DCU in 2011: The Reign of Doomsday

Doomsday is coming back.
A few of you drew this conclusion from last week’s tease, and we’ll confirm here that the Kryptonian killing machine will return to Earth early next year - and you don’t need me to tell you that’s never a good sign for the heroes of the DCU.
Doomsday will first make his presence known this January in STEEL #1 - but I can promise you, he won’t be the only hero facing Doomsday’s wrath for long. The story will continue with:
Part 2: OUTSIDERS #37
Part 3: JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #55
Part 4: SUPERBOY #6
Part 5: … ????
“Doomsday is one of the most popular villains in Superman’s canon of foes,” says Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras, “He injects a feeling of dread and chaos into the DC Universe that few other characters can.”
In other news, one of the exciting pieces of news to come out of last week’s DC Digital Store launch is the launch of some amazing back list titles in digital format - including The Death and Return of Superman. And if you haven’t read those stories before, you might want to do it sooner rather than later. Y’know, just sayin’…

Please don't let Action be a part of this.

 

[Mystirious]

Cornell could make Doomsday

 

[Watchman]

I don't even think Cornell could make Doomsday interesting.

[TheCorpulent1]

I want Lex to get an orange ring again, just to see his body count in all its reanimated glory.

Kneel before Grodd

If we keep saying this enough times perhaps it'll come true!

Repeat after me, kids!

Please don't let Action be a part of this

I say in Action Comics, they kill Lex Luthor and have 4 copies take his place.

[TheCorpulent1]

The one with hair would be the obvious evil (or good?) one. The other 3 would just look at him like, "Man. How could you f*** it up that badly?"

 

[Tron Bonne]

Ah, that Doomsday thing will be in Superboy

Businessman CEO Lex,
Purple and green spandex Lex,

Cornell could make Doomsday

No one can make Doomsday awesome. No one. He's just a flat out boring and terrible character that was cool once and only had one purpose and fulfilled it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Kind of like how Deadpool was created as just a horrible Deathstroke ripoff that there was no way anyone could have done anything with

 

[Assassin]

i sense your sarcasam but deadpool is a worthless piece of ****.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, I wouldn't say that at all. I'm not a big fan, but there's been some good stuff come from him. My main point was that I know hippie is this super Deadpool fan who buys all the comic's he's in, plus variants, and he was basically a worthless character until someone came along and did something good with him. There's no character that's totally unmakable, none.

Do I think this will be the arc to do that, probably not, but still, in principle and all that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

So what I'm hearing is that you want Joe Kelly to re-imagine Doomsday as a black comedy character. Which, now that I think about it, would be awesome.

I would read that

 

[Anubis]

Doomsday breaking the fourth wall by acknowledging that he's a walking plot device....and that he's okay with that.
