  • This is a video consisting of a compilation of scenes featuring one of Superman's most dangerous and infamous enemies, the ruthless God Emperor of Apokolips, Darkseid (voiced by Michael Ironside). This relentless tyrant gave the Man of Steel a run for his money strictly through his brutality, deceitful nature, and cold sadism towards making Superman's life as miserable as possible. Hope you enjoy him!

    I like how he doesn’t hold it against his followers for fighting over his throne and thinking he was dead. He’s like, “Oh no, I was definitely dead, your response is understandable.”

      I agree, especially because Darkseid is not physically massive (big, sure, but only slightly bigger than Superman so not giant) so he shouldn't sound Thanos-sized.
      The main thing you need to hear in Darkseid's voice is MALEVOLENCE. You need to believe that this is a being who has never been afraid in his life, who would relish the sport of fighting Superman while not for one second fearing the outcome of the fight, and afterwards will destroy planets the same way a sadistic human would pull the wings off a butterfly for the pleasure of watching it squirm.
      Ironside perfectly communicated that arrogance and cruelty through every word. I don't know if he ever voiced Satan (well, at least the versions of Satan that are badass and powerful rather than a sneaky loser,) but he would be absolutely perfect for it.

    • @Dante-vf4sd
      @Dante-vf4sd Před 6 lety +90

      I suppose it was silly of me to respond to a comment comparing two characters from totally different companies which is impossible, illogical and idiotic in most regards. My comment was more in response to a comment like yours which replaces Thanos with his DC counterpart Darkseid who is, based on their most common interpretation, at basic power level without any tech or power add ons his equal in an ish kind of way. in this regard my comment would make more sense.
      I make my comparisons as i stated just previously in this comment based on the most common given power set of all the characters rather than any one particular depiction. Of course we have certain random examples where all 3 characters have been shown ranging from fairly weak and easily defeated by weaker than abstract beings right up to depictions of all 3 as not far from supreme beings.
      Superman doesnt get one shotted by anyone bar abstract or truly cosmic beings inside his universe, not in a fair fight, the same goes for Thanos and Darkseid. They may get beaten in a fight, but all 3 are far too durable and powerful to be taken completely out with one punch.

And Darkseid manhandles Superman the whole fight, only losing because he was kicking Superman's ass so hard that he caught some of his own splashback. Now THAT is a final boss.

      No, I totally agree, Englund is pretty good too. Just that Combs had grown on me. When I heard it he was in the game I was expecting a reprisal, but his Brainiac works well. There are not too many actors that can make Scarecrow sound creepy.

    I like how Darkseid has such a simple design, and yet he has such a powerful presence at the same time. Just look how he stands most of the time with his hands behind his back: When you hear the term "Owning the scene", it feels like Darkseid was the one who invented the term. He ALWAYS looks like he is in perfect control over everything around him, and he usually has a very low tone to his voice, and he is veey calm and calculated most of the time, so when he gets angry...you KNOW that things are about to get serious...Ironside absolutley nailed this role, and I wish that he had more scenes as Darkseid.👏👏
