DC Comics: The Final Crisis!

Started by jumpmann101 pages

One of the villains in Teen Titans #58 mentions a "Dark Side Club".

I'm pumped.

😂 Perfect.

I think so. But first thing it reminded me of Fernus the evil doppleganger of MM.

I thought it was new character #1... but then I thought it was a powered up version of old character.

Then I thought it was Barry Allen.

Now I know it's not BA, but apparently you might be able to figure it out... according to Newsarama interview.

The last issue of AC actually got me a lot more excited about Legion of the 3 Worlds than DC #0 did. Can't say that it's got me much more excited for Batman : RIP because I'm already psyched for it.

Agreed. The Time-Trapper is one of the VERY few villains that come out so rarely, and when they do, it's such a OH SH*t moment, that they're just really threatening.

The weakest sounding story from all of DC #0 was the Simone Wonder Woman one- and I'm extremely pumped for THAT too.

This should be a fun year from DC.

It was like a mini version of when AM was first seen in Sinestro Corps. It was a less pronounced OH SHIT!!! They are soooo screwed.

Seeing all the cool stuff coming up has kind of helped me forget about Countdown.

Most of what was shown seems to point out that Barry is actually Libra or at least a connection between them.

I doubt that's going to be it. Although both characters were "one with the Universe."

The reason I doubt it is the reverential tones that Morrison reserves for Barry... with reason. Barry is pretty much the quinessential symbol for Silver Age Heroism, and this storyline is shaping up to be pretty much based on "ultimate heroism versus ultimate, absolute evil."

So unless Libra isn't doing what it seems like he's doing, I don't think it's Barry.

But I DO think they probably have a connection- like returning from their universal state to a human body. If it is Barry coming back (which isn't NECESSARILY true), then I wonder if it's permanent or just the fulfillment of the "I will return three times" thing.

What issue did the latest legion story take place?

Did you notice in that Actions Comics, that it makes Justice League volume 1, from the 60's, and 70's canon to Superman and Batman again?

Farther proof, that pre-crisis is canon to Superman.

The older Superman perhaps will return?

The lightning bolt and red quote[with a lightning bolt next to it as well] at the end of DCU0 though, seems to indicate a flash.

Yes, it was Barry that returned

Yeah, I was pretty confident in that, but the other Superman needs to return now. 😄
With he and Barry, the heros would have more of a shot.

When Supergirl looked into the future, she sees Spectre talking to/confronting Flash, Captain Marvel's cape ripped apart (followed by an image of fire) and a Supergirl (not sure if it's her) apparently being at a grave with an 'S' and I'm pretty sure at least one of these will play out in Final Crisis.

Probably CM's cape. Pretty hard to go through a Crisis without your costume getting messed up. 🤪

All the signs are pointing at Bruce, currently.
