Is Jack Kirby's DC Bad Boy DARKSEID coming to film?

Hey folks, Harry here...   A long time ago, back during COMIC CON last year we had a trailer for BATMAN V SUPERMAN that had Parademons flying around:

And now EMPIRE Magazine unleashed this image with a massive OMEGA symbol...  the symbol of DARKSEID burned into the landscape:

Jack Kirby slipped this incredible character into the pages of SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN Comics #134.   I loved Jimmy Olsen.  Being a redhead growing up, being a kid...  and knowing that SUPERMAN's best pal was a redheaded photographer...  that was so cool - and I loved the Superman Signal Watch, but introducing Darkseid in the pages of Jimmy Olsen... that was part of what I loved about that book.   This issue has a cover with some BIKERS carrying the apparent corpse of Superman away under Olsen's orders and you'd have no idea that such an amazing character.

Right now - folks believe this is all dream stuff... and I don't KNOW if Darkseid is coming, but everytime I've spoke with Legendary Pictures' Thomas Tull, I do a bit of begging for DARKSEID.   I want a villain that can kick Superman's ass while yawning.   I want to see him bitchslap Superman and make him his bitch!   I want that whole grand DC COSMOS that Kirby gave us that just blew my mind as a kid - and we're getting portents of its cinematic possibilities...   Doesn't that give you a tingle of happy?   It does me.

Keep it cool,

 

Harry
