Didn't Doctor Light make all those solid light JLA duplicates that the Injustice Gang was using against their heroic inspirations? Theoretically he could make one of the Atom as well ...

DX, I had the same though as you re: Amazo. It would explain a lot-- he'd have to be duplicating villains' MOs and powers as well as heroes, though, and I don't know if that's possible. And that still means there's someone else pulling the strings.

Yeah Matt, but he didn't duplicate their powers...

Okay, here are my thoughts on things still unresolved in Identity Crisis:

1) Does Atom have a motive? He has the means, and the opportunity, but does he have a motive?

2) Why the hell is Junior Boomerang so damn fast?

3) How in the hell did the Flash read Dr. Light's mind?!? Is this a Flash power that I just didn't know about?

4) The JLA mindwiped BATMAN?!? He's gonna kick their asses. They dead. They so dead.

5) No, really. (See #4.)

6) What was up with the agent at the Drake house not seeing Batman? Was that for real, did he really not see Batman? Or was it some sort of nod-and-wink type thing, where he knew Batman was there, and allowed it?

7) Ollie made some weird comment to Flash along the lines of "you guys," and it seemed to refer to speedsters, and, to tell the truth, I don't remember it verbatim right now, and my comic is at home, but I was struck by how odd it was.

8) So, the Calculator is involved, but not the mastermind? Did I read that correctly?

More questions later, undoubtedly.

Steph, I totally agree with your #5.

For #1, the only motive anyone can see is that he planned it so that Jean would fall in love with him again, which is really, really weak, especially for a pretty smart guy who's been a hero for lo these many years.

For #6, I'm pretty sure it was the latter, because as far as the GCPD are officially concerned, Batman doesn't exist.

Steph, some answersm as best I can muster. More on this later in LJ, too:

1.) I can think of no motive for Atom. A couple for Jean Loring--who has access to his technology, but even those are specious.

2.) I suspect that's a story for another day. But probably one not TOO far away.

3.) This one I think I've actually got. When Light "exploded" with energy, he actually projected a hologram of his repressed memories. It only flashed for an instant, so the Flash was the only one who could see it.

4.) & 5.) Maybe. I think I'm going to hold off on predicting Bruce's reaction. He's an odd cat, y'know?

6.) Batman doesn't exist. Therefore, the nice government agents don't acknowledge he's there. Period.

7.) The comment was "YOUR guys, meaning the Flash Rogues,of which Boomer was a member.

8.) I can't let the Calculator go yet. I think he's more tied up in this then he's letting on.

Not much help, I'msure. But hopefully some.

Victor puts waaaay too much thought into "Identiy Crisis" here and here.

Victor (or anyone), on #7, who are the Flash Rogues?

Steph, they're these guys.

So, any of the guys who were featured in that Flash museum?
