Does this article cover Blackest Night the nine issue mini-series or Blackest Night, the DC event it slowly morphed into? It'd probably be good to explicitly state it here for the record as I've also seen a little tug of war in the summary with stuff from the ancilliary issues (GL, GLC, BN minis and the boatload of tie-ins) being added and removed. I vote for just the 9 issue mini-series - it's just cleaner cut as to what should be covered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.140.144 (talk) 03:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
I'd agree with that. --Cameron Scott (talk) 14:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Blackest Night: Batman
Batman and Robin assess the damage done to Wayne graves and secure what is left of the remains. Deadman tries to stop his corpse from becoming a Black Lantern. Failing, he sets out for help from Batman. As the black power rings come to Gotham City, they reanimate a cadre of villains being transported to the Justice League as well as the parents of Dick Grayson and Time Drake.
Blackest Night: Superman
The Superman of Earth-Two is reanimated an goes to Smallville where multiple residents are then shown being killed. The Kents evening meal is interrupted by Krypto, Superman, and Superboy hearing something at the Smallville cemetery. Superman and Superboy are confronted and taunted by the Superman of Earth-Two. Martha Kent is attacked by the reanimated Lois Lane of Earth-Two to be used as a hostage when the two Black Lanterns confront Superman and Superboy in the center of a deserted Smallville. On New Krypton, Supergirl arrives in tome to witness Zor-El becoming a Black Lantern.
I think we should create a Blackest Night mini-tie in plot section or a seperate article. I'll keep it updated with sources. This would include all the previously released/to-be-released storyline tie-ins (Batman, Superman, Titans, Flash, Wonder Woman, JSA).

I would say that for the moment we should just mention the various miniseries in brief. Something along the lines of, "Concurrently with the main Blackest Night series, DC published [X number] of three-issue miniseries detailing the impact of the events of Blackest Night on various characters in the DC Universe. The first three miniseries - "Blackest Night: Batman", "Blackest Night: Superman" and "Blackest Night: Titans" - depicted characters from the Batman, Superman and Titans series fighting Black Lanterns. On [Date X], [Person Y or DC Comics] announced the release of three additional three-issue miniseries on [Date Z, likely a month or set of months] featuring Flash, Wonder Woman and the JSA." Something along the lines of that would be a good informative filler until we actually figure out what in the world is going on with the plot and just how relevant they are to the main story. --Hemlock Martinis (talk) 20:13, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Just bought Blackest Night 1 and it came free with a black lantern ring. The local comic store said that all other colors will be available once they hit the states (I live in the Philippines) and I was wondering when will they be available there? And if so will each ring be bundled with each issue or will they be sold separately? I prefer the latter option. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.201.244.136 (talk) 02:41, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
since DC has announced the promotion of these rings and now appear on offical checklists ( i can't access dc .com so cannot provide the link)it seems like good information to add. and in response to the earlier comment. the rings come with selected issues in the arc, but i know of some retialers who sell spare rings at there discretion —Preceding unsigned comment added by Verstan (talk • contribs) 12:21, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
fair enough my retialers are sort of the only ones in the area so they natuallry order enough for the promotion. still would you agree the promotion requires mention even as a note in a sales section?
now the fulls et have been released should this be mentioned ( i'd add a section my self but dont know how eiditing works well enough so fear the effect i would have on the page) i emna it could be mentioned in a similar capapcity to mentioning the blakc armband which were given out during the death of superman arc ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Verstan (talk • contribs) 09:22, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
also want to appologise for awful typing , previous post was a quick addition while at work —Preceding unsigned comment added by Verstan (talk • contribs) 13:33, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Is it worth nothing that 20-30 years ago when Mr Moore wrote the stories he claims Geoff Johns based Blackest nights off of, Mr Johns was somewhere between 6 and 16 years old? Not that I'm saying Moore could be wrong, just that there is a huge gap in time there that kind of leaves Johns some leeway for writing newer stories. It might just be worth mentioning the age difference as a statement of fact to contrast Moore's statements. BurnHavoc (talk) 17:01, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Alan Moore admits in the interview to not having actually read the comics themselves. Doesn't that make his "reaction" irrelevant to the article? Or a footnote at best?
He never says that specifically, but I agree that the quote doesn't make much sense to keep. It's not even especially noteworthy to begin with, so I'm just going to remove the section. Friginator (talk) 04:03, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
I posted these on the website as, according to www.comicbookresources.com, DC will be releasing said issues instead of the regular tie-ins & the monthly book. These are all cancelled titles that will be getting one more issue that will tie into Blackest Night. Now, whether this is the complete list is unknown. Have to wait to see. Either CBR or DC will reveal the final list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvibert (talk • contribs) 13:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
I know these plots have been put in one some articles but it just does not seem appropriate with having it there and not here.
What I am thinking about the tie-in plots is having these titles on it:
Blackest Night: Tales Of the Corps #1-3
Blackest Night: Batman #1-3
Blackest Night: Superman #1-3
Blackest Night: Titans #1-3
Blackest Night: Flash #1-3
Blackest Night: JSA #1-3
Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #1-3
Most likely these titles because they have Blackest in front of them and the other titles seem to tell their own story such as Atrocitus wanting Larleeze's power battery and Kyle Rayner sacrificing himself. --Schmeater (talk) 02:58, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Some retailers have opted into DC's "Green Christmas" program that allows them to start selling BN #6 on 12/30/09 as an early release street date. Stores that have not opted for the program will put it on stands a week later. Do you think the plotline of issue #6 should be revelealed here on 12/30/09 or should it wait until it is available everywhere? (Spoiler alerts aplenty) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.20.210 (talk • contribs) 17:22, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
Oh, I didn't realize it was this week. Where I live it's usually a week late around the holidays. I'll restore the info to the Scarecrow article then. Friginator (talk) 06:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
I have new info for the limited series, so why couldn't I update the page?
Not sure what the problem is (thanks to lack of edit summaries) [1] - it is perfectly in line with WP:CRYSTALBALL: "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place" - it is sourced, it will be a long series (in the manner of the previous ones like 52 and Countdown to Final Crisis) leading out of a major storyline, written by one of the companies top writers. So it satisfies the guidelines and, while I think it might be too early to start an article on it (although some for major "events" have started much earlier) I don't think it is unreasonable to mention it here. In fact, it seems a good idea as we can direct eager editors with more information to the section, so when it comes time to start the article we will have accumulated sources to help flesh it out. So I'm only seeing good reasons to do this and little to see why not, but we are now in the D of WP:BRD so..... (Emperor (talk) 00:26, 12 January 2010 (UTC))
I agree. I was the one who put it there. I don't understand either why it was removed. I even stated where the source came from. I'm sorry that I don't know how to link to the source, but I figured they could check out the website for themselves & see the info. Not notable? Its deals with the aftermath of the biggest event to hit DC Comics in a long time. So whatever. I'll leave it & then let them decide when to put it on.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvibert (talk • contribs)
Why is issue zero mentioned but not issues 1-8? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jboncha (talk • contribs) 06:06, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Im beginning to think that the emotional spectrum should be listed as the main characters, since they're in this as major characters, and the storyline is based around them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.108.194 (talk) 19:47, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
I removed the following text during my requested copy-edit because it should be in the article Emotional spectrum and is unreferenced:
The colors are depicted in bold. For more details, see the emotional spectrum.
