Get ready for a wild ride into the DC Universe because things just got a whole lot darker! For years, fans of Darkseid have wondered about one particular quote, a moment when the ultimate villain makes his final statement. Now, nearly two decades later, that statement is coming to life!
Darkseid's Ominous Prophecy
Darkseid, a powerful force for evil, a villain who seeks to take away free will from all living creatures, has spent decades trying to take over. In a crazy twist, we're about to get the story from DC All In Special #1. A huge, dark moment comes to the surface. Darkseid brought an incredible shift with his very own universe!
This new universe is a massive update for the DC Multiverse: it is the Absolute Universe and it's even been suggested it's something predicted by Grant Morrison in Final Crisis from 2008! It's wild, and dark and everything that Darkseid always wanted.
A Twisted Reality
In this brand new universe, the concept of hope, is considered the very enemy of life! It completely reverses expectations. Everything seems to go exactly as planned and even goes as far to turn things upside down! Even Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, are flipped from what we expect to see. They're considered to be heroes still, fighting for that spark of hope! This twisted storyline might bring you to another realm. It's the reality where Darkseid's way of being has taken center stage and for those of you that think these heroes will stand in his way!
Darkseid's Ultimate Victory
This ultimate villain made an iconic comment in Final Crisis about Superman! Something very profound and haunting and a testament to his true evil. Darkseid was taunting Superman by suggesting, “When the universe itself is Darkseid, when everyone is Darkseid, will Superman become the enemy of existence?” For those who loved to see this legendary confrontation this line comes back. But why does it become relevant? Now we can understand, fully, just how relevant and powerful this moment becomes. This takes us to Darkseid's ultimate dream becoming a full reality. Darkseid's goal was absolute power over all things!
Superman As The Enemy
You might wonder, how is it that Superman became the ultimate enemy of existence? Because his universe became what he always was, but flipped, with an alternate Darkseid now on the good guys' side. If you're a huge fan of Darkseid and his vision for Anti-Life this whole storyline might hit all the right notes.
- This entire new world, completely controlled by Darkseid is super messed up! Everything exists for him, it completely reflects his image.
- Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are forced into a challenging position!
- They are working to bring a touch of hope which really puts them at odds with the Absolute Universe.
What was really intriguing is how Darkseid's effect created some surprising additions!
- Even Darkseid now seems to have his superhero team.
- Some have fallen into the clutches of evil.
That means this entire universe is full of those dark forces that fans enjoy, too!
The DC's Trinity Faces New Challenges
Fans have seen Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. But you might have never expected to see this twisted form of the Trinity on your screens. Their history and legend, saving us again and again has been challenged!
- For years, it appears there hasn't been anything strong enough to really defeat these legendary heroes!
- We saw so many iconic foes get stopped!
- Even Darkseid has previously failed in many efforts!
Yet in this Absolute Universe there's no chance that they might stand. Even with this awesome display of what the Trinity brings there will be major effort to restore this Darkseid universe. These iconic heroes have faced this challenge for centuries, with even the darkest moments leading them towards triumph.
A Haunting Legacy
What was incredible, and certainly brought an extra layer to the new series from DC! The storyline from Final Crisis has been remembered by fans forever. This entire story about Darkseid's dominion, with his ultimate defeat of Batman might give those that were paying close attention in the previous DC publications a sense of déjà vu, or even inspire those new to Darkseid a glimpse into just what an intense, terrifying and powerful villain is now facing us on screen! For those that are huge DC Comics fans you won't be able to resist finding this great comic. You might even find even more new aspects of the story to ponder!
To think that these huge villains, Darkseid especially could leave their mark! This may also leave viewers wondering about new stories waiting to happen and these three, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman have all worked to restore and rebuild! Even if that meant becoming the "enemy of all" to save their universes.
