>>102641323Stop him being a physical threat. Adaptions have been sliding into making Darksied a punchy invader man. Reverse him back into a leader, a dominator, a Tyrant of a pantheon of evil gods. He should never throw a punch, fights should be his minions, The Omega Beams, his intellect or unleashing aspects of the anti life. You can also do fun things with the Omega Beams moving around. People loved Mjolnir and Yondu's arrow.
Give him buildup. Make it clear that Apokolips is horrifying, terrifying and that Darksied is it's lord and master. Don't have him appear in the Scott Free and Big Barda movie, but have his tyranny still be felt throughout the movie.
Never let him be humiliated cheaply, like having fucking Batman beat him or being a baby. Defeating him should be the climax of a entire phase of the universe.
