of the zombie baby from the Dawn of the Dead remake.

That's certainly a valid point, but I think if they wanted to involve Donna, they could have gone down a road that non many of the other Titans could go down.

Instead of bring back Donna's loved ones, like everyone else is experiencing, they could have dranw focus on the fact that Donna was once dead herself. Give her a whole "what if it was me?" factor or maybe press that the Black Lanterns hold a little more sway over her since she's passed before.

But that's just me.

Also, BL Hawk without BL Dove? Did the BL's not want him or were his non-violence convictions too strong to even be corrupted after zombifacation?

That idea is probably murky territory. Remember, these guys are playing off bones thrown to them by Geoff Johns. Something like sway over people who have been dead before is something that may not have been considered. If someone did that in an anchillary book and it wasn't a factor in the main story, it could cause problems. People would start wondering why it would happen there and not to so-and-so in another book.

You seen the Black Lanterns? They mean business man. No way would they want a total pansy like the original Dove among their ranks. XP

I guess you're right. Even though the list of ressurected Titans in low, the amount of A-list DC hero's that have died and come back is pretty vast. If the Black Lantern Corp head power over the ressurected as well as the dead I guess that would give them a much bigger advantage...

I just don't look forward to every single character going through the exact same angst...

I mean so far, the only character whom they could bring back members from their past and not handle it like everyone else seems to be headed is probably Lobo. But I got to admit, I wouldn't mind seeing him face up against some zombie space dolphins.
