like others said only dr fate was in on hawkman faking his death but even if they were one group defintely wasnt in on it .... the vilains of the DCU so my point still stands the villains of the DCU saw hawkman' a big time JSAer with ties to the JLA, get taken out by a groupd of his enemies and all the super hero community did was have a funeral


bessides Identiy crisis( which i thought stunk by the way) there never has been a super hero crack down on villians when a hero dies

why should the rogues expect one now? why should the villians of the DCU get their panties in a bunch because the rogues killed bart? nothing is going to happen to them ( the villains i mean )

the bad guys have to be bad otherwise why do we need good guys

someone mention that the rogues used to be bankrobber type crooks sorry i cant remeber who post and i too lazy to go back and look lol

you are right and i did like them as such and i admit this might be bad direction to go in with the rogues

but my point is its been along time since comic writers used those kind of crimes in their stories the conflict we see in 99.9% of comcis nowadays is the hero or those very close to them being attacked directly the heroes are th targets sooner or later one of them has to get "hit" so if flashes villains hit him why should batmans villaisn care when they are trying the same thing except that batman is the target or supermans or GAs or GLs


maybe th writerw will come up with something that makes the "backlash" agaisnt he rogues make more sense but right now i am scratching my head

BTW if you didnt read that hawkman story we are talking about you should check it out... good stuff with some really impressive art by sean bennett
