Boomtubes would indicate some apokaliptan influence, although I would point to the fact that Intergang seems to be at the very least the go between with Apokalips. I haven't seen any evidence that the Light has actually contacted Apokalips, whereas we know Intergang has and they have a history of using and selling alien weapons (see "Salvage"). Also if the Reach had been pulling the strings from the beginning, then yes they Light would have had a partner all the way back at the beginning of season one and probably even further back. You are making good points though. X)
