DC's Countdown

Superman, Batman and the Justice League know about the New Gods because they’ve met them, but we’ve never really seen the New Gods in their full power before. We’ve seen their actions. The DC superheroes see the New Gods as other superheroes in the way that Orion or Barda can join the Justice League. They’ve never understood that what they really are are f---ing gods. This story’s about the first time Darkseid actually manifests on the planet. Everything we’ve ever seen before has been kind of projections from the world of the New Gods and for the first time we’re seeing them in their full power. And it’s like what would happen if a god appeared on the planet. Galactus is one god. This is a whole bunch of them—that’s how bad it is.

What’s the catalyst for this sudden appearance of the gods?

Spoiler:
The story starts with the notion that Darkseid has won the war of the gods and evil now rules the universe. That’s what the DC guys have to deal with.

Spoiler:
Superman crushed under the boot of Darkseid.

countdown will end with darkseid as the victor but FC will be him getting the shit batkicked out of him.

Sounds badass.

WIZARD:Rumors are flying that Batman is going to die and you’ve got this poster hinting that heroes are dying—do you worry about spoilers? How do you respond to these rumors?
MORRISON: I read a great quote the other day which said, “In the Internet, everything is bigger than it actually is in the real world.” Yeah, something big is about to happen to Batman—something irreversible—but it’s not what you think it is. The idea that Batman is going to die is simple compared to what is going to happen to him. [Laughs] Death is the least of it.

Are the regular folks in the DCU aware of the New Gods? Does a Renee Montoya know about Metron or Big Barda?
MORRISON: They don’t. They can feel the influence of them, but they don’t know about them. Superman, Batman and the Justice League know about the New Gods because they’ve met them, but we’ve never really seen the New Gods in their full power before. We’ve seen their actions.

Well this should be amusing.

The New Gods were compared to Galactus in general .. not Darkseid specifically who pretty much owns most of the New Gods relativly easily .. 😏

damn final crisis sounds awesome

Yeah, and I can't wait to see what Prime has to say uhuh

He'll probably fly in, call everyone "stupid heads", and proceed to punch everyones' faces off.

Oh Christ. Here comes the argument for 'Avatars' again. 🙄

So the New Gods were basically like the Celestials all this time? Riiiight.

Morrison is sounding pretty cocky about this. Can the DC universe finally get a rest from the Crisis events after this??

The only problem I'd have with revealing the 'true' power of the New Gods, would be if every loss one of them has endured over the years is in some way retconned -- ie. making said losses null-in-void because the NG's have always appeared as avatars, or some such.

srsly.

Other then that... srug

This is just months after Darkseid states in Death Of The New Gods, that Superman has power to rival his own. I guess he was just kidding - confuse everyone with the big, mysterious plan, right? 😛

Or maybe Morrrison just has a hard-on for DS, like Starlin has for Thanos.

Didn't Batman kill a lot of OMACs?

They're looking pretty impressive here.

Morrison is making an argument about why Darkseid should be so powerful, just because he's a God. But Gods are not strictly defined. What we in the real world consider to be God or Gods, in the comics medium would refer to abstracts - Eternity, Infinity, Kronos and the like. Beings who don't really exist in corporeal form( or contained in bodies of armour like the Celestials), and have omnipresent minds.
But, this could be about the idea of the New Gods being giants( like we saw of DevilLance in 52) and finally taking their real forms outside of the Fourth World.
