While 'Death of the Justice League' is happening, back in Batman's own private corner of the DC Universe, he's getting a pair of new creative teams, with writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Jorge Jiminez taking on Batman, and writer Ram V and artist Rafael Albuquerque coming to Detective Comics. Justice League #75 cover (Image credit: DC) (opens in new tab) While they exist in the same world, and in the same continuity and the same timeline, the question of where on that timeline the various stories told in each title falls remains somewhat up in the air and undefined. DC currently has a storytelling concept called ' Divine Continuum,' (a play on the publisher's own name) in which every story that's ever been told with DC characters exists somewhere in some way in the DC Omniverse, the publisher's name for all the various aspects of its concept of the Multiverse, its evil mirror the Dark Multiverse, and more metaphysical ideas that tie together into the larger puzzle of the 'Divine Continuum.'Īs such, some DC titles don't quite line up, continuity-wise - meaning that sometimes the events of stories told in the Justice League title happen before or after the events of stories told in Batman's solo titles, for example. So who's watching Gotham while Batman's off the table, and will DC cancel its Batman titles as well? 'Death of the Justice League' marks the end of the Justice League ongoing title and kicks off a story in which Batman and the rest of the team are dead. Nonetheless, one Justice League survives declaring "The Justice League is dead!", and the DC Universe listens.Īs a result, the Justice League title ends with issue #75, and according to DC, won't relaunch again for a while, with the League's death spreading out into the event story ' Dark Crisis (opens in new tab),' which deals with the aftermath of such a devastating loss.īut what's gonna happen with Batman while that's going on? Will he be replaced in Gotham City until he's potentially resurrected, as many superheroes are when they face death? Not exactly… How will Batman's death affect the DC Universe? Though they put up a good fight, all but one member of the Justice League are killed. The first DC crossover event that remade and rewrote DC's entire reality, the publisher has been undoing, re-remaking, and re-rewriting its events in the 37 years since.
DOOMSDAY BATMAN TV
It was a TV show about Superman’s early years.Facing off with the Dark Army, the Justice League is caught off guard by the power wielded by the Dark Army's leader, Pariah, who seeks to undo the death of his own world way back in 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths (opens in new tab).
The beast seems dead, at least for now.Ĭorrection: The original version of this story incorrectly described Smallville. But don’t expect him to show up in the August Suicide Squad movie. (Yes, really.)ĭoomsday shows up again in other storylines (thanks to time travel devices), including joining the ranks of the Suicide Squad before slaughtering them all.
Though he could not defeat the creature, he was able to use a time travel device to leave Doomsday at the End of Time. Superman took on the “resurrected” Doomsday in space. He returned to life too because-come on-he’s Superman. Doomsday, however, awoke from his slumber and survived (though chained to the asteroid). One of them strapped the apparently lifeless body of Doomsday to an asteroid and flung it into deep space. (We can presume from the levitating dirt above his coffin in the final shot that the Man of Steel will return just in time for the Justice League films.) After all, Doomsday is best known as the monster who kills Superman in “The Death of Superman.” The two characters confront each other in front of the Daily Planet building in Superman’s home city of Metropolis and beat each other to death.Īfter Superman’s death, four super-beings appeared, two of whom claimed to be the real Superman.
It will probably come as no surprise to comic book fans that Superman’s fight with Doomsday ends with his “death” at the end of the film.
