The Future Of The DC Universe

After "Absolute Power" came to a conclusion, something amazing happened, as if it were going to continue to get more complex!

  • A new series of books was released - "DC All In Special #1.", showing a special move by Darkseid. One of the big bosses who was looking to conquer the universe, got taken out.
  • There's a universe that wasn't around called "Elseworld" and it ended up getting hit by some destructive energy! This energy created something new, and changed the universe forever!

It's safe to say Darkseid might just show up as something else.

As we have learned from previous updates to the DC Comics. There is a sense of what fans really love and why! It's really going to give fans more than they ever thought the universe had to offer. That means for those who love to get into the multiverses that have existed for decades, we will only see a portion of that universe as the future has a small, yet mighty change that will shape it for some time.

Darkseid has now gained the ultimate form.

A New Era For DC:

Fans have been given so much through these various comics, however! While it might look like a dramatic change to these "alternate worlds," a small detail shows there is still so much to explore.

A small aspect is what makes DC's universe so engaging as the writers have to think about the different realities. "Prime Earth" will be more impacted by the change!

With all this happening there's not one, but two universes to see now.

  • That would be the iconic, classic "Prime Earth.
  • But also "Absolute", which Darkseid is responsible for.

With "Darkseid" getting back at heroes! What it means for the entire universe, may not have even been noticed until they find a new, even larger crisis! The stories will continue to be exciting as we head towards this new change. It appears that fans will just have to wait and see. However, this new direction with Darkseid's power, and a new era for the DC Universe makes things more dramatic.

As much as this might seem to be the biggest blow! We know these heroes can overcome! There's just a ton of drama in store for us.
