DC Direct’s Black Lantern Batman Looks Tempting

I may not have given the Black Lantern Superman a glowing review (review here), but that doesn’t stop me from drooling on the photos for this upcoming Black Lantern Batman action figure. Awesome-looking toy, and one I may just have to grab. At least I’ll walk into this knowing that he’s more of a poseable statue than he is an action figure.

I hope DC’s collection for Blackest Night covers the essentials and makes sense. I’m looking forward to reading the trade, but I’m worried that it’s gonna be one of those cases where there are holes in the story that the editors assume readers “just get.”

An animated feature would be a better choice, since DC and Marvel both tend to treat those more as stand-alone events.
