Rumor: DARKSEID is villain in ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ movie. Well. Duh.
Pencil this in as “fucking obvious”, friends. It is rumored that Darkseid is going to be the villain in the upcoming Justice League movie. It’s going to be great when people get Darkseid and Thanos confused, and/or begin to bicker over who is the less lame purple piece of shit big bad.
Spinoff Online:
According to Latino Review, Warner Bros. executives apparently realize they need a threat far greater than Lex Luthor or Captain Cold to bring together the likes of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and The Flash in Justice League, and so they’re turning to Darkseid, one of the mostpowerful beings in the DC Universe. (Starro the Conqueror undoubtedly will be displeased.)
The Jack Kirby-created conqueror of worlds is a logical choice: He’s so powerful that an alliance of DC’s greatest superheroes wouldn’t come across as contrived; indeed, the Justice League has fought him on several occasions. As ruler of Apokolips, he has a vast and interesting supporting cast, from the Parademons to the Female Furies to Desaad, ripe for small- and large-scale battles — Superman versus Kalibak! Wonder Woman versus Mad Harriet! The Parademons versus everyone! — and intriguing subplots. What’s more, Darkseid is familiar to an audience beyond the small comic-book fanbase; he’s appeared on several animated television series, ranging from Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show to Young Justice, and on Smallville, as well as in numerous video games.
