I was watching American comic book short videos, and at the beginning, Iron Man was breaking down.

Chapter 108: A Darkened Superman is Terrifying? A Darkened Batman is Truly Terrifying!

Marvel Universe 199999.

Stark Malibu mansion.

"The fall of a god to earth as a demon is truly a classic topic."

Tony looked at the spoilers on the big screen and let out a sigh, but he wasn't surprised by it.

More than anything, I felt a sense of curiosity.

Without him.

Many DC comics feature stories and plots where superheroes fall into darkness and become supervillains.

Superman turning evil, for example, happens in comics.

Of course, it's not just Superman; Batman has one too.

The infamous Bat Who Laughs is arguably one of the most terrifying beings in the multiverse.

Judging from what he did, he is far more powerful than a corrupted Superman; he's at least on the multiverse level, isn't he?

Whether it's Superman's or Batman's turn to the dark side, they both seem inextricably linked to the classic villain, the Joker.

It could even be said that this guy was the one who caused it.

However, this is a scene from a comic book.

The numerous spoilers shown on the big screen have confirmed that the development of events in the real world differs greatly from that in the comics.

So Tony was genuinely curious: what caused the real-world Superman to turn to the dark side?

Judging from the spoilers on the big screen, it seems to be related to Darkseid.

That's right. Although Darkseid made his first appearance on the big screen, the irregular rays shooting out of his eyes must be Omega rays, right?

Therefore, there is no doubt about Uncle Da's identity.

Darkseid, on the other hand, is the ultimate villain in DC Comics.

Superman's primary and most powerful enemy, and also the Justice League's most troublesome enemy.

As it turns out, in the real world, these two are actually working together?

The way things have turned out is quite unexpected.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Tony was marveling at this, a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

In the spoiler shown on the big screen, Superman is seen holding a skeleton and weeping bitterly.

The skeleton was so unrecognizable that it was impossible to identify its owner.

But Tony suspected that the woman was very likely Louis Lane.

Although events in the real world differ significantly from those in the comics, the relationship between Superman and Lois Lane remains largely unchanged.

How did Superman in the comics turn to the dark side?

He was outmaneuvered by the Joker and killed Lois Lane!

Therefore, Tony thinks this is something worth considering.

However, Tony couldn't be sure whether it was true or not.

……

DC Extended Universe.

Clark's expression was quite something.

Shock, disbelief, doubt, worry, and many other complex emotions surged into Clark's mind in an instant.

"No, I won't do those things."

"I will not turn to the dark side, I absolutely will not."

After a long pause, Clark shook his head firmly and said decisively.

Given Clark's kind nature, what happened on the big screen was simply unimaginable.

What did he do up there?

Massacre!

The world has been destroyed!

Although the big screen didn't explicitly reveal this scene, the meaning was already quite clear: Earth had been destroyed.

He did it with Darkseid.

This was utterly absurd and ridiculous to Clark.

But at the same time, Clarke had already deemed the spoilers on the big screen to be credible!

That's why Clark is so conflicted now, unsure of how to deal with the spoilers on the big screen.

"Karl, of course you wouldn't do such a thing."

Joe Al immediately gave an affirmative answer, "Your mother and I have always firmly believed that you are a bridge between the two worlds, and that you will make the earth a better place. This is the real you, not the so-called 'darkening' mentioned above."

"But Father..."

Clark ultimately couldn't let it go; after all, the big screen had already revealed his descent into darkness.

"Karl, I know what you want to say."

Joe El interrupted Clark, "Yes, it's true that images of you after your corruption appear here, but those images are just illusions seen by that half-human, half-machine guy; they're not real!"

"That being said, why does this video also use the description 'Superman turns evil' in its title?"

Clark still couldn't get over it.

In fact, that's what bothers him the most.

All the scenes of him turning to the dark side are images in Cyborg's mind, not actual events. How could Clark not see that?

If that were all, Clark wouldn't be so agitated.

After all, who knows if it was Cyborg's illusion or something else entirely?

Something that resembles a fantasy isn't very convincing.

But the key point is that the video titles also have this bias!

This is what Clark truly values.

"Clark, perhaps you're overthinking it."

After some thought, Joe Elliott offered an explanation: "While we don't know what's going on with this big screen, the patterns in the videos on it are quite obvious."

"law?"

Clark raised an eyebrow, not immediately grasping what Joe Al meant.

"You've read the newspapers, right? How are those headlines crafted? Is it like this? Striving to be sensational and eye-catching?"

Joe Al gave a vivid example, which finally made Clark fully understand what he meant.

Clark shook his head and smiled wryly: "Father, these shouldn't be the same thing, should they?"

This is a bizarre and mysterious giant screen that can even predict the future!

How could it be compared to those news media?

But Clark never imagined that this was exactly how things would turn out.

"Don't overthink it, Carl."

Jor-El reassured Clark again, "You forgot that it says here that you ultimately died at the hands of Doomsday. That should put your mind at ease, right?"

Clark was speechless for a moment, then nodded after a brief moment of thought.

Joe Al is right.

The spoiler about his own death after Doomsday is completely opposite to the spoiler about his current transformation into a villain.

Since Clark died at the hands of Doomsday, how did he become corrupted and destroy the world?

Moreover, Clark fought alongside Batman during the battle against Doomsday!

But in the spoilers about the dark side, Clark killed Batman!

What does this tell us?

This suggests that if the dark turn spoiler is real, it must have happened after his own battle against the Doomsday.

After all, how can Batman, whose head he himself has removed, fight alongside him against Doomsday?

But if that's the case, how could someone who was killed by Doomsday become corrupted?

So that's right, the information revealed in these two spoilers is completely contradictory.

There must be at least one spoiler that's fake; it's impossible for everything to be true.

So, which of these two spoilers is false?

Without a doubt, it's the latter part, the part where Superman turns evil.

First, the spoilers for Incredibles vs. Doomsday coincide with some of the spoilers shown on the big screen beforehand.

There is a logical connection between them.

For example, Superman also knew that the green spear could kill Doomsday, most likely because Batman had used that thing to slash his face.

For example, Superman eventually found the location of the green spear, which also seems to correspond to the location where Batman ravaged him.

Secondly, the spoiler about Superman turning evil is indeed a hallucination that Cyborg saw for some unknown reason!

Based on these clues and strong evidence, the idea that Superman turned evil and destroyed the world is indeed not true.

After analyzing the situation to this point, Clark finally felt much better and regained his composure.

"But Father, even if this is just someone else's illusion, the fact that it appeared on the big screen must mean something."

Then, Clark spoke to Joe Al in a very serious tone.

"certainly."

Joe Al agreed, saying, "We will not ignore or belittle this illusion because of it."

The father and son then began to carefully analyze this spoiler.

"If I remember correctly, this is where it happened."

Clark recalled the entire spoiler and then quickly pointed out a key issue.

Having been here many times, Clark was quite familiar with his secret base.

Although the big screen only revealed the tip of the iceberg, Clark still recognized it.

And this speaks volumes.

Why were other people allowed to board this reconnaissance ship?

Even if the big screen reveals that Batman and the female warrior are his comrades and members of the Justice League, it doesn't mean these people can just walk into his secret base.

Even when I wasn't present.

This isn't right.

Something's not right!

However, due to a lack of relevant information, Clark was unable to analyze the specifics of what happened.

Besides that, the illusions Cyborg sees through the Mother Box are even more strange.

Because Joe Al revealed an extremely important piece of information to Clark.

"That guy in armor with beams shooting from his eyes, that's Darkseid."

Joe Al said to Clark with a serious expression.

Darkseid?

Clark was immediately struck by a thought. Wasn't this the ruler of Apokolips that his father had mentioned before?

More importantly, the Steppenwolves, who were driven out by Darkseid, will one day invade Earth again!

So why does Darkseid appear in the illusion that the half-human, half-machine guy sees?

Why would a doomsday scenario orchestrated by Darkseid occur?

What exactly did that illusion signify?

Clark believed that the vision was definitely not unfounded and must represent something.

Given the backdrop of Steppenwolves invading Earth, Clark was forced to make a conjecture:

Could this video be implying that Darkseid will one day invade Earth?

Thinking of this, Clark's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

This is not good news.

"And that cube."

But the bad news didn't stop there. Joe Al then revealed another bombshell to Clark: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Mother Box."

"A mother box?" Clark raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"

"This is a secret weapon from Apokolips."

Jor-El replied, "I don't know much about the specifics, but Darkseid conquered many universes with the Mother Box, which is a very dangerous and powerful weapon."

Why would Batman and his crew have Apokolips-related items?

Clark's brow furrowed even more deeply, filled with confusion and worry.

Steppenwolf invades Earth, a vision of Darkseid, and the secret weapon of Apokolips.

All of this, when connected, not only made the situation more confusing but also weighed heavily on Clark's mind.

Because no matter how you look at it, there seems to be a shocking secret behind it.

It is an undeniable fact that Earth is likely inextricably linked to Apokolips.

There is a real possibility that Apokolips will invade Earth in the future!

Wayne Manor.

The underground Batman secret base.

"I knew it, aliens are aliens after all!"

"We can't believe in aliens!"

Bruce became even more determined to stick to his previous cautious strategy.

Bruce knew that all the talk about him turning enemies with Superman into friends and joining the Justice League was just a lie.

Aliens will always be aliens.

They're not even from the same race!

How can one truly believe?

"Young Master Wayne, I believe you've already figured it out without me having to remind you. This story of Superman turning to the dark side is just an illusion created by someone else."

"And it clearly contradicts some known facts."

Alfred began to solemnly remind Bruce once again.

"I know."

Bruce nodded, not denying it. "But even if it's just an illusion, it must be hinting at something, and we can't let our guard down."

Afu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He knew his young master too well; he was always overly cautious and overly conservative.

Even if there's only the slightest chance that Superman will do something bad, their young master will treat it as if it were real and make all sorts of preparations.

Now that such spoilers have appeared on the big screen again, it will only make their young master more determined in his heart.

It's not something I can persuade myself to do.

After all, he and Bruce had discussed the topic of Superman many times, but he had never been able to persuade him.

So Afu was too lazy to waste any more words.

Compared to this, Afu felt it was better to analyze other things.

For example, what exactly were his young master and the Flash and their crew doing inside Superman's alien spaceship?

Why would Aquaman vehemently oppose it, including the spaceship's AI, while his young master remained steadfast in his support?

What exactly are they trying to do?

As for this question, Afu was thinking about it, and so was Bruce.

Unlike Jor-El, Bruce didn't recognize the Mother Box, but there was no doubt that their operation was related to the cube.

The Flash's rapid running seems to create lightning as well.

In other words, they're trying to charge that box?
