Final Crisis
In the same way that Infinity Gauntlet (which is being loosely adapted to the big screen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming Avengers:Â Infinity War movies) is about as big as events get in the Marvel universe, Final Crisis is about as big as events get in the DC universe and, as such, it would be awesome to see it turned into a movie in the future.
The 2008 storyline – which, like a lot of comic book storylines, would undoubtedly need to be scaled down on the big screen – saw the spirits of the New Gods (Darkseid included), fall to Earth.
In a nutshell, the event saw reality collapsing in on itself, as the universe prepared for Darkseid’s final victory – which would ultimately result in his own death. The New Gods all possessed human hosts, formed and gathered a supervillain army, ultimately regained their original forms (so yes, audiences would get to see Darkseid at his monstrous best) and ended up in a huge final battle with Earth’s heroes and their allies.
It would truly make for an epic movie event – which may require two movies to fully work – and would be a fitting finale for the DC Cinematic Universe when the time comes to bring it to an end.
