The DC Universe is in the midst of revitalizing its cinematic scope, trying to catch up to the colossal presence of the MCU. Simultaneously, DC comics are advancing their traditional narratives with fresh twists on beloved characters and plots. Today, we dive into a gripping tale from the latest “Absolute” comic series penned by none other than Scott Snyder. ‘DC All-In Special #1’ delivers an unexpected twist to the long-standing feud between Superman and Darkseid.
In this recent issue, a major clash unfolds yet again between the two titans. However, the outcome takes a turn no one saw coming. As the story unfolds, Darkseid acquires the immense powers of the Spectre, elevating his threat level exponentially. With this new force, he storms the Justice League Watchtower, facing off with the Justice League, and notably, Superman.

The epic showdown sees Darkseid utilizing the Spectre’s powers, but not for long. Superman finds a way to disconnect Darkseid from the Spectre, thanks to a little magical intervention from Zatanna. This critical moment allows Superman to strike effectively, seemingly obliterating Darkseid in a manner reminiscent of their encounter in ‘Final Crisis’—where music was his weapon of choice. However, much like in previous encounters, Darkseid survives.
Here’s the kicker—Darkseid hasn’t just escaped death; he has also managed to forge a new universe where he reigns supreme, dubbed the Absolute DC Universe. His ‘death’ has also triggered a disturbance in space and time, accessible only to Booster Gold. This intriguing twist promises to set the stage for future narratives that could redefine the DC cosmology.
Scott Snyder, along with other renowned creators like Mark Waid, has crafted a storyline where Darkseid stumbles upon a crucial realization during ‘Absolute Power’. This epiphany propels him on a new mission, setting him on a collision course with a new and improved Justice League under Superman’s leadership. Snyder shared, ‘We’ve set up a collision that will reshape everything we know about the DC Universe.’
This story is not just another chapter in the comic book; it is a pivotal juncture that reshapes what’s to come in the DC Universe. The intricate dynamics between Superman setting up a formidable Justice League and Darkseid’s newfound quest promise a riveting conflict ahead, capable of altering the very fabric of their world. As reported by ComicBook.com, the anticipation for what lies ahead is palpable, setting the stage for a cosmic showdown that might just redefine the boundaries of heroism and villainy in the DC cosmos.
