In a world where talented writers were allowed to explore the consequences of what they wrote, it certainly would.. In the world of DC Comics, where much of the story is handed down part-and-parcel from the editorial department and the suits; it just becomes one more plot hole to be spackled over. Remember, this is a label which has seen something close to two dozen books have been axed over the past 3 years with little to no closure; good writing and chance for story ramifications is a rare thing in that environment.
