Previous Post > And, as I have said, if you don't know who Hurt is, you can't begin to understand his motives, which leaves the entire story arc shrouded under a giant question mark. A very unsatisfying ending, for me anyway. Question mark you say maybe its THE RIDDLER

Dr. Hurt
now, new gods
here's my theory

Hurt= Desaad

"been there from the beginning" could mean anything
desaad could be tied into final crisis in the same role a devil figure would have taken---- suffering on earth could have been started by desaad to pave the eventual way for darkseid

hurt could actually= both desaad and perceptions of him could be consistent with interpretations of the devil

just an idea
rock of ages was such a great jla arc, the battle between bats and desaad in final crisis seems perfect

and, have i missed it? where IS desaad anyway?
