3. The new Batman had no problem using a gun to fight off the reanimated Black Lanterns.

Answer: It was a secret passage to the Batcave

Batman, Robin and Red Robin all used the tunnel to escape the Black Lanterns.

7. What did the Black Lanterns want from each of their victims?

The Black Lanterns use their rings to construct scenes that elicit emotions from their victims. The Black Lanterns attempt to cause as much pain and despair as they can only to then rip out the victims hearts and eat them when they are filled with rage.

8. What DC Universe character was Deadman sent to recruit?

Answer: Etrigan

Etrigan, the demon who shares an existence with the human Jason Blood, was thought to be the best solution to help defeat the Black Lanterns.

9. Red Robin was killed in the fight against the Black Lanterns.

Answer: False

10. How did the Batfamily ultimately escape the Black Lantern attack?

Answer: Using one of Mr. Freeze's guns

Batman, Robin and Red Robin were each encased in ice with the use of a confiscated Freeze Gun from the Batcave.

When it was safe to escape Deadman possessed each man and helped them to break out of the ice.
