Not digging the old "wife commits suicide, driving husband mad" schtick, though Grundy's origin was never great anyway so it's as good as any.

What actually bugs me, weirdly enough, is that his name is actually Solomon now.

obviously, now his death is the origin of the Solomon Grundy rhyme.

Still I can't believe they're tying a variation of the normal Slaughter Swamp origin to the Death God Grundy thing though

It looks like his wife's body was not recovered. Maybe she's the Red Lantern.

He recites the rhyme to his kid (probably Solomon, jr, to explain that).

Agreed on the name being somewhat weird
