What is the 'Black Lantern Batman Story' about?

The Black Lantern Batman comic features a dark and complex storyline where Batman faces supernatural threats and has to confront his own mortality.

The Batman Black Lantern comic features a dark and complex storyline where Batman is involved in a supernatural conflict related to the Black Lantern Corps. It's full of action and mystery.

The main character is obviously Batman, but in his Black Lantern form. Other important characters include the heroes who have to face him, like Green Lantern. Green Lantern often has to deal with the Black Lanterns in general, and in this story, he's one of the key figures in trying to figure out what to do with Black Lantern Batman. Also, characters like Alfred, who has a connection to Batman, are relevant as they react to this strange and terrifying version of Batman.

They might be related in some crossover storylines or alternate universes within the comic world. But usually, they have their own separate story arcs.

The Black Lantern origin story has deep roots in the DC Comics mythology. It begins with Nekron, a being of death. Nekron creates the Black Lantern power rings. These rings have the ability to seek out the dead across the universe. The rings are attracted to those with strong emotions, particularly negative ones like fear and anger. Once a dead body is chosen by a black ring, it is reanimated into a Black Lantern. The Black Lanterns are not like normal undead; they have a unique power source related to death energy. They can also use the emotional energy of fear from living beings to fuel their powers. This makes them a very dangerous and terrifying force in the DC Comics universe, often causing chaos and destruction as they carry out Nekron's dark plans.

In a fanfic where Batman becomes a lantern, his character would likely undergo some changes. The lantern power might give him new insights into the emotional spectrum. For example, if he were a Green Lantern, his willpower could be enhanced even more. He could also face new challenges as he has to deal with the Lantern Corps' politics and enemies. It would be a great opportunity to explore how Batman's dark and brooding nature would interact with the more cosmic and colorful Lantern world.

The Batman White Lantern comic features Batman getting involved in a cosmic struggle and gaining new powers related to the White Lantern.

Perhaps in the fanfiction, the Red Lanterns see Batman as a potential asset. They manipulate events in Gotham to push Batman to his breaking point, causing him to embrace the Red Lantern power. Batman then has to figure out how to use this new power without losing his identity. He might try to reform the Red Lanterns from within, using his own code of ethics to influence them.

One idea could be Batman being forced to team up with a Yellow Lantern to stop a common enemy. Maybe a powerful villain from the fringes of the universe is threatening Gotham and the Yellow Lantern has some knowledge or power that Batman needs.

It could be about Batman's encounter with a new villain wearing a black mask or a mission where he has to uncover the mystery behind such a mask.
