Since I don't think talent with a boomerang is an inherited trait, I don't really think Junior is Boomerang's son, even though Boomerang thinks he is. Junior's gotta be Barry Allen's son. It's the last bit of Barry angst they haven't hit Wally upside the head with-competing with the great one's son.

Midwiping Lois out of the marriage is a neat little solution, if only the rest of the world didn't know about Lois and Clark being married..................

I expect Batman will be dirting his little bat-boxers finding the killer now that Tim is a victim. I predict Batman will smugly announce he's found the killer, and he'll be found to be totally and completely wrong. Ralph will find the correct killer, dramatically go after him alone, and both Ralph and the killer will be destroyed around halfway through issue 7, with most of the late arriving JLA (isn't it amazing the number of blindingly fast guys they have, and every one of them will be too late?) witnessing the bloody finale.

This is the best comics story I've read in years, but I don't think it will have a nice ending. The entire optimistic view in the DCU is going to be a little damped down for a while, as a result of this miniseries.
