Darkseid hasn't been shown to defeat superman one on one. All of his attacks have been sneaky behind the confines of his portal. Also it was superman's first encounter with him and was/is unaware of DS's power level. Round 2 will go to superman.
Brutale wins this if they fight under a yellow sun. Will take longer for brutale to run out of juice.
^ I disagree.
When Darkseid initially appeared, he owned Superman and the League with, literally, a gesture:
One of his Omega Beams(not the standard two) also owned Superman:
And just before getting pushed back through the boom tube, Darkseid definitely appeared to be overpowering Superman and the League:
By all accounts, Darkseid was portrayed well beyond Superman... Well beyond any power on earth, really.

As his one-shot described: Superman did possess enough power to rival Darkseid-- most Supermen throughout the omniverse do, in fact(inc. E2 Supes.) That's why 'seid seems to enjoy killing Supermen in particular-- he doesn't like that so many beings exist who can actually challenge him.
And that sounds totally good to me.
They should make it where no one outside of a beastly team should be capable of hanging with Darkseid. The guy is suppose to be the most powerful being in the Universe...at least one of the most powerful being in the Universe. A single character should not be able to hang with him imo. During the PC days, it was like that, dont know why it is so difficult to put him back at those levels again.
Waiting for the typical "This looks like a job for Superman" to see how they are really going to place Darkseid. You all know its coming, its just a matter of how well Darkseid does as it goes down that will place him in the rankings. Honestly I'm worried now more than ever how Darkseid is going to do. Maybe not in the next fight he has with superman which might be some plot oriented withdrawal or something to that extent but the beat down Darkseid will probably receive at some later date. His build up has been amazing and I'm really hoping I don't get let down in some 4 panel superman sun-amp blood-rage murderstomp...

Yeah, Superman as a nexus being should be the only one capable to hang out with DS. And Orion if it's still his destiny. Every other Herald should be destroyed with ease.
Originally posted by carver9yep, I love how they are building up Darkseid(They basically put him back at his old team wrecker status) and all of the New Gods to beastly levels. I just wish that they hadn't have killed Steppenwolf (he was quickly becoming one of my favorite villains), they pulled a total Cat-man with him (he used to be a joke, and then they made him a badass team killer).

Orion and Superman has done well against him/beat him. Not saying its a bad showing for the character...I think I just look at Darkseid as this supposed unstoppable force.
Orion is a special case, so he doesn't count.
Without help, Darkseid beats Superman far more than the other way around. Superman beat him once, MAYBE twice in twenty years. All of Superman's most famous wins, he had help or PIS.

Looking forward to Supes and Darkseid's first real dragged out slugfest. 🙂

Damn, his Omega Beam completely tore through Superman. Ouch, I didn't remember that part.
Flash is more durable then Superman. Even Batman survived an attack that temporarily knocked out Superman. The only reason Clark got up before Aquaman was because he was furthest from Darkseid. excellent
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusAlthough it looks like he'd been hit, we don't know for a fact that Flash didn't dodge (or vibrate through) the attack. What do you expect, it's Batman we're talking about.Flash is more durable then Superman. Even Batman survived an attack that temporarily knocked out Superman.
