After the epic, yet controversial finale of Season 6’s ‘The Walking Dead’ where we got to see someone from their perspective being bludgeoned and killed brutally by Negan’s beloved bat “Lucille”, there has been much speculation as to who was on the end of that bat. It’s not difficult to find evidence of fans debating the possible theories as to who got killed off. You have the comic book fans pointing to Glenn while others point to Abraham and several other smaller characters present in the scene.

The marketing team behind AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ has been having fun with keeping the tension ramped up for the big reveal in October and they did not disappoint yesterday when they released the character posters of everyone that was present while Negan was picking his next victim. And I mean, everyone! All 10 characters have their own posters, each of them staring up looking pissed as they are confronting “Lucille” and waiting to see if they survive or not.

This decision by AMC to release character posters of everyone not only increases the tension that we are all certainly feeling towards who’s getting the bat, but also is a brilliant move. It doesn’t provide any hints, which we are all actively scrambling to seek out. It also pokes the hornet’s nest among fans and brings ‘The Walking Dead’ back into the conversation.

The first trailer for the seventh season of ‘The Walking Dead’ premieres tomorrow at San Diego Comic Con. Keep your eyes peeled and stay tuned for more updates.

If you’d like to talk about your theories surrounding who gets the bat, don’t hesitate to tweet me @birdiesrunamok. I like theorizing.
