Strange things are ahead for the DC universe once “Convergence” wraps up. The ongoing Justice League title will kick off with a story arc titled “The Darkseid War.” In it, Darkseid will face off against the Anti-Monitor, his newly discovered daughter will also play a part in events, and DC also drops some pretty big hints in its official synopsis: “‘The Darkseid War’ event rages on as Batman takes a journey into Godhood and unlocks the forbidden secrets of the DC universe!”
Granted, we don’t know much of anything about the arc yet and there are a number of possibilities that something like “a journey into Godhood” could suggest. Batman’s been a lot of things in the past and becoming a god probably wouldn’t be any stranger than his brief stint as a vampire. Still, we don’t know for certain that he actually will become a god. Given its capitalization, Godhood could be anything from a state of being to an actual location within the unfolding story. Still, the image of Batman actually sitting in the chair is pretty telling.
If Batman were to undergo this transformation, he would most likely become a “New God” like Mister Miracle and Darkseid himself. Whatever happens to the dark knight in the pages of “The Darkseid War,” we’ll just have to keep speculating.
Just try and imagine what kind of prayers a BatGod would answer until the book drops in August.
