Darkseid Shows Superman How POWERFUL He Is 

Sounds like we need to cover the story of Superman vs Kingdom Come Superman from JSA.

Who is writing Darkseid? His lines are amazing! "For war is a cold game. Colder yet...is the GRAVE." How can you even hate this man.

I feel like Darkseid and Superman's entire relationship can be boiled down to "Oh, you thought the last time we fought was me at full power? Fool, I was holding back the entire time. Now you face me at my full strength." Just that quote, rephrased to fit each character on repeat forever.

DC needs to use this version of Darkseid and have him rarely show up. This is the first time in a long time that i felt that he was properly used.

26:43 Darkseid shows up, casually rips through some of the greatest heroes, then leaves the bar like the Chad he is lol

I like how darksied just shows up like did someone mention the anti-life equation. No, ok bye.

Pragmatically, burning one bad guy to make sure Mr. Darkseid can’t get a big piece of the anti-life equation seems like a fair trade.

I love how Darkseid was written here. It's been a minute since he's felt like a genuine cold threat by presence alone, rather than being an angry brawler. Just added in Michael Ironside's voice in my head, and I was good to go.

Darkseid rolled up like Deebo. He about to make everybody turn out their pockets. 😂

Bro, the writing for Darkseid is so baller. The Lord of Apokolips is HIM. HIMothy. HIMtomus Prime.

Darkseid is just such a terrifying presence. That really was an awesome scene!

I love how Darkseid it just standing there, with his hands behind his back

i like how everybody forgets Darkseid is literally a multidimensional entity and not just the avatar we see

We definitely need a Stray Catch Counter for Cyborg, Black Bolt, and Kamala Khan LOL

I have a feeling that if Cyborg and Blackbolt were both weakened and hanging off a cliff, and Rob could save just one, he would walk away. 🤣🤣🍻

"War is a cold game Colder yet, is the grave" This line by Darkseid is DEVIOUS

Bro killed a bad guy to stop an even worse guy from getting closer to muliversal domination... And he got chastized for it?sometimes these comics piss me off 🤣

You got it wrong, Kingdom come superman was MORE powerful then the canon Superman due to being older and having been in the sun longer. This was established multiple times during comics.

They seemed a little harsh on David for literally preventing Darkseid from getting the anti-life equation...

When I was reading this, all i could hear when Darkseid spoke was his voice from that one movie "Had the Kryptonian or the Amazon taken that gamble, they would have lost. They do not have the strength of character to sacrifice everything to achieve success. But you, a human? You kill your own kind to win wars. an admirable quality."

Superman: I live in a world Cardboard, having to always hold back Darkseid: I live in Galaxy of Cardboard, boy.

It's going to take Jonathan Hickman to write a DC's Cyborg one-shot for Rob to put some RESPEK on his name 😂😤

The Kingdom Come Dick Grayson became Red Robin I think. He and Starfire had a daughter. In the Earth-2 continuity Bruce cleans up Gotham, retires, marries Selena Kyle, has a daughter, becomes Police Commissioner. Dick Grayson basically keeps the Robin identity into adulthood.

Batman: Infinite Plot Armor Superman: The disrespect is Infinite

I think killing Gog was the only way to keep Darksyde from getting the anti-life equation. The other superheroes berating the guy forget their free will would have been taken otherwise. No future to say "I told you so".

Darkseid has always been MAD Disrespectful to the Justice League. Slapping them left to right!

Darkseid is up there with memorable quotes/one liners like Dr. Doom and Thanos.

Rob hating on Cyborg is just funny everytime

Love it when creators write Lord Darkseid like the god that he actually is 😂

Dan Mora and Mark Waid are the best team-up in comics right now and World's Finest is absolute fire.

the cosmic treadmill was basically invented so that Barry don't have to run all over the planet just to get to that phase where he can time travel, that's basically it's purpose. he can run without even leaving the place. the rest of its current features were added.

Idk. David saved a lot of loves by ending Gog. And, let's be real. Joker needed to be dealt with. It isn't entirely on David that Joker was able to commit to multiple crimes he did. Like, they never tried to imprison him on Jipiter or something? Phantom Zone? Shrink him down and leave him in a model world in the fortress of solitude where he can't escape? Nothing? Joker is a whole threat to the DC world.

OMFG!!!!! Darkseid on complete god mode. He sat everybody’s ass down and checked them and bounced to fold his laundry like it was nothing. Goooooddddddddaaaaaammmmn Son!!!!!!

Batman is probably having an existential crisis since Superman ain't enough to beat him no more.

85 million comics to humble superman, but god forbid we ever have a comic post-2010 to humble batman

i love when darksied gets some cold blooded shit to say! awesome writing in this book

Bro I cannot deal with this goofy "no kill" rule when an evil god is about to kill everything

Also for those confused, this story takes place years before the events of kingdom come

darkseid has always been beyond awesome. man never a dull moment with him

I groaned “omg” after everyone shit on David. People make mistakes when dealing with GALACTIC entities like dark side

This is the best kind of darkseid. Just showing up and standing there menacingly and exuding power

Darksied appearing gave me goosebumps. You can feel the power 😊

"This is the best comic ive ever read because in this darkseid humbles everyone" Yea alright DeSaad

I remember when I was a teenager I use to read Wizard magazine and every issue they had artist from the comic industry to create artwork for their cover. One of the best cover was the introduction to Kingdom Come on their cover painted by Alex Ross.

That Mora art is just so sic, this is a comic that makes my eyes happy.

I'm *LOVING* the Art style here 🤩

Okay so using some context clues and some guessing, 30 year old Kingdom Come Superman is weaker than 30 year old Prime Superman 50 year old Kingdom Come Superman is probably stronger than 30 year old Prime Superman 50 year old KC Supes is weaker than 50 year old Prime Supes Therefore: Rob is right. Prime Superman is technically stronger.

I really love your passion and excitement for the stories. It's really great to see such a positive and impassioned review of comics. I see so many jaded and negative and complaining reviews and fans, it's so refreshing to see someone who is just genuinely a fan and enjoys it.

Is no one gonna mention the panel of Darkseid stepping on Superman like he’s an insect? 😂😂😂

DC was pretty aware on how to use Gog and Magog along with the end of the world with the coming of Darkseid and an unfortunate war that killed every faction. this darkseid reminded me of Original RE3 Nemesis, just tanked physical punches and pretty much pimp slapped everyone away, minus the angry obsession to kill specific targets, this Darkseid was pretty cool, he came in, he left very calculated and the fact he left makes it sound like he could come back at any time to kill everyone

I LOOOOOOOVE the knowledge and perspective in your narrations, which are NON stop!! It doesn't matter if its a 2 min vid or 3hour vid....the info and narration are NON stop!

Very rare that I can sit through a video of someone explaining comics. But you did a very good job in that. Was thoroughly entertained

Awesome video! I love when Darkseid gets his proper due instead of how some writers nerf him.

interesting. I always forget there are version of Darkseid shown to be over powering depending on whos writing him. I'm glad you made this a long video seeing it to the stories end, it was a pretty good story.

THANK YOUUU! I haven’t been watching any comic videos lately because I noticed that it was becoming over saturated with marvel content, but thanks for bringing DC back!!

Yessir!!! Needed this man! We only get so much DC content! Keep it coming brodie

I’ve always found it strange how when Wonder Woman kills a villain, no one bat’s an eye but when someone else does it out of necessity it’s a problem.

Honestly i don't see how they can criticize david for putting down gog. Darkseid was moments away from extracting the anti life equation, didn't seem like there was time to plan much.

Awesome. I was searching your channel today for some Darkseid content, and boom you upload this!

Darkseid is cold 😂 I think he’s now my favorite villain based off his reaction to the conclusion of this scenario

That was a wild shot at cyborg 😂😂

"you mistake anger for significance." That....that was based. Genuinely and twistedly, something mature to say, lmao. It is kind of dad advice, "getting angry won't make things better."

Thanks for doing this one. I enjoyed it.

Great video again bro you always get me hyped up 👍🏼 for the comic book stories

I understand Batman and Superman's point about not killing the villains but Darkseid said it himself. War is a cold game. Modern Hero are supposed to lead by their ideals but David kinda saves the multiverse by killing Gog.

"Blood Thirsty Amazon and The Knight of Ablaze. Your Careless Ferocity makes Fools of you. For War is a Cold Game, colder yet the Grave."

Best Comic at DC right now in my opinion. Great video Rob! I always enjoy your DC Comic explanations especially the green lantern ones.

Amazing! and what is best is that Mark Waid, the same writer of Kingdom Come is behind the writing, you cannot get as more canon as canon as this. Beautiful. Gonna go watch Kingdom Come now. Also, shoutouts to David/Magog, he turns good in the end

More DC Comics please, they are always so good. This was a fantastic story, thank you sir.

Darksied out here spittin' bars like he's prepping for his ERB debut.

Rob, im in a rehab. Your vids are getting me through. Thanks, dude.😊

I love hearing you tell stories. You still got it Mr. J !

For World’s Finest 20, I like that we get to see Barry Allen Flash traverse the entire DC multiverse (pre-Crisis, Imaginary Stories, pre-Flashpoint, Hypertime, post-Flashpoint, Elseworlds, etc.) and him telling Superman and Batman that Boy Thunder is in the Kingdom Come Universe. Also, Superman and Batman seeing their Kingdom Come selves attending the funeral of the fallen heroes and them going to Planet Krypton to eat and have a chat. For World’s Finest 21, I like that the Original Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth Superman and Batman tried to convince Boy Thunder (now Thunderman) to reform before they were attacked by their Kingdom Come selves and the heroes of Kingdom Come. Also, Bruce confronting Clark when he’s angry. For World’s Finest 22, it’s impressive and epic that the Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth Clark Kent Superman and Bruce Wayne Batman have to battle David Thunderman, Gog, and the entire Kingdom Come superheroes. Also, the Original Superman and Batman learning about Gog’s backstory via Kingdom Come Metron (meaning that this series is now set in the early 70s) and the Kingdom Come Superman and Batman teaming up with them to stop Gog. For World’s Finest 23, The great things about this comic are the Original Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth Superman and Batman convincing Magog to reform with help from their Kingdom Come counterparts, Gog explaining his backstory and why he made Magog his disciple, Magog turning back on Gog after learning the truth and recruiting all the heroes of the Kingdom Come universe to aid him and help Superman and Batman, and the final page revealing Darkseid planning to use the Anti-Life Equation to take over the Kingdom Come universe. Let’s hope that the next issue will be a great one. For World’s Finest 24, the great things about this comic are the Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth Superman and Batman (and other heroes) trying to defeat Darkseid before Darkseid left after witnessing David kill Gog and Batman telling Superman that every world needs a Superman. Even though the battle is over, I know that the Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth Superman and Batman and the Kingdom Come heroes tell David that the consequences are dire for it to happen and that he became a weapon instead of a hero. At least when the Kingdom Come Spectre shows up, he tells the Earth-One/New Earth/Prime Earth Superman and Batman what happened to David (i.e. Kingdom Come) before they told David decades in the future to try and be better, which results in David taking Superman’s advice to become a better person. Also, final page showing Magog’s future becoming a bright one.

Why the hell does kingdom come not have a animated movie yet!? What the hell?!

your vids always leave me wanting more!!!

It always WINDS ME UP how these so called Heroes just attack people without provocation or reason just because they think they are evil in some way. Its such a BS reason to create conflict. Batman even says does no one in this world use their brain? Or something to that effect. David: "Hey see that guy? He is evil!" The Entire Justice League: "GET HIM!"

Kryptonite from other realities is not supposed to affect prime Superman

David did NOTHING wrong by taking out Gog and I will stan this 4eva

Darkseid drops lines that make Doctor Doom go "hold on, can you repeat that please?".

Darkseid really be walking to another universe to find the AAE like walking to the fridge to get beer, and when there's no beer he just leaves.

i eat pickles for lunch

22:42 Darkseid 🔥

Haven't enjoyed a story with Darkseid this much since Geoff Jones Darkseid Wars. Love the work Mark Waid and Dan Mora put into this amazing run.

Thanks so much for sharing this. Brilliant!!! Sort of like what Rogue One was to A New Hope....

Superman has always had a physical edge over Darkseid. Don't change anything or try to amp Darkseid and weaken Superman.

What? How is david the bad guy here, logically it makes sense to kill Gog. The Kingdom Come Universe is screwed regardless since Darkseid had already took interest in that reality due to the anti life. This is stupid. Why is David getting flack for saving everyone, it's completely out of character... For Superman and everyone to hold bitter judgement for making a sacrifice, granted David was too over zealous about his actions, that shouldn't make him any more of a bad guy due to the deeds.

That was amazing. I enjoyed it

you said it would be amazing and you did not disappoint though now i kinda want comics from darkseid's perspective

Darkseid is and always will be THE biggest badass in all of comics. Nothing in any of DC or MARVEL universes can come close.

This was soo good! 😊

Lost my comic store owner to a heartattack not that long ago these videos make me feel like I'm talking to him again

Amazing story! Thank You.

Mark Waid has been on an absolute tear with this title. Probably the best overall DC book in years.

This was awesome. I love this.

You are so awesome, thank you 🎉

This series has been amazing! DC has been just dumping on Darkseid for so long now. Being my favorite DC character, i was so happy to see Waid give him his due justice here. Epic dialogue and presence as it should be with Darkseid.

Darkseid and Thanos out here just dropping the coldest lines

“Let the Kingdom Come Universe howl in Despair for Darkseid has arrived” 🔥🔥🔥

This was incredible 👏🏽 👑

This was a really nice one
