What can we confirm about Warner
Bros.’ Justice League so far? We know
Zack Snyder (director of Man of Steel )
has a lot to say about how his film fits
into the Justice League universe, and
that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark
Knight Rises ) is reportedly not set to
play Batman in the picture. Other than
that, we know Will Beall ( Gangster
Squad) is writing the screenplay which
will feature Superman, Batman, Green
Lantern, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the
Flash and other heroes. But who will
these heroes unite against, exactly?
Will it be an army of faceless evildoers,
much like the Chitauri in The Avengers ?
Not likely, since the Marvel sequel will
be opening the same year as the DC
picture and The Avengers 2 already
has a Mad Titan in Thanos. So who in
the DC universe could possibly be more
powerful? Hit the jump to find out.
Though this is just a rumor at
present, possible spoilers clearly follow
ahead, so proceed at your own risk. In
a recent report from Latino-Review , the
guys are pretty confident that they’ve
nailed the big baddie for the Justice
League team-up. It makes sense, as
DC’s got some heavy hitters on the
heroic side who are going to need a
substantial boss to go up against
instead of a bunch of punching bags.
So just who is it going to be?
None other than…Darkseid! Originally
introduced in 1970, Darkseid has been
a primary antagonist of Superman and
the Justice League for over 40 years.
Outside of the comics, he’s also
appeared in television shows like
1984′s Super Friends, the 90s’
Superman: The Animated Series and the
2000s animated versions of Justice
League. He also played the major
antagonist for the final season of the
live-action series, Smallville. Superman
aside, for those of you who think the
under-powered Batman is toast when it
comes to going up against Darkseid,
check out the Batman: The Brave and
the Bold episode, “Darkseid
Descending” to see how that battle
plays out.
One of the most powerful characters in
the DC universe, the god Darkseid has
incredible strength, invulnerability,
endurance, immortality, a genius
intellect and telekinetic powers.
However, his greatest strength and his
deadliest weapon is the Omega force, a
manipulation of cosmic energy that he
directs into Omega Beams (beams that
shoot from his eyes and can bend
around objects, eliminating whatever
they hit from existence) and the Omega
Sanction, a banishment to hellish
alternative realities. Though Darkseid
possesses even more powers than
those listed here, he most often likes to
work as a manipulator, using his
superior brain-power to lure and trick
the heroes into doing his bidding. No
word yet on if Granny Goodness and
the Female Furies will be joining the
fun, but Darkseid alone should be a
proper villain for Supes and the gang!
Let us know what you think about
Darkseid in Justice League.
