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

[@lolwut6666]

Hypocrites in DC superman and batman they always go" we have to stop (insert badguy) by any means" In this comic they are like we CANT let Darkseid get the info he wants....then when Darkseid is about to get what he wants and no one can stop him and so a hero stops him. Then superman and batman get all pissed and such. Sorry he's a hero cause if Darkseid got what he wanted, Darkseid would have ruined everyone.

[@saltidog86]

Wasn’t there a story where Atlas was thrashing Superman and KC Supes just dumped him back into the micro verse?

[@MrmeleePOV]

Yea rob missed a lot on this one especially mentioning king one Superman is weaker when in turn my mans isn’t even vulnerable to kryptonite anymore and of course gog being in the jsa comic

[@haylongwang3002]

lol that would be nice regardless. Tho you should also cover Superman/Batman public enemies while on it. Tho tbh think it will just boil down to DC inconsistency.

[@dragonhero14]

@6666 Given the position here, there were more heroes coming in. David could've chosen to stall. He is fairly capable when he wants to be. But the issue is that he got afraid and then hid. Other heroes ran in knowing they couldn't stop him. But they understood they needed to stall for time. The story proved that all that time, he had been playing pretend hero. He wasn't willing to own up to his mistakes or sacrifice himself. This isn't DC being hypocritical. This is them showing the difference between a hero and someone who is not. A hero will take often the hard road seldom walked and sacrifice themselves at the drop of a hat for someone innocent. That's why you can look at Iron Man and see him as a hero with all the poor choices and mistakes he's made. It would be easy for the Justice League to "do what it takes" to regin in crime. But that also has consequences, like removing people's free will and choice. Just thinking about it, but there might've also been a way for him to take Apocolypse away with him to another place in the multiverse.

[@bfeldz1023]

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.

Frank lacks the subtle eloquence and threatening tone of Michael Ironside. Ironside just has a smoother voice, befitting a God king.

[@Adorni]

@@siyasithole7995 In theory, I agree with that, but I think that’s definitely the weakest aspect of this story- the other heroes were on their way, but Darkseid already beat _two_ Supermen just by looking at them, and wasted Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, two Batmen, and the Flash with little more effort. What were the other heroes going to do at that point besides get roflstomped, too? The story contrived David to only having *_one_* option, which was killing Gog to stop an obviously OP Darkseid from getting the Anti-Life Equation and subjugating all of existence, and then had the other heroes gang up on him in a moral outrage for taking “the easy way out.” A better way to do this would have been to not have Darkseid show up at all, and have David betray and blast Gog in the back, killing him in a dirty way, thinking he was doing the right thing because the heroes - while able to put up a good fight - appeared to be failing to stop Gog because they were pulling their punches, or letting their code get in the way of stopping a universe-ending threat, even though we know that these guys should have been able to take Darkseid, if push came to shove. As it is, I’m not siding with the heroes, here. The story made Darkseid look unbeatable, David make a clutch choice, everyone yell at him, and then he gets petulant and indignant, rather than accept that he took someone’s life, but only did so because there were no other options.

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

[@EmrysMerlin8807]

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

[@kent_nelson]

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

[@OverRyneThousand]

your vids always leave me wanting more!!!

[@jackhanver1420]

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.

[@vietcuongnguyenle8530]

The ideal of DC superhero is delusional They don’t want to against their moral standard But they not have the capability to avoid failed It like they don’t fear failed because they know the writter will revive everything for them if they failed to start again What the heck is that shit They technically prioritize their pride about moral than what they protect

[@durrangodsgrief6503]

@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 its by I favor the original name of a hero more Heracles is called a hero and so many other they kill but we dont just look at that but the good things they did dc heroes are a delusion and lie

[@greyworld6242]

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

[@timsgotissues3581]

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

[@40cal22]

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

[@justinmoody9164]

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.

[@bricky7081]

Because the Warrior Code.

[@vietcuongnguyenle8530]

@@bricky7081 it strange when they let her keep “ warrior code” but other people is not when not just wonder woman have this thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

They have batted eyes, they've been so hyprocritically antagonistic to her when she killed Max Lord and Medusa they literally tried to kick her out of the league because of her killing those two who would've been responsible for the death of millions had she not killed them

Kryptonite from other realities is not supposed to affect prime Superman

[@johnnytightlips991]

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

[@wordsmyth659]

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

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

[@siyasithole7995]

Yes, he did do something HE KILLED he broke the number 1 rule that all heroes must follow he is not the judge , jury,and executioner He wants to kill, then he should be prepared for the hero community to turn their back on him because he's no longer a hero , he's a weapon

[@Colechamdiceman]

That's literally not a rule. @@siyasithole7995

[@bigeent.5160]

@@siyasithole7995i would say that but Jason be kickin it wit Batman like it’s nothing so🤷🏾‍♂️😂

[@TheFoolishable]

Batman not killing joker has led to numerous people dying. Same with Superman and Lex Luthor. I’m pretty sure Wonder Woman kills regularly too. I get the premise but certain villains need to be put down. The hero’s don’t have to be on a killing spree like the punisher but at the very least certain scenarios are required

[@michaelclark8831]

No GOG reflex🤣!

[@fujocritic9603]

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

[@Supreme0757]

22:42 Darkseid 🔥

[@glint3924]

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.

[@Victorcreed85]

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.

[@956device9]

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.

[@kingsman8475]

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

[@gagzman1]

This is every writer now, superman gets beaten up by all the vilians, then you'll hear he is holding back 😂. They should literally call him HOLDBACK MAN , change his crest from S to H because there's no point anymore.

[@kingsman8475]

​@@gagzman1It has become a disturbing pattern by DC. Batman and WW are not on Superman's level. I really wanted to see Superman beat the hell out of Rogol Zaar, but Superman could barely hurt him. The same with Atlas. The last good beating is when Superman fought Wraith which was an excellent story. Superman fights him in the Earth's core. DC continues to Amp everyone's power. Not good!

[@gagzman1]

@kingsman8475 Not sure what they gain from all of it. Annoying as hell if you ask me.

[@kingsman8475]

@gagzman1 I think all types of politics

[@kingsman8475]

@gagzman1 Politics is alive and strong in DC. Superman's son gay. WW can fly now and is closer in strength to Superman. Superman is afraid to fight Martian Manhunter. It's an all-out war against Superman.

[@billy1673]

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

[@byejaye]

Darkeseid is the ultimate villian without caring to be. He just knows everywhere he goes hes untouchable.

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

It honestly sounds like the original version or even the idea of Injustice at least to me, props to your vid, i mean the explanation behind the kingdom come universe.

[@Rahhelthethird]

That's a pretty interesting Iteration of the Kingdom Come storyline. Plus it also bring back the concept of Hypertime when characters remember certain plot points at times and not at other times.

[@rayzermaniac5218]

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!"
