      this guy killed earth 2 wonder woman. i wouldn't call him that unknown or obscure. this guy started the whole war with new genesis and is darkseid's second in command/general. i wouldn't dismiss him that easily.

      I like to dream, yes, yes
      Right between the sound machine
      On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
      Any place it goes is right
      Goes far, flies near
      To the stars away from here
      Well, you don't know what we can find
      Why don't you come with me little girl
      On a magic carpet ride
      Well, you don't know what we can see
      Why don't you tell your dreams to me
      Fantasy will set you free
      [Chorus]
      Close your eyes girl
      Look inside girl
      Let the sound
      Take you away

      What?
      He’s a cruel, powerful (unless you’re Supes or above) god from a far away alien world. He is working to redeem himself for his failure of his initial invasion of Earth and regain favor among the New Gods.
      Yeah the CGI wasn’t very good, but that was a result of WB and Whedon changing his design so close to the movie’s release and them cutting more scenes. Originally he was going to try to betray Darkseid by releasing his mother Hegra essence which was trapped inside the boxes and they would work together to overthrow Darkseid.

But keep him the hell away from Green Lantern and Justice League etc, he's terrible at that stuff.
      What's much more interesting is that it looks like Bendis is dragging someone else with him to DC, someone he got to Marvel to begin with; Jonathan Hickman, the writer of Secret Wars, Infinity and oh yeah that Fantastic Four run Rob had a total geek-gasm on ("I regret nothing!") with the Disney buying Fox video.

    If that's the case, then Steppenwolf actually makes a ton of sense as a villain. Movie will come, Steppenwolf gets offed, Darkseid gets teased, and then we get more D.C. Cinematic Universe.

Didn't knew he was obscured as shit cause when I was listening to Benny's narration of Earth 2 Storyline it seemed he's a been tough yet underused character. Although he's more on Vegeta's level compared to Darkseid's Frieza, although counting power levels he's still OP.

    I think Steppenwolf is a stepping stone to the introduction of Darkseid against the Justice League in Justice League 2 depending on how well Justice League 1 does. Of course you know Superman will definitely have to be there for that movie.

    Steppenwolf is the buffer before they bring in Darkseid. This is how DC is potentially going to catch up with The Avengers.

    I reckon they made the right choice for main villain for justice league, as he is a character the writers can somewhat get away with being heavy handed with creative license, and depending on how closely they stick to the source material, have a way to link the film to any sequels involving Darksyde

    Hey Rob, if Steppenwolf is truly the nobody you suggest in this video, then maybe they're focus on Steppenwolf as the villain is justified. If he's the general of the armies of Apokolips, then him waging war on Earth on behalf of Darkseid would be the logical first step in introducing Darkseid.

    I honestly love this idea since he is an evil that the Justice League obviously needs to defeat in their debut movie. It would be a disservice for Darkseid to be treated like a throw-away villain, so instead we got Steppenwolf, a moderately cool looking guy who will pose a threat yet will be defeated anyway. I'm happy that they decided to save Darkseid for future stories.

    -Became Darkseid in an alternate universe
    -Fought the new gods all at once(and won the last time I checked)

    -confused about his ambition

      At least 2017 Stephenwolf was Treated as more of a Threat( Killed 100 millions of Worlds) Amped by a Fused Motherbox to the Point it took a Earth and Space Alliance to push him back.I would Say FlashBack Stephenwolf> Present StephenWolf Because The Present one never Had them Fully Sychronized and Back into One Motherbox which would have gave him a Massive Amp.

    could you do videos on who could use the power stone and/or the infinity gauntlet. I think it would be awesome to see who could use that much power besides Thanos it would be so cool to see all the DC and marvel charters who could handle so much power

    Great video Rob. I would not have used Darkseid personally, to powerful and huge of a villain to just drop in the first movie in my opinion. Granted i do believe the list of villains that could be used are more obscure that say your typical Marvel villains. Im actually excited to see Steppenwolf:

  • @awashington8447

    But you have to admit that it would be so call: A scene at the end where Cyborg is helping the others store away the Mother Box's when his Box gives him a vision of a single, dark hulking silhouette standing over a fiery landscape with his back turned? :O

    It's a great idea for them to use Steppenwolf as a villain. I was disappointed with the doomsday in BvS. Not because it was a terrible screen adaption (it kinda was though) but because this allows them to feel out a zesty way of introducing these villains and these plots. It's Superwoman in Justice League. Like I could swear that's what I saw in the trailer, and that would make sense also as why not? It would be a smart play, also allowing them to draw out the return of supes.
