Dark Crisis Announced

[Restingvoice]

This is a funeral. It makes sense if Steph is dressed up for that.

Plus Fitzmartin is a Steph fan.

True but since almost everyone is in costume I'd expect her to be in costume too

Cassie doesn't strike me as dated
Conner is.

So, has DC finally hit the absolute limit on the escalation of stakes? I'm late to this party, but they've decided to use the Great Darkness as the Big Bad of Dark Crisis, correct? The Great Darkness, as in that one-shot Swamp Thing character who was presented as the barely-sentient sum total of all primordial chaos? The Great Darkness who was a completely unstoppable force of nature on every conceivable level, able to be calmed only by the literal hand of capital-G God?

I'm pretty sure that's the ceiling. How do you go upwards from "omnipotent platonic ideal of anti-life"? The way it's being written now, you can't go any stronger, you can't go any more dangerous, and you can't go any more evil.

Well Pariah of COIE fame utilizing the Great Darkness power, but yeah that very same Darkness from Swamp Thing.

It's DC, we know in time they will always find something that happens to be a bigger threat somehow. No primordial darkness should be a match for a comic creator's imagination.

DC's Dark Crisis is right around the corner, and things will shift into overdrive after Justice League #75. The fallout from the death of the Justice League is going to be massive, and a new 3 issue crossover with The Flash will not only deal with the absence of the League but it will also deal with the search for Barry Allen in the Speed Force and whether or not he wants to be found in the first place, and we've got your exclusive first details on the event and your first look at two fantastic covers by Brandon Peterson, Michael Atiyeh, and Bengal right here!

Yeah this tracks, my next guess is Nightwing and Superman(Jon) crossovers

Wasn’t this supposed to be the plot of the Justice Incarnate mini? Lol
Hope this one is better.

[Stanlos]

I wonder if the Shattered God is behind all of this.

[Drako]

I hope that's not the case. In the previous solicits for Nightwing, they just started the "war of bludhaven".

In fairness they found Barry...it was just that Barry didn't want to leave and the team peaced out as soon as Pariah showed up.

I'm just making guesses of what ongoing's, maybe even some miniseries given events of late, will likely tie-in. It doesn't have to be immediate, just that in some time of the release schedule we will see it.

I think that series like Nightwing and Superman son of kal-el will tie-in given how much focus those two characters are getting in Dark Crisis. I'm thinking other very likely possibles are Aquamen, Robin, and Deathstroke Inc. (if not cancelled after Williamson leaves).

Less likely but still possible are Detective Comics/Urban Legends (those can focus on bat-family members with Batman gone), Swamp Thing (Great Darkness is a Swamp Thing villain), and I am Batman (not sure if Ridley is willing to tie-in).

Taylor said on Twitter that there wouldn't be a Fear State style "interruption" - but then, it might be pre planned enough that he doesn't consider it an interruption I suppose...

As sifighter says, though - we might get a "Dark Crisis - Nightwing And Superman" one-shot to cover their side of it. I'd say "Dark Crisis - Titans" is pretty much nailed on...

[Last Son of Krypton]

I think the Bat-books are going to ignore Dark Crisis. Zdarsky & co. will not bother to tie with the event and will just tell their own stories.

Yeah Batman doesn’t have to tie into anything, and a new run shouldn’t be forced to tie into an event right away.

I mean I could see Urban Legends having some storylines in it
