You mentioned before that Blackest Night would be Ivan's baby and you'd likely only end up doing covers and maybe a bit of this or that here or there for art... is that still the case? But since I have to imagine Ivan will likely have his hands full pencilling the flagship GL title during Blackest Night... who's going to be drawing the Blackest Night 6 issue mini?Originally posted by Ethan Van Sciver View PostDon't know!

So Superman as a Blue Lantern really is on the table? That's awesome. Obviously it wouldn't be permanent or long term, but I could totally see him putting on a Blue Ring and swooping into Blackest Night at a critical moment. And if Superman is becoming a Black Lantern as well... I'm pretty sure this would be the Earth-2 Superman that JSA actually foreshadowed a bit a few issues ago, yes (his hand coming out of the ground, or whatnot)?
Big question, hopefully you can answer: Can you please tell us once and for all that Kyle Rayner isn't going to become a Blue Lantern? Geoff has pretty much flat-out said he wouldn't on the Bloc, yet fan discussion still continues in circles. Though it would make perfect sense for him to be offered a Blue Ring by Ganthet for many reasons (his relationship with Ganthet, his bringing Hope to the Corps by resurrecting the Guardians/repowering the Central Power Battery effectively rebirthing it all), Kyle actually accepting for anything other than maybe an issue or two would just strike me as another yankjob giving him different powers and even more new costumes (both if/when he becomes a Blue and then when he has to go crawling back to the GL Corps when the Blues dissipate or when a new writer takes over).
What was that about Batman as a Black Lantern...?
As for other DC heroes taking colored rings, it'll happen, but my example of Superman being blue was just off the top of my head. I was using it as an example, if Geoff asks me to design DC heroes with new versions of their classic costumes blended with our established Colored Lantern uniforms, like if Superman were a Blue Lantern for example, I would work out those costume details as part of my job as production designer for Blackest Night.
I didn't mean to assign definitive colors or rings to anyone, because Geoff hasn't officially let me know who will be what yet anyhow.

Considering the possibility of Superman becoming a Blue Lantern and Geoff currently writing Action Comics, is it possible we could see an Action Comics tie in with Superman as a Blue Lantern?

Also, excluding Geoff Johns who is your favorite DC writer to read?
It would super insulting for Wally's costume to resemble that of old..
My favorite DC writers to read, other than Geoff...? Hmmm...Gail, Grant, Mark Waid. I mostly read the comics in my comp box with the coolest artists, though.
Wally isn't Kid Flash anymore. He's Flash. I don't intend to make him wear anything similar to anything he's worn before. I'm with ya.

Unfortunally you won't be doing any full issues for Blackest Night.
But what about a few pages like in GL 25? Or a cover or two?
And I just know Flash: Rebirth is going to rock
Thanks about Flash: Rebirth. It will rock, I promise.

I´m a big fan of Soranik Natu and Princess Iolande. Will we see these two play some role in Blackest Night? Iolande for an instance has two dead brothers and one of them could hold a grudge against her.
