5. How Did They Know The Bomb Would Kill The Brother?

OK, back to that inexplicably two second-timer bomb. The plan is really rather simple - get Enchantress' brother over a hatch to the flooded tube network and blast him sky high - but it makes one major assumption: the ensuing explosion will be enough to kill him. Flag and Scott Eastwood probably know it's big enough to engulf him, but this is an immortal being here; he's not necessarily going to go down easy. It's a massive gamble presented as a sure thing.

On a side note, how did El Diablo forget mid-fight his plan was to get the brother to the point over the bomb? And did nobody realise if the explosion would destroy the brother, it was probably going to kill him too; surely him taking up the fight was the moment of sacrifice?
