Embodied ideas\ outraced the death that is life\ "I AM THE NEW GOD"
#HAIKUPRAJNA - Review: "Final Crisis"
I had read "Final Crisis" earlier in the pandemic as my first stop in a Grant Morrison Batman-binge through to the "Convergence" storyline. In this 2008 comic book event, Morrison explores Plato and Plotinus's theory of ideas to define god-consciousness in the form of the anti-life equation, and through Superheroes as the embodiment of ideas.
A New God is found dead; superhumans are drafted to fix the mess; Darkseid hijacks the internet, turns humanity into a repeater for anti-life and submits the Earth to wage slavery and an eternal holocaust; heroes like Wonder Woman are possessed by just cognizing anti-life with Darkseid as their hive-mind self. Packed with great moments; the ultimate evil plan was achieved, all ideas and concepts including death, space and time are folded into a singular form, Darkseid, who proclaims "I AM THE NEW GOD"; Superman being the literal "enemy of all existence"; Lasso of truth chained the god of evil, bound his body, reverts everyone without hurting them; age of men as gods; Superman using the miracle machine (which "turns thoughts into things") to wish for the best, for a happy ending.
The good guys win in the end by outracing The All which is Darkseid because "Flash Fact" time stops at lightspeed. "Final Crisis" is a fantastic story that conveys its philosophy well through DC's cast, and closes with Bruce Wayne making Batman an idea to be passed down from paleolithic times into the modern age.
