In the late hours of the evening, near Gotham Business and Industrial Park, eyewitnesses reported seeing Green Lantern of The Justice Society of America locked in a desperate struggle with metahuman assailants.
The battle resulted in several grisly civilian deaths and significant property damage as the super powered titan’s engaged in combat. Witnesses claim that Green Lantern protected onlookers from harm until he was finally defeated and killed. One witness claims to have seen the assailants actually tear the veteran hero’s heart from his chest at the climax of the conflict.

Green Lantern has been an icon and hero of the American people for many decades. First emerging in the early part of the twentieth century, this long live veteran of the masked hero community has risked life and limb on numerous occasions. Experts speculate that the conflict that ended in Green Lantern’s untimely death is a direct result of the vigilante phenomena and that tragedies like these could have been avoided if law enforcement remained in the hands of legitimate government and law enforcement agencies. Despite the debate such observations open up, Green Lantern will be missed by his admirers and friends. Our thoughts go out to his family.
