In the aftermath of DC K.O., the Titans are reunited.

All seems well as they reconnect at Titans Tower. The band is really back together! When some familiar faces crash the party, it’s business as usual. Nothing out of the ordinary superhero life. Or Is It?

In the end, only one can be King.

Darkseid’s return to the DCU sparked a challenge heroes have never felt. More powerful than ever before, the former Lord of Apokolips came back to claim another universe. A dangerous power held the key to his defeat, Extreme sacrifice was needed to acquire it.

The end has finally arrived.

With DC K.O. crowning its’ champion, the final match is set. Superman has been taken off the board. This leaves the Time Trapper in uncharted territory. The Legion of Darkseid looks to make a statement of their own. Superboy-Prime, a Superman robot and Lois Lane bring the fight to the evil Legion. There’s no easy way out from this confrontation.

Wally West is in a race against not only time, but the Speed Force itself!

Bart Allen’s attempt to stop Darkseid form ascending into his current form backfired badly. This resulted in a time-travel trainwreck of epic proportions. Darkseid has enjoyed watching this unfold and looks to put the nail in the Flash legacy coffin once and for all!

A traitor walks amongst “The Terrific Ten”!

As Mr. Terrific leads a time-displaced squad of heroes into Hell itself, the devilish landscape seems to have corrupted another good soul. Neron’s manipulations appear to have succeeded where others have failed. With no one able to help, Terrific must go this alone. The lives of millions rest on his shoulders.

Is this the Titans last stand?

With DC K.O. commencing, the team is scattered. Cyborg lost in his tournament match-up. Donna Troy and Arsenal were taken down by Grail! On Gemworld, the situation is even worse.

Four remain in the fight to become Absolute Champion.

Superman, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman and the Joker are the DCU’s last hope. One will emerge as champion but they will have earned it.

Darkseid has been waiting for this moment as well. Knowing that the tourney was commencing, he plotted as he possessed Booster Gold. The former Lord of Apokolips will not go down quietly. He has assembled his champions. A trinity of heroes in his dark, cruel world.

DC K.O. has thrown together some dream match-ups in the quest to become Absolute Champion.

The event has taken on a life of its own. At New York Comic Con 2025, a featured image was leaked, teasing more combatants were involved. This time, they would be from OUTSIDE the DCU. With the tourney down to its’ final four, many had wonder how this would all play out.

Batman has faced many challenges but nothing lie this.

After being eliminated by the Joker in DC K.O., Bruce Wayne made a back-up plan. The one thing he didn’t calculate was the Heart Of Apokolips was ready for his “prep time”.

It’s the end of the DCU Earth as we know it, and the only hope is who?  

Superboy Prime has been placed in a role most can’t believe. Selected by the Time Trapper, Prime and Superman fought off the Legion of Darkseid to retrieve Booster Gold. In its’ aftermath, DC K.O. happened. Superman went into the tournament. Prime was considered lost in time, but now he’s back with an unlikely partner: Lois Lane aka SUPERWOMAN?! Together, they are handling what has been unleashed on Earth.

DC K.O. has forced many heroes out of their comfort zones. One prime example is Jonathan Kent.

The Son of Tomorrow has been reeling since his involvement with the Secret Six. Stationed on the JL Watchtower, Kent is given one of the most dangerous duties in existence. He is responsible for watching over a group of super-powered children. This can’t go possibly sideways, right?

What makes the soul of a hero?

Mr. Terrific is finding out the hard way. With the majority of the JLU tied up with DC K.O., Terrific has been leading a group of time-displaced heroes on an impossible mission. Neron has returned in this time of crisis. Augmenting power of lower-tier villains has opened up more trouble than expected.

When a Flash messes with the timeline, it’s always a lock for disaster.

Bart Allen tried stopping Darkseid’s ascent to power by going back in time. His plan failed and altered history. Now Wally West is stuck chasing him and trying to stop more damage form being done. I’s not any easier when the Legion of Darkseid is involved.

The Titans might be Earth’s last hope.

With the events of DC K.O. unfolding, Darkseid’s return feels inevitable. Nightwing, Beast Boy and Raven are all off planet. Starfire is back on Tamaran. Cyborg was eliminated in his attempt for the crown of “Absolute Champion”. This leaves Arsenal and Donna Troy to hold down the fort.

The battle raging outside the DC K.O. Tourney is ramping up.

Remaining heroes are doing all they can to protect the universe. One leading the charge is a powerful Green Lantern. Kyle Rayner is doing all he can to slow down Darkseid’s Parademon forces. The cost seems too high as Rayner is drained from his White Lantern powers. In this moment, he is swept away to an even wilder fight raging on.

The numbers are dwindling, but the stakes are getting higher.

Darkseid is coming. The heroes of the DCU know this won’t be an ordinary fight with the former Lord of Apokolips. He has leveled up. So must they.

They have entered into a tourney to become Absolute Champion. The prize is the Heart of Apokolips. It will not come easy. Those entered know sacrifice is involved. It has resulted with friends fighting friends. Allies turning into enemies. Dark Horses sneaking in to steal victory.

Even in defeat, Batman finds a way to win.

During the “DC K.O.” tourney, The Dark Knight was eliminated by The Joker. His saga should have ended there. Implementing a failsafe, Batman wound up in a future imperfect. Dick Grayson became Batman. Robins were a unit more than any sidekick. Bruce Wayne was insane. After defeating Grayson, Bruce Wayne was moved to a Gotham ran by Jason Todd, otherwise known as Batman.

“The road to Hell is paved with good intentions”, eh?

Tell that to Mr. Terrific. With the heavy hitters of the JLU tied up with DC K.O., there is a void to handle threats. Terrific puts together a team of time displaced heroes to handle the problem. Little did they know this mission would take them to Hell. Literally.

Who is worthy of the crown of “Absolute Champion?”

That is the question defining the DC Universe. Darkseid is coming. After creating the Absolute Universe, he wants more! The heroes have faced him before but never at this level of power. There is one shot to defeat him, but it comes with a heavy cost.
