So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It makes me think about the silver age stalwarts like Barry Allen or Hal Jordan and why it was easier to move them off-stage.

Moving Hal Jordan off-stage as easy is a notion that makes me giggle.

Have you *SEEN* the Green Lantern Wars?

Also, Hal hasn't been gone. He's just been... different. But he's still part of the 'verse.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well, I just meant in comparison to getting rid of Bruce Wayne as Batman or Clark Kent as Superman. Green Lantern as a myth can survive the loss of his original character in a way that Superman or Batman couldn't. Though obviously they thought enough of Hal's history to make it a Big Deal. Same with Barry Allen - his death was a Big Deal, but the idea of The Flash is still resonant without him. Or actually more resonant after his death. Which is probably also true for Hal's Spectre-ization. It deepened the mythos.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

re: all the whitefonted spoiler text -- that fucking bites. Since it's all about me, I was digging a female Robin with my name. But also, if they kill her, it's just Jason Todd redux. Lame.

Bruce wasn't Batman after Bane snapped him like a wee little twigman. And it's precisely because of the myth that Jean-Paul took over -- Bruce asked him to, because there needed to be a Batman. Like the BuffyBot at the beginning of S6.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

As to the whitefont, Fables is, indeed, good stuff. It may just be a mismatch of creator and material.

Also, my day today has gone from the sublime to the opposite way too fast. And amych's .rar still no workey.

Hal's not the Original GL.

Just the best-known and brightest.

Alan Scott would SO kick your ass for forgetting him.

Bruce also wasn't Batman after defeating Bane. He went off to get his head on straight, and Dick took over.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

He went off to get his head on straight

Uhm... er... uh...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

still no workey.

I do not understand this. I checked all the files, zipped 'em up afresh, unzipped 'em to make sure the archive worked as advertised, uploaded, downloaded, unzipped again... cannot replicate the no workey. Should I do the individual files and not the archive? t /couldabeenbackchannel

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

About the GL myth...

Everyone knows Hal is coming back later this year, right?
