"The Fastest Man Alive inspired many worlds and universes when he sacrificed himself to save them all, and had risen to near sainthood by the time he was suddenly reborn. As he struggled to uncover the secrets behind his own return, the Earth was plunged into the Blackest Night. The Flash found the hope he inspired in others made him worthy to join the Blue Lantern Corps, and that his rebirth might hold one of the secrets to bringing the Blackest Night to an end."

From Wikipedia:
With Bart and Conner Kent's return, both of their statues were removed from the Titans Tower's memorial. However, Nekron, the "black personification" of Death, sought reclaim their lives during the Blackest Night. Bart, along with Wally, raced across the globe to warn every hero of the Black Lantern Corps' invasion. Bart later arrived at Coast City with Wally and scattered members of the Justice League and Teen Titans to take a stand against Nekron, who was responsible for the Black Lanterns. Despite being resurrected, Bart's previous status as a deceased still allowed one of the undead lord's black rings to transform him into a Black Lantern.

After his grandfather is chosen as a Blue Lantern by Ganthet of the Guardians of the Universe and leader of the Blue Lantern Corps, Bart immediately engages battle with him. Barry's blue power ring detects that Bart is still alive but he would eventually die if not free from the black ring soon. Barry nearly releases Bart from the black ring using blue energy constructs crafted in the images of Bart as Impulse and Kid Flash, before being interfere by Black Lantern versions of Professor Zoom and Solovar. Wally and Blue Lantern Bro'Dee Walker join Barry to against them.
