Justice League – Justice League #6 by Jim Lee

Assuming that Darkseid is indeed the villain in the possible Justice League movie, I can’t think of a better poster than this to convince those who have never heard of him that he’s a threat that should be taken seriously. While he may look similar to Thanos – a villain who briefly appeared in the mid-credits scene of Avengers Assemble – Darkseid is arguably more ruthless and evil than the Mad Titan will ever be.

Even if it’s a scene which doesn’t make it into the movie, showing the Lord of Lord of Apokalips standing tall over these iconic superheroes (who are on their knees) is a powerful and frightening image which will go some way in proving that DC’s superhero ensemble should be taken just as seriously as Marvel’s.
