No, that's correct. The full sentence would have been something like 'if my brother had been dealing with Demons, do you really think we wouldn't have spotted it?'.

Superman's talking bullshit in that comic. Most people who die stay dead, and given the lack of screentime the Ultramarines have they probably aren't fighting anyone with an easy out.
You really shouldn't be skipping over a Lantern, especially one who just displayed a scary familiarity with secrets and disparate information.
Unless there is some residual tension from OL declining to help him with Kon.

Mister Kent doesn't quite know how to deal with the situation, and he and Orin are friends.

You know, I actually kind of hate this panel. With a fiery intensity.

To me, it feels like a deliberate attack on the idea that we should expect mainstream comics to move beyond the Righteous Face Punching they've wallowed in for years now. Worse, it uses the fact that comics can be gloriously camp - one of the things I most cherish about the medium - and renders it down into mere ammunition for its screed.

Kingdom Come had a thoughtful dissertation on how lethal vigilanteism can go wrong in a superhero setting. This is like a small, angry child's shallow effort to invoke the same ideas because they want the meanyheads on Facebook to shut up.
 
Inb4 Damien Wayne is why Batman gets into an argument with OL

That doesn't say much; most people are neither supervillains or superheroes.
And the fact that the Ultramarines haven't fought anyone with easy outs is no excuse either, since their intelligence files most definitely should have information of people who DO.
And of the fact that shady government agencies, supervillains and hostile cosmic forces all consider dead capes to be a resource to be tapped.

Human, but disappointing from Superman.
Then again, you have established your Superman as a much less upstanding individual than he's usually portrayed.
If anything, WTR!Diana is closer to what canon Supes is supposed to be.

Nature of the Big Two.
There are Elseworlds and alternative publishers for permanent consequences and shit.
DC/Marvel are what they are though.

Possible future characters aside Paul could ask the Greek gods that actually like him for some clue to so he knows where to start looking or why Oceanus is involved. Though chances are while the league tries to track down Aquaman's other kid another problem will pop up forcing the team to deal with it; probably more demons or a character from Hellblazer, some new magi-tech weapon/device, or anything concocted by the Light to make things worse that connects with Wonder Woman's own comic history.

But hey another possible member of the team, though Paul should start forming a more public team or organization comprised of the various side-kicks and young superheroes, or at the very least leave them something to contact him or team/league. The only real problem would be how certain characters would react given the fact that how angry Aquaman was now just learning that he has a son he never knew existed. Not that all of them would be bad but the reactions can vary, similarly to how most of the team is turned off by Canis's Apocalypse way of thinking.

Edit: Actually, how many people do you think name kids after their favorite JL heroes on Earth-16? Some work better than others, obviously, but e.g. Wonder isn't a half-bad girls' name, and I bet there's an elementary school class in Central City with, like, five kids named Flash.

Seems like we're getting to the kind of epic climatic fight we haven't had in a long while. I'm quite eager to see how things are gonna go.

Yeah, I'm a fan of events that span more than a single episode.

Just pointing out that OL just revealed that Aquaman had an illegitimate kid, and determined that the kid was missing.
Without moving from his spot.
Bypassing the whole investigation of motive for the attack by several days.

Did the fact that everyone would misspell it constantly play into that decision?

A quick Google search shows that there are at least two men alive today with the legal given name Batman. One can only assume there would be more of them in a world where he's real. So it wouldn't actually break his secret identity to name his son Batman. Just leave the "Junior" off the paperwork.

I figured it would actually help his secret identity. It's entirely in-character for eccentric celebrities like Bruce Wayne to give their kids especially idiosyncratic names (cf Moon Unit, North West)

But whomever the actual Batman is, he would never be so stupid as to draw attention to himself by naming his child after his own secret identity! It's the perfect cover!

Keeping track of Bruce, Batman, and Batman would probably end up driving Alfred, Richard, and Talia up the wall, though.

Better yet, he could get them involved more directly. Even past the number he's on good terms with, I'd think they'd have a vested interest in keeping Oceanus contained, and dealing with vested interests is kinda OL's thing.

Divorce and a pigsty don't really compare against a loose Titan, but then again they're Greek Gods.
