| Wslem(is that you, Bill?) Its funny becaue I logged on here to see if someone could explain FC7 to me. Sad when you have to run toi Wikipedia to get more clarity. What may be of interst to many is that Darkseid didn't kill Batman. He ht him with his Omega beam which traps the Bats into the past(of course until some time traveller brings him back). But from Wikipedia, here ya go. In Final Crisis #6, the Flashes attempt to stop Darkseid before his presence on Earth destroys all of reality.[22] Within Darkseid's bunker, Batman escapes and confronts Darkseid. He states that he will make an exception to his "no firearms" rule and shoots Darkseid using the bullet that killed Orion. As Darkseid dies he fires the Omega Sanction (which traps its victim's soul in a series of alternate lives, each worse than the one before it), from his eyes and apparently kills Batman.[22] Morrison notes that Batman's use of the gun is symbolic as “the root of the Batman mythos is the gun and the bullet that created Batman. So, Batman himself is finally standing there to complete that big mythical circle and to have the image of Batman up against the actual personification of evil and now he's got the gun and he's got the bullet. It seemed to me to work."[23] Also, after seeing his daughter being enslaved by the Anti-Life Equation, Doctor Sivana helps disable the Justifiers so that Lex Luthor can take out Libra. At the close of the penultimate issue in the series, Superman returns to Earth from the 31st century, where he was given access to the reality-altering Miracle Machine by Brainiac 5 of the Legion of Super-Heroes. In a fit of desperate rage, Superman attacks Darkseid's bunker, finding Batman's charred corpse within. Barry Allen and Wally West, still pursued by the Black Racer, arrive to witness Superman's clash with Darkseid. Darkseid's followers unleash Omega Beams on the two Flashes, who outrace the beams and cause them to hit Darkseid. The Black Racer then claims Darkseid as he dies from Radion poisoning. The Female Furies clash with Libra's army of mind-controlled superhumans, who are now under Luthor's control. Wonder Woman is freed and binds Darkseid with her lasso, freeing the rest of humanity from Darkseid's control. Superman then builds a copy of the Miracle Machine in order to recreate the Multiverse when Mandrakk the Dark Monitor arrives to consume all remaining life. At the same time, an army of alternate Supermen from across the Multiverse, led by the Captain Marvel of Earth-5, arrives, followed by Nix Uotan who, in turn, summons the Zoo Crew (restoring their original forms and powers in the process), the army of Heaven, the Green Lantern Corps, and the Super Young Team (now transformed into the new Forever People). The battle ends when the Green Lantern Corps stake Mandrakk with a spear created by their rings. Superman and Nix Uotan then use the Miracle Machine to recreate the Multiverse as it was before Darkseid's ascension, and turn the other Monitors into humans and scatter them across the Multiverse. In the distant past, Anthro dies of old age after bringing fire to the people of Earth. Bruce Wayne, still in his Batman garb, lays his utility belt upon Anthro's body, and starts drawing a story on the cave wall.[

| Mark, Yes it is me. Haven't been able to get much reading in and posting for months (medical and a new job). But hopefully I can connect more with all my fellow comic friends here. Anyway, Thanks for the round-up. I should have just went to Wiki. Would have been cheaper for me too . And Speedy you are not the only one to think that was still crazy. Well I am with the others when I say thank heavens Battle for Cowl and Blackest Night is soon to come.
---------- USCG - Must always go out, but doesn't have to return.Yes, that is my daughter with Michael Turner. He was the greatest.

| There is a literary term called Deus Ex Machina. (no not the video game). It basically says when the protagonist is faced with the unsolvable, a machine or some miracle event happens or appears that solves everything. It is basically frowned upon because candidly, it allows the author to get out of anything without having to resolve it with clever story telling. So what do we have in FC7? The miracle machine. So, all of this resolved with Morrison using a miracle machime to recreate the multiverse.. VERY dissapointing

| It was like watching 1 minute of a movie then fast forwarding 10 minutes only to watch 1 minute and then do it all over again.
