For anyone that cares. From the BvS Empire spread,

Thanks for posting.

In terms of Justice League: Part One and Justice League: Part Two.. I always envisioned Darkseid and his army of minions.

Now picture Darkseid, Granny Goodness, Kalibak, Desaad, Female Furies etc as all of the creatures and villains in Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit films.

Feel Darkseid's presence over the course of Part One and build up to him. Part One mainly is the preliminary invasion force, 100,000s of Parademons cascading on Earth. Kalibak and Desaad lead the first force in search of the Anti-Life Equation.

Part Two, after the Justice League defeats Kalibak & Desaad, the remaining invasion force and Darkseid himself descend on the Earth. Darkseid sends his Female Furies, led by Granny Goodness to take care of the Justice League while he personally deals with 'Earth's Champion' Superman.

Something like that anyway

I'm sure if we got that I'd be on board but you usually do that kind of thing for films that are separate by months or one year.

I personally feel we will only have so many JL movies so I'd rather have different stories/villains for each film.

I dont want Darkseid coming because of the beacon...I want his minions to have already been here, in hiding, searching for the Anti-Life equation. (which should not be the codex...that makes zero sense) Take some hints from Final Crisis and other DC stories where Glorious Godfrey is leading anti-hero/full on hatred style sentiments and so on. Maybe the Old Gods (Gods of Myth) had it on Earth or something but by its very nature it would not be genetic material.

I have always liked the idea though of Justice League 1 (which I would have called Justice League: Apocalypse but now would just call Justice League thanks X-Men ) having Superman being captured by Darkseid (as the league combats with Steppenwolf and the Parademons) and enslaved. The heroes are forced into hiding. Darkseid needs him to defeat Earth and enslave the people and gain access to the Anti-Life Equation. Justice League 2: is Superman leading Darkseid's forces to Earth (leading to another battle with Batman only this time way more brutal) only the league saves him and then go to Apocalypse and defeat Darkseid once and for all.

Yeah I know it wont happen, but damn it would be fun

No enslaved Superman please. I want the league working together. There's enough villains to battle; they don't need to battle themselves. That works to keep DC distinct from the bickering Avengers.

 

[jokesonm3]

Wouldn't mind a JL v Superman: Dawn of Good Luck lol.

I wouldn't mind if it was for like 30-40 mins of a JL film. The STAS episode(s) Legacy was amazing.

I'm guessing i'm in the minority when I prefer Darkseid to be 10-15 ft tall

 

[jokesonm3]

As silly as this sounds but how big is 10-15 ft as opposed to something 6 ft standing side-by-side?

imagine a 6'3" man standing next to a baby.

Wow. Even 10ft is way too tall against 6ft. Seven or eight is perfect for Darkseid.

 

[ernesth100]

Wait wait wait. That's what the Anti-Life Equation is? This wholetime I thought it was just a fancy name for a weapon. Like a bomb or a laser or something to make Darkseid stronger. Infact, anyone care to explain to me exactly what it is?

 

[jokesonm3]

Ok supposing that all members of the Justice League average at 6ft, then a 10ft Darkseid would be great.

But a 15ft Darkseid would be overkill.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

That doesn't make him imposing, it only makes him look like a giant.

The Anti-life Equation is the mathematical proof of the futility of life, and the only point of living is the chance to die for Darkseid.

I'm there with you. I always imagined him to be massive and imposing.

Math is power!

I'm not 100% sure these are accurate. I'm thinking about a PG in relation to a basketball hoop, and the 6ft vs 10ft looks really excessive. Maybe I'm wrong though.

 

[ernesth100]

Oohh. So that's what that is. Well that's something. It's honestly too bad I hate math with a burning passion.

6 is just over the halfway mark (at 5), so diagram looks perfectly fine.

 

[Zordan]

about 9ft is pretty cool.

Fair enough...just looks so unequal in my eyes. I think Darkseid couldn't be any taller than 8ft then.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

7 or 8 feet seems like a realistic option, he'd still tower over the league without looking too big

 

[Polux]

Hey, I don't know is this has been discussed, but I thought the other day about the Superman kneeling in front of Lex scene and thought...what if this scene takes place AFTER Supes and Bats fight and realize that Lex has been pulling the strings and at this point they're working together and setting Lex up?? As in Superman comes to Lex to confront him, but shows himself kinda defeated (or is affected by Lex's kryptonite) while trying to get a confession from him; Lex, thinking that he already won over Superman, can't help but boast and rub his genious on the kryptonian's face, all while Bats is recording him or something, and once he shows himself and him and Supes are like "Gotcha govnah!!", is that Lex unleashes Doomsday....

Excuse me if that wasn't articulate enough, it's late and I'm tired, I just wanted to post this before I forget it (I've been around for years, but rarely post) and I see it a plausible scenario...or maybe I just wanna see something like that happening...

If you Google it, Darkseid is said to be 8'9", but you might as well round that to 9' feet.

For reference, that's the height Ultron was in AOU and what Thanos is pegged to be at (basically Hulk sized), which I think would be fine for Darkseid.

9-10 feet would be the sweet spot for movie Darkseid.
