Summary
Darkseid, the iconic DC Comics villain created by Jack Kirby, is set to make his debut in James Gunn's new DC Universe through an upcoming animated series. The show, adapted by Tom King from his own comic, will explore the cosmic war between Apokalips and New Genesis. This marks a departure from the previous DCEU where Darkseid only appeared in Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League, as Gunn initially focused on other villains like Lex Luthor and Brainiac to establish his own vision.
