Brightest Day #14

What a confusing little ring that is. It drags poor Boston/Deadman to find Batman and appoint him the White Lantern savior everyone's waiting for. I wonder why the ring ultimately didn't pick Batman/Bruce Wayne. He's a good a candidate as any, and he's saved the Earth I don't even know how many times. But this is not about Bruce, it's about Boston.

While Batman is all-glowy with White Lantern, Boston gets shot and his life flashes before his eyes. He was quite a selfish prick. Seeing the error of his ways (like Scrooge! Xmas tie in!) Boston finally admits that he really wants to live. If his death was all about redemption through vengeance, then his life will be about redemption through fulfillment. He appreciates the cheese burger now so to speak.

Boston also realizes he's been hanging out with a hot young lady who's been giving him the eye, the ever patient and pacifist Dove (of Hawk and Dove). She cries as Boston moves in for the kiss. Why do girls in comics cry when the dude declares their love? It's so annoying. Anyway, they kiss and the ring is satisfied that Boston will chose the correct savior next time which is very suspect if you ask me. Batman disappears though because he's not going to watch them make out like a pervert.
