Flash and Green Lantern panel at C2E2
Overall kinda lame, as people kept asking off-topic questions, but there was an interesting tidbit.
Newsarama and CBR covered the panel.
Q: What's up for the Flash?
Geoff Johns: The first arc deals with a group called the Renegades that are these Rogues from the future the 25th century to arrest Barry Allen for a murder he has yet to commit.
Ian Sattler: Did he do it?
Johns: Maybe.
Q: More Intertia?
Johns: No, he's dead too. But there's always time travel. ...Nah, I'm just joking around, they're really dead.
Q: Will Booster Gold be showing up with the time-travel element in the Flash?
Schlagman: That's an interesting question.
Johns says they talked about it.
Q: What crime did Digger Harkness do after his resurrection to get him back in jail? Or is this based on his previous crimes?
Johns: Yes.
Q: Is there a legal precedent in the DCU for culpability for crimes you've committed before you're resurrected?
Johns says he'll have Boomerang complain to the guards.
Q: What happens to any more characters that die?
"Dead is dead."
Here's the interesting question. This is how Newsarama reported it:
Second to last question was about Barry catching up with the Rogues. Wally had come to find that the Rogues respected Barry -- but that might be a lie.
CBR phrased it a bit differently:
The issue of bringing Barry Allen "back up to speed" with the present in terms of his relationship with the Rogues and his conception of what happened between them and Wally while he was gone, to which Johns explained "The Rogues always told Wally there was a mutual respect between them and Barry, and that was a lie."
I'm interested in what they're going to do about this relationship between Barry and the Rogues. Why did they lie to Wally? What does it mean for the future between them and Barry?
