I really like how most of the sidekicks took up their mentor’s mantle in this story. Probably my favorite future for the DC universe. They introduced a lot of cool characters too
this seems like the perfect story to adapt as an absolute end, maybe one day far far FAR into the future we'll get there with the DCU but right now it's just fun to imagine how epic a Kingdom Come movie would be
In the Batman Superman World's finest, they showed the origins of the Kingdom come universe, when Batman and Superman of earth 1 were sent to Earth 22 to save Thunder Boy who allied with Gog and manipulated the other super heroes to believe they were evil. At the end of that saga Magog redeems himself and leads the new generation of superheroes.
For those of us who bought this as it came out, wow. It was awesome to see that kind of story and AR’s paintings. I had been collecting since the 70’s and was super excited when each issue came out.
Great info - I’ll have to check these stories out! BTW, why the change in narrator voice? It’s a good voice, but I was totally confused, expecting the previous voice
I think that could make a Kingdom Come movie in the actual days, but with the main difference that talk about how superheroes became more celebrity’s than hero’s and also that have a fake moral rather that the 90s anti-hero tropes.
Personally A kingdom come universe would fit today rather than most dc stories, its also has an ending compared to the never ending versions of other stories. What they could do is heroes become ambassadors and political figures other than celebrities.
So basically The Boys but instead of The Boys its Batman (Michael Keaton), Superman (Tom Welding or Brandon Routh) and an Old Generation of Superheroes (probably with a ton of Cameos from Older DC Movies and TV Shows for example Michelle Pfiher as Catwoman, Jim Carrey as Riddler, Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor ect) Vs basically Vaught.
Lifted my "Kabuki Kommando" TH-cam handle and avatar after this mini-series. I thought it was just the koolest thing I'd ever seen and I still do. Also, seeing as manga is so popular these days, the Kabuki Kommando was tapping into manga AND American comics to brilliant effect. The Jack Kirby/Fourth World angle was the cherry on top, of course. 👺✨🗡👺
Easily best work by Waid. Some of Waids work I hate, like how he had Victor Von Doom wear a skin suit made from Valeria, I’ll never forgive that affront. Kingdom Come is a classic, I wish Alex Ross could have done more then just the covers for Marvel’s Earth X as I really liked that series.
Great video; I guess there were too many characters to go into full detail with the characters, huh? Also, Ted Kord is the second Blue Beetle, not the first.
At this point I wonder what the in-universe reason for Captain Atom being allowed to fight high-level threats is in the first place, dude literally blows up half the times he appears
As a citizen and representative of the Pacific Northwest I requested an exchange of the Street Level Hero "Hawk Eye" for a Hero of equal or greater valve. I nominate exchanging John Constantine with Hawk Eye.
Well, in Action Figures I have designated the Kingdom Come style Earth as Earth 6. I have built 10 different Earth's, 6 of them are DC. I don't have enough Kingdom Come Figures so I put the ones I had, along with any Futuristic looking DC Figures. For example, Hunter Superman, Dick Greyson Batman working with Terry McInnis Batman Beyond, and Tim Drake Red Robin. I use the Red Son Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, Daughter of Steel, I have Blue Lantern Flash and I say that Barry Allen changed his name to Blue Bolt! I do have the Kingdom Come Wonder Woman, Jade, and daughter of Starfire. Basically I use whatever Futuristic looking Figures I can. For Villains, Devastator as the Kingdom Come Doomsday, Gorilla Grodd, Lex Luthor in Green Battlesuit, Indigo, and others. So I do the best I can to make a Earth 6: Kingdom Come style Earth.
I lost my copy years ago, (still pissed! Signed hard cover edition!), but if I remember correctly, the person you showed as Harley Quinn was actually was Joker's Daughter in the book.

One day a writer at DC will finally remember Captain Atom's powers are quantum based and do not involve radiation.

Old super-heroes: "YOU'RE ACTING LIKE EDGY IRRESPONSIBLE TEENAGERS!!!"
New super-heroes: "Ok, boomer"
I always loved the design of the old Superman from Earth-22. That black S logo is an AWESOME homage to the Fleischer cartoons of the 40s
this seems like the perfect story to adapt as an absolute end, maybe one day far far FAR into the future we'll get there with the DCU but right now it's just fun to imagine how epic a Kingdom Come movie would be
9:26 I love that it's just Chun Li from Street Fighter

Nice job for filling that out

The graphic novel of all 4 books has an extra chapter at the end
I totally agree!
It’s a great ending to a great story@@DCnez
I LOVE this art style. Have it as my wallpaper lol.
great video dude
Glad you enjoyed it
7:20
Love that adult Freddie is identical to Elvis in the 70's. Good detail 😊
I like how they took inspiration from the lead singer of Laibach for Von Bach.
yep
Yessss so excited for this video!!!
Thank you for your support
Cool video.
Thanks for the visit
Np
I really enjoyed this Superman in the main DCU. He took on the entire JSA and won to save a girl.
this superman was powerful asf and a bit more aggressive
@@jmgonzales7701 He was older and annoyed at the punk kids on his lawn!
@@johnnycage112 and he took them out of his lawn he did.
Great info - I’ll have to check these stories out!
BTW, why the change in narrator voice? It’s a good voice, but I was totally confused, expecting the previous voice
thank you. I feel hiring someone else to do the voice over would add a professional tone on the video :)
I love The Flash's design.
Cool dude 👍 love Kingdom Come.
Thank you. So do I

I totally enjoyed and loved this classic hit comic! It should be anime 3d one shot to hit comic classic book! Take Care and Be Happy! WF-😎🤩😍😉✌️👌

Just subscribed and I'm so hooked on your channel
Thank you
@DCnez No problem. Please keep up the great work. Never knew the nuances of these universes until I discovered you're channel
9:44 Zatara II! I love him!

I wish we had Celsius Tempest Robotman Negative Woman Lodestone etc too
Note: "Harley Quinn" is, in fact, Duela Dent...the Joker's Daughter.
Great video; I guess there were too many characters to go into full detail with the characters, huh? Also, Ted Kord is the second Blue Beetle, not the first.
@@SkidsandMudflapFAN3 DC should reprint his early stories because I'm sure that a lot of people haven't read them; I certainly haven't.
At this point I wonder what the in-universe reason for Captain Atom being allowed to fight high-level threats is in the first place, dude literally blows up half the times he appears
I never knew we got a Ross art sequel that shows humanity going into the stars?!
Technically it was more of a JSA Story than anything else, but it's still a good ending
I'm customising super powers into Earth 22 characters
I looooove the drama of Kingdom COme unverse
love it!
i Hope Marvel do make a story similar to Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come Batman looks like Jeremy Irons.
Ibn looks like Robert Pattinson.
I have the green arrow convergence comic
As a citizen and representative of the Pacific Northwest I requested an exchange of the Street Level Hero "Hawk Eye" for a Hero of equal or greater valve.
I nominate exchanging John Constantine with Hawk Eye.
one thing I would change about Earth 22 is the spandex
what would they wear if not spandex?
Yo creo que el universo de Kingdom come es posible futuro de la tierra de una tierra 2 con elementos de tierra 1/0
Ibn Al “Shufash” is probably a mistake that could be better written as “Khofash”. =Son of the bat
nice!
One of the best DC series ever.
Agree. I liked it too
totally

Can I see?
Tom Weiling for the older superman role.
oh yes That's a good one
Id like to know what happened to the other Green Lanterns. Hal Jordan, Guy and the others. seems like the only one left is Alan Scott.
7:51 is he supposed to be this universe Damian Wayne?
if so why is that his name?
What happened to the Green Lantern Corp in Kingdom Come?
I'm actually planning to redo this vid as I am recently discovering more info about Kingdom Come.
6..22..who is counting
It's so strange to see Alex's Ross's amazing art when the character designs are so off the wall goofy. I think I saw Sgt. Kabukiman in there.
N.Y.P.D.
they are using the kingdom come super man logo for super man legacy
yep I saw that too
@7:09 ew
This is the Batman who laughs universe
KC Supes is best supes
That's Joker's Daughter not Harley Quinn.
But man this is a great breakdown video.
Thank you
I lost my copy years ago, (still pissed! Signed hard cover edition!), but if I remember correctly, the person you showed as Harley Quinn was actually was Joker's Daughter in the book.
