Manhattan then turns his attention to his own world, where he collects Rorschach, The Comedian, Adrian Veidt aka Ozymandias, Mime, and Marionette together. All the way up until his timeline converges with the Legion’s when “humankind will embrace the ways of Superman.” Superman’s timeline shifts again and again, each time arriving at the Kents farm in a rocket, marking the first time that world is introduced to Superman, or Superwoman, in years 2038, 2045, 2162, and 2965. Whether this series was worth waiting for two years will be up to the individual reader though it's interesting to see how an entire Watchmen show was written, produced and aired in the same time this series ran. Time will tell if any of these drops materialize into anything but Superman readers will want to see if his timeline will indeed be bombarded by the Old Gods. Uhhhh, would that be a green “hulking” behemoth? Is this Johns rubbing the genie’s lamp or is he planting the seeds of his work for a DC/Marvel crossover 10 years from now? Someone get Joe Quesada on the phone. Manhattan explains: “Every time there is a change in the metaverse, the multiverse grows,” and through every crisis and attack averted, Superman ’s survival will remain the constant - even if change is a constant too, because he brings hope to each world in the metaverse.ĭoomsday Clock 12 Cover by Gary Frank Photo: Manhattan explains that as the “Metaverse re-forms, time catches up,” and heroes from the past, present, and future return to bail Superman out of his current battle. This inspires Manhattan to travel through time to restore the metaverse as Earth divides into its first parallel in 1938 with Earth-2, then Earth-1985, and Earth-52. Starting with the return of the Golden Age heroes, the Justice Society of America, the inspiration for future heroes plays out, including Superboy, and eventually the Legion. Stunned by Superman’s act of heroism and realizing how key he is to the Metaverse, Manhattan proceeds to restore all that was lost by his acts of playing god, and the panels go black. With every justification to attack Manhattan, Superman charges at him, but instead fends off a villain attacking Manhattan, who was inviting retribution from the Kryptonian. Then Manhattan reveals to Superman that he was the person behind the disappearance of the New 52 Universe (as revealed in Rebirth #1) and was also responsible for the death of Superman’s parents. Superman is left to fight off the villains by himself. Doomsday Clock 12 Pg 17 by Gary Frank Photo: ![]()
