I never thought about this before... but I would friggin' love a Justice Lords VS Crime Syndicate story.

[@ricardomiles2957]

As a fight or a story? Because for what I recall the Justice Lords are a Cold hearted version of the Justice League that are Tyrants but not really evil, they are more like Generals in a war scenario so unless they pull something like the animation crisis on two earths, there's isn't much of a story

[@punkxblaze]

@@ricardomiles2957 As a story. You're right, of course, but they're also characters that appeared in a single two-part episode of a cartoon, so I think there's probably room for a good writer to expand on the concept and actually make them interesting. Interacting with the Crime Syndicate could cause them to re-evaluate their morals. Some characters could have a redemption, but maybe some of them get even worse or even join the Crime Syndicate.

[@donovanlarsen7982]

@Atomic Portel The Seven would be torn apart immediately. The Crime Syndicate is literally an evil and merciless version of the Justice League who scale way above The Seven.

[@mariosmith3301]

Hell yeah that would be classic asf..

We need a Zoo Crew animated movie with Rob in the role of Captain Carrot.

If I recall. There was an Animated Series...uh...what was it called again *does a quick search*..."Loonatics Unleashed". It is not Zoo Crew but it is kind of an Alternate Earth Zoo Crew lol.

[@mattway18]

The Justice Lords are from the JL cartoon.

[@Lord0x]

Justice Lords started in JL cartoon and one of 52 earth that have their own version of the Justice Lords if I'm not wrong the earth is earth 50.

[@Ozzy_2014]

The episode based on the idea the Justice Lords lost their way when Wallace (Wally the redhead ) died. They decided to be proactive. To not rule by taking personal control but sitting above humanity and acting as peacemakers. You will be allowed to rule but only in the manner we think best. You will be good and peaceful because we are watching. We won't let you hurt eachother anymore. As for the Zoo crew of the JLA (Just 'Lotta Animals) they are adorable. Any better reason to keep them. Justice Lords BTW the inspiration for Injustice. Though no doubt inspired by Armegeddon 2001 from 1991. A future superman through sadness/regret/despair becomes a tyrant and try's to take over the planet. A possible future.

[@EI-diablo-r9i]

Scott and tynion are world builders involving old characters. He just is reminding everyone on what was already there, just not clear b4. This book gave much memories. Owlmans got his old betrayal thing pushed on him, same as n52 and b4.

[@travisbewley7084]

But wait, after this time they will reveal who was pulling Perpetua's strings all along, all along! Like, I'm not even paying attention anymore because this will all just get retconned away later. These crisis level stories are just an aroboris that eats away at the legitimacy of what came before it.

[@Bezaliel13]

@@travisbewley7084 I realize you are just kidding, but *nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.* Perpetua is at the ceiling right below that all powerful, absolute character that exists purely because of Christians, so there cannot be a bigger threat. Not to mention that this thing is already really big when measuring in released issues, so I doubt there can be from a business standpoint. Also, that comparison with an ouroboros was nonsensical and argued your previous statement about it getting retconned away by complaining about the earlier stuff *sticking around.* Sure the ouroboros is a symbol of rebirth, but your use of it was just poor.

[@travisbewley7084]

@@Bezaliel13 I'm not saying it as a literal sense more more from a readers point of view. The new stories and bigger bad eat away from the things that happen before. Now the anti monitor wasn't just his own character with his own motivation but a pawn in a grander scheme. For me (Just stating my personal tastes here, as we all are) this just cheapens things that came before. How many times have you though you knew the ceiling of power in the DC universe? How many times has that got shattered with a new layer made up? They keep raising the stakes with bigger bads and it's no replacement for building interesting conflicts. I just can't take this universe seriously because I'm just waiting for the next retcon to tell me what I knew was only a small part in a grander picture that is itself a small part in a grander picture and so on and so on. This sort of thing has its limits.

[@Bezaliel13]

@@travisbewley7084 Oh, you were going for a metaphor of them "cannibalizing" stuff. Even ignoring using a symbol of the life cycle around the concept of reboots, which was a bit mindscrew-y, you should just avoid using the ouroboros because how it features autocannibalism when you are trying to say this "ate away" at something else. As for your "cheapening," I see it more as that thing where a character was initially not that big, but then gets retconned as being more important, for he was introduced as some villain just from the anti-matter reality that stuck around to stay relevant before this retcon of him "always being important" or whatnot. None, for it is still DC's version of the "One Above All," because... Christianity. Like I explained earlier, I do not think they can go beyond her, for she was connected to the Presence, monotheists will get upset if they make someone beyond God, and this has been really, really long. Personally, I like Perpetua because she feels important. BarBATos just seemed like another "Ultimate Evil" that would have appeared, be beaten, and basically be moved on from, like Hecate, but his crazy power of the Dark *Multiverse* ended up mattering by breaking the Source Wall and lead to Perpetua, which means they already did what you joked about in this arc. Of course, I say that because of Marvel lately. Seriously, Marvel had Hulk tell Venom that his older than the universe dark god, Knull, had nothing to do with him when he has his own, The One Below All. Also, I missed what happened with Nyx, but she seemed to have also been just like the Chaos King. Compared to that, Perpetua is far better by being a bigger bad that *_FELT LIKE IT._* She was not just one event that came and went. She had a events that lead to hers, which was made up of several events instead of the usual. I get that you dislike that "Ganon" was just a "manifestation of Demise," but this is better than the norm. p.s. Ugh, I just realized that your statement about the ceiling was made messy by the Source *Wall.* It is confusing that you are not talking literally, and yet you use metaphors like that, especially the _ouroboros._ Stay away from the ouroboros.

It sounds like this isn't her actual life she must meant to cede but her life tied to the multiverse she was formed into a form to correspond with. Perpetua formed an army that were sealed up with her.

[@certifiedsliim]

I look at it as the presence and the one above all as brothers who live across the street. Connected but not running the show of the other brothers. They work in tandem but have different motivations. Presence doesn’t go into one above all’s house without permission and the one above all doesn’t go into the Presence house without permission. But effectively they are siblings with a lot of the same views but different motivations and goals. On the other side of the source wall which is what I like to think as as a street is the Marvel Multiverses. Around the corner is Dark Horse and etc. if the source wall ever crumbles (I.e. DIsney buys out DC Comics or WB buys out Marvel Comics) then the universal realms would merge.

[@tajup8741]

Presence as revealed in the death metal #1 is shown that the connective energy and the crisis energy is born from the presence and the source and the source judges are servants of the presence. Presence dosent care.

Hey rob can you do the convergence tie-in for the crime syndicate? As odd as it sounds I always liked the original crime syndicate best.

[@weatherboy0149]

I can’t help that this whole string of events all roping in the original crises and even Watchmen will lead to a reboot to end all reboots, leading to a universe where DC can essentially move on from crisis events. It has so much of an Endgame feel that I couldn’t imagine them continuing on as usual. They know there’s confusion with rebooting and trying to explain what carries over and what doesn’t, so maybe they’re gonna try to take more of a marvel approach where they keep the most important lore for characters (like death of Superman and Death in the Family for example) and move forward with a storyline that involves little to no reboots
