I still don't understand how there even is a skull, if Bruce isn't dead. That still confuses me, but that's a rant for another day. I like the payoff with ressurected heroes being brough back. Really limits who can fight them, if Barry and Hal do go to the dark side. Every major...

Amazing crossover thus far.
