From DC's The Source..

Of all the villains being reintroduced within DC – THE NEW 52, none have been anticipated more than this one. He has not appeared inside a DC comic since early 2009 — DARKSEID!

Superstar artist and DC Co-Publisher Jim Lee brings his razor sharp design skills to the greatest villain in the DC pantheon. Originally conceived and designed by Jack Kirby, the King of Comics himself, Darkseid’s redesign has the Kirby motif all over him. Jim has taken what made Darkseid a fearsome foe from his original incarnation and provided the big bad with a 21st century design flair for even more malevolence.




As awesome as this pic is, he really doesn't look very different from the previous incarnation of the character. Not that that's a bad thing. See Darkseid cause all sorts of trouble for Superman, Batman and co in Justice League #4 on sale December 21st.

What's with everyone's new armored look in DCnU? Darkseid was cool the way he looked before. This sucks

A chest plate and a belt. Yep, they ruined him.

I like how Jim Lee paid homage by adding the right angle finger tips lol.

AlSimmons - 11/14/2011, 8:03 AM
Spiderneil, nope. Superman has invulnerable skin but not invulnerable ear drums?? Any way Batman finds to defeat Superman besides Kryptonite is cheap and only happens because the writers dumb down Superman's durability.

hmm....looks interesting

@ alsimmons

daredevil aside superman has the most sensitive ears on the planet right? therefore hyper sonic should cause major damage to supes inner ear, right?

okay if superman is uneffected by hyper sonics why is he effected count vertigo's sound waves?

Please do intruder, because this design is officially the thing I like least about this Reboot....I'm not one to bitch or Troll but this could use a nice fanboy rant. Way too much going on...seen better...

spiderneil - 11/14/2011, 8:10 AM
jim lee is usually rubbish at designing costume updates. his firestorm update was a frigging DISGRACE.

I'm fine with the look of the new Darkseid...

Too all haters...

thedude2936 - 11/14/2011, 8:13 AM
I like it, he looks pretty menacing in the design, plus it makes him look more alien.
Dynamo
Dynamo - 11/14/2011, 8:19 AM
He looks like he stole Blue Beetle's armour.
ThaMessenger07
ThaMessenger07 - 11/14/2011, 8:20 AM
He looks like a Big Closet Homo in costume at a Fantasy Fest.....just saying.....

airbeyonder18 - 11/14/2011, 8:21 AM
He looks like the new Anti Monitor
CrashTest
CrashTest - 11/14/2011, 8:23 AM
Yeah, Ive seen him look better.

the second photo that ThaMessenger07 posted is much better. Im not liking the new outfit.

I like the omega-ish shapes, but the overall feel is Apocalypse+Terrax+Darkseid's head. (Which is basically all you need. Darkseid has the most recognizable villain face after the Joker.) But why is his armor all cracked?
rbfn04
rbfn04 - 11/14/2011, 8:25 AM
@Dawnelldo too many elements clashing against each other. Too busy.

@Intruder i'm putting this ALL on Lee. Did you see his GL redesign? With them knee high wird Supergirl boots? Lee is stuck in the 90s...

@Superguy yeah, That design has nothing to do with the Omega armour Darkseid design you presented.

A bad design is a bad design... Get out of the 90s Lee!

Let's put armour in ALL our characters!!!!!!!!!

@ncreb he is, it's a bad change, tho...
