Maybe he'll take over the Robin title and rapidly age Damian Wayne up

Naomi has existed in DC for almost 3 years now and they've yet to clarify what her powers actually are...classic Bendis. I remember before the first issue where he gave this interview saying he hoped one day people would look at the scope of what he is doing with Naomi the same way they do Kirby and the New Gods.
Having read Naomi I can't tell you WTF he was talking about. |

Yeah, I totally misunderstood your post. Somehow I thought it meant issue 74 was exceptionally shit.

Haven't read any of his Legion stuff to see how he mangled them.... though I have never been super into them I guess... enjoyed bits of Mark Waid's reboot and also their appearances in Geoff John's Superman run and the New Krypton story...
Always super curious to check out their "heyday".... |

Yep @ Drave
I didn't think DC would do another Crisis storyline after Death Metal was basically 'the anti-crisis, everything happened' story...but I DO like the set up a lot for where they *seem* to be going This is the current DC mythology, as I understand it and also where I think this is all headed... Years ago The Creator/Presence created life 'The Hands' were tasked by the Presence with creating universes and multiverses In an old Swamp Thing story, The Great Darkness was first mentioned. It was shown as interacting with the Presence, touching hands and then retreating forever. There was a big Legion of Superheroes miniseries in the 80s called 'The Great Darkness Saga' which centered around Darkseid awaking in the 30th Century after losing to Orion in battle centuries before. Darkseid was referred to as 'The Great Darkness' Death Metal was all about making the previous crises into one overlapping story. It revealed the real reason behind the multiple crises that kept rebooting the multiverse was Perpetua. Perpetua was a rogue member of 'The Hands'. Perpetua created the Monitor and Anti-Monitor. She was the whisper in the ear of Superboy Prime for Infinite Crisis, the whisper in the ear of Darkseid that led to Final Crisis, the whisper in the ear of Barry Allen that led to Flashpoint. She wanted to keep the DC in a perpetual state of reboot, because the 'crisis energy' made her more and more powerful each time. Her goal was to one day become powerful enough to overthrow 'The Hands'. She was defeated. Now that everything matters and everything happened, it created a bit of a problem, as Darkseid is now all previous versions of himself, combined at once. He's never been so powerful. All powerful Darkseid has become aware of something that exists outside of the Multiverse and has been dormant 'since before the first crisis'...The Great Darkness. Darkseid used The Flash running between universes to cause a crack in the multiverse, revealing the great darkness beyond. Justice Incarnate, a team of JL made up of members from throughout the Multiverse, and was formed in the series Multiversity to stop The Empty Hand, has decided to stop Darkseid from finding the multiversal crack and using it to absorb the power of the darkness...However, Darkseid is not the ONLY character in DC whose become aware of 'The Great Darkness' and the power it holds... The Empty Hand The Upside Down Man Eclipso Nekron First up, The Upside Down Man: The Upside Down Man was formed when creation gave birth to Magic. The two first beings born of magic were from the bright light, Hecate, and from the dark side of Magic, the Upside-Down Man. Next up, Eclipso: Literally a fallen angel and holder of 'the heart of darkness' diamond, giving him many powers Nekron: The opposite of life and light in the DC Universe, the Lord of the Dead and Black Lanterns. And of course, The Empty Hand: A being of total Darkness, he represents the hand of the reader when they close a book uninterested, and his goal is the opposite of Perpetua, she wanted DC in a constant state of reboot, The Empty Hand wants DC gone forever, no more stories left to be told. I wonder if he's meant to also be the opposite of 'The Hands' that create multiverses as well. I wonder if he comes from 'The Great Darkness' itself possibly. So that is where things currently are, with Darkseid and The Empty Hand ready to battle one another for the crack in the multiverse. Nekron, Eclipso and The Upside Down Man haven't shown themselves...yet. But whomever wins, we know one thing is certain, 'The Great Darkness' is coming and it will almost certainly be the focus of the next CRISIS in the DCU. Based on the old Legion of Superheroes story I mentioned towards the beginning of this post, my best guess as to what 'The Great Darkness' is...well I think that: However, there is still one more variable introduced in the recent DC series Infinite Frontier that has yet to come into play: Pariah During the first crisis Pariah was a scientist who developed the rather horrible ability of being transported to each world in the multiverse before it was destroyed, forced to witness countless endings. Pariah appeared at the end of Infinite Frontier, eyes blacked out (possessed by The Great Darkness or maybe a servant of it perhaps), revealed he was in the Multiverse The Empty Hand had been feeding on for years, one that pre-dated the First Crisis. Pariah then transported The Flash into his own Earth. Pariah, as you can see below, has a rather different ending in mind for things in the DCU. Hmmm... |

That was an amazing post Slik, thank you. Kinda feel like I read the DC Bible. I remember Pariah and his bit there at the end. I didn't have the entire backstory of everything else there, but I read every bit of the post.
This should be good! |

also now that tv is on its last leg cws model of selling shows into syndication isnt making what it used too and its never made money off its live airing because the ratings are too low for ad dollars to keep them afloat.

Well, whatever DC is building is certainly going to be interesting...DC just announced they are cancelling and killing off The Justice League with issue 75 (literally, killing off). Joshua Williamson, whose been crafting Infinite Frontier and Justice Incarnate that I've discussed above, will be taking over JL as headwriter for one, final issue:

I like that Batman is really Hul Kogan.
He kills Darkseid and just says "HH". Brother. |
