Okay, then, who becomes the new Darkseid? Who is THAT badass?
Nobody, Pro. That's the fatal flaw. You can't kill Darkseid. There's no one to replace him or who poses that serious a threat to Superman. That's why this thing is doomed to fail, no matter how fun it is to watch.
Darkseid is overplayed and overrated!
Killing him off would be the greatest move DC has done in years!
Again, they don't have the stones to do it. The backlash would be hilarious to watch, and it'd leave a power vacuum. Speaking of which:
There are plenty of ways of replacing him, the main one being to upgrade someone powerwise like they did when Hal became Parallax.
Yes, because that lasted so long. :rolleyes Do you forget what happened there? They made a daring change, a bunch of fans whined like the little bitches they are, and DC caved. What makes you think things would be any different with Darkseid and/or whomever they tabbed to replace him?
I'm not arguing with your opinion. I have no personal stake in the Fourth World characters. I just choose to be realistic about the whole thing.
