I'm just not trying to hate on the reason's why an elseworld's story takes one of the heavy hitters off the board. I understand in stories like this they have to take the big heroes off the board to raise stakes/drama, if this was main earth I'd probably have a problem but I'm willing to let it go for the sake of a non-canonical story.
For example, I love DCeased but its pretty dumb that Hal is taken out by his cell phone to become a zombie. But I accept it because it's non-canon and every other hero is getting taken out as well so its not as if its unfair.
