James Gunn’s DCU Is Avoiding An Overdone Villain For A Good Reason
James Gunn casts doubt on the chances of Darkseid appearing in the DCU, ensuring DC’s heroes are safe for now.
Thanks to Superman and the second season of Peacemaker, DC’s franchise reboot is off to a promising start, with James Gunn building this new saga around Superman, including a trilogy of films focused on the hero and his allies.
Gunn plans to introduce the Justice League heroes at a slower pace, and is less inclined to reboot their fiercest adversary, Darkseid, who is essentially DC’s counterpart to Thanos in the Marvel Universe.
Darkseid is an incredibly powerful, nigh-unstoppable god, and has been a constant threat in DC comics since 1970.
