I distinctly remember before this episode’s release, nearly everyone in the comments was banking on Thanos to win. I think rveryone was coming off of the MCU Infinity War/Endgame hype. Don’t think people knew just how insane Darkseid was.

Santa is actually canon on DC Multiverse, he makes a HUGE effort to go pass Apokolips defences, without harming anyone, just to personally deliver a lump of coal on Darkseid's hands, Santa is a savage! Also, people on Earth make fun of Superman for still believing he's real, but he actually is! XD

I think my favorite part of this battle is that Darkseid's response to Thanos throwing his first punch is to intercept the punch with his face. Also, Darkseid spending most of the fight with his hands behind his back is a major flex.

A lot of people forget that when DC was rebooted in the 80's, Darkseid wasn't. He still remembers everything from before.

Thanos needs upgrades to be a God. Darksied had to Nerf himself to become one. That sums up the battle.

Darkseid pulling himself out of that black hole Thanos made is in of the single best moment in the history of Death Battle.

Darkseid makes Thanos look like a good guy. Thats how evil he is.

I believe Superman's singing destroyed Darkseid because he sang at such a high pitch frequency that it could not be heard. That frequency literally vibrated throughout reality and attacked Darkseid directly on a reality-level. It was a great moment since it showed off Superman's genius intellect (which most people ignore) and the fact that he is SUPER in every way possible, including the fact that his mere voice could disrupt the fabric of reality. Darkseid usually whoops Superman's ass 99% of the time, but this only worked in Superman's favor because he took a gamble and went to attack him directly in his true form. This didn't really BEAT Darkseid, it just kinda delayed him long enough to secure the next closest thing to a victory - kicking him off the main reality and saving the survivors of his invasion.

Darkseid only threw a punch at the very end. Other than that, he had his hands behind his back (besides using his powers or holding Jupiter back). He also crushed the Infinity Gauntlet in his hand when he won.

Some small things they got wrong and misinterpreted is the fact that Darkseid didn't become tyranny, that just comes with what he is. He became the god of evil, he is the very concept of evil itself. It's not so much that superman sang Darkseid to death, but rather superman calculated Darkseid's vibrational strings and sang a counter note to cancel them out. It's weird and complicated and has to do with string theory but that's what was happening. And that was after Darkseid had been fatally wounded by his son Orion, shot by that radion bullet and had his soul taken by the black racer(new god grim reaper). The Imaginary Axis has a two part video on the nature of Darkseid if you two wanna check them out, though they are long! Both about a half hour but they're very good in explaining who and what he is. Lastly, believe it or not, Darkseid is currently even more powerful in the comics then he was when this video was made!

"oh my god, it's Deadpool with a gun!" is the best line in Death Battle

Its when that one badass ant who has lived long enough to see many things in a lifetime, gets cocky and challenges that one human it sees, think of that and you can contemplate how insignificant Thanos is to Darkseid. Well.....that also sums up what happened to that soldier red ant that challenge me yesterday.

The Best Darkseid moment was from the Superman animated series. Superman defeated Darkseid and gave him to his subjects telling them to do with him as they please. Thinking the slaves would kill Darkseid he was shocked to see them carefully help him and carry him away calling him master. As they carry him away Darksied makes them stop and tells superman " I am many things Kal-el but here I am God"

The thing is Darkseid's true form is a higher dimensional being. Unless I'm mistaken the Infinity Gauntlet can't affect anything on that dimension. So even if it somehow worked in Darkseid's realm it wouldn't do anything.

Darkseid is one of my favorite villains in DC, and just to clarify one thing and I hope I’m not the only one who thinks this,number 1. I like Zack Snyder and Zack Snyder’s Justice League,but the entire reason why I support Zack Snyder and the SnyderVerse is because I want to see more of Darkseid.and I want to see more DC comics characters to make a live action debut.

Darkside is just OP and that mostly goes for all of the DC Hero’s. I love both Marvel and DC but I’ve grown up knowing more DC than Marvel and it’s just crazy how strong They have come through out the years

Darkseids greatest ability, tolerating Deadpool’s antics.

Actually, Duodecillion is 100% a real number. It's a 1 followed by 39 zeros. So, yeah. Really big.

Hands down one of the Top 3 Death Battles. And yay for both picking the clear winner! Cheers!!🎉😁

Fun fact whenever Deadpool shows up in Death Battle, he's voiced by Takahata101, who you just heard in your DBZA reactions as Nappa (he plays many characters in that series too including Guru and Cell but you haven't gotten there yet).

Glad, you guys like it so much. I know you guys were already requested about these two but ... Watch Saberwulf vs Jon Talbain first & then DIO vs Alcuard in October you may hear that they were hinting DIO vs Alcuard

Darkseid is such a cool villain! He is and always will be in my top 3 DC big villains. (There are smaller villains with less world ending stories that I prefer. Like Mr. Freeze or Manbat) My number 1 will always be Doomsday though. There is a death battle with Doomsday vs Hulk. That one is really good too

The golden helicopter apparently is a helicopter that Thanos has flown around a few times

The same man created both Darksied and Thanos (in that order) Jack the King Kirby, famously when he left dc comics to work for marvel they asked him to create a Darksied character for them.

Believe it or not a similar endless death exists in JoJos Bizarre Adventures as a result of fate and a losing battle and its honestly more horrific because it implies through its course that there's no possible way in the human body to become accustomed to the complete randomization of torment within the few consecutive deaths shown. JoJo has brutal villain deaths but this is arguably the most extreme for a reason and Araki, the author, says its okay because it fits thematically as well as an endgame lesson to the villain. I get much of it but damn. For even the author to stick to his guns on that one is definitely hardcore if you know the source. Cause it ain't even living. Its the EXACT minutes of death and its a lot for such a small scale.

I wish there was a compilation of all their CGI fights, and this is probably one of my most favorates.

This wasn't a fight, it was an execution.

I feel like Darkseid has that same thing that Dr. Doom has, where they are so powerful that they really shouldn't lose vs who their main nemesis is. But if they win that's the end of the series so something always happens for them to screw up in some way. Side note, there was an animated universe they made in the mid 90s (Superman: The Animated Series, Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited ect. ) that had some of the best writing for DC. But in that Darkseid was the 1 guy Superman, the mega boy scout wanted straight up dead. I feel like when you're so cruel that the nicest guy on Earth what's to kill you out of pure spite you're doing evil proud.

So in DC the multiverse is separated through vibration. Superman’s singing was at the perfect pitch to disrupt Darkseid’s form. (And then DC rebooted and Darkseid came back)

You know there is a most funniest Death Battle, The Mask vs Deadpool 😂.

Yaay I’m getting Notifications for this, I’ve missed you guys 😁

here's a fun little scene from the infinity gauntlet event that i just love. after creating the IG, thanos wants to finally become lady death's lover. but death wouldn't speak to him directly. instead, she only spoke to him through a zombie servant. when asked why she did this, the zombie told thanos that he was so low on the cosmic totem pole that he was unworthy of her direct attention and thus he didn't have the right to speak to her directly. so thanos showed off how powerful he was by doing "the snap". after the snap and showing off just how powerful he had become, he asked to speak with death again. and again, the zombie said he couldn't. the reason this time? because thanos had become so friggin powerful that he was now above her in the cosmic totem pole and thus, death felt SHE wasn't worthy of his attentions and thus she didn't have the right to speak to him directly. so thanos was boned. and not in the way he wanted.

Hm, okay at this point, the Death Battles that i would really like to see you react to next is: Iron-Man vs Lex Luthor Solid Snake vs Sam Fisher Chuck Norris vs Segata Sanshiro Goku vs Superman 2 Captain Marvel vs Shazam Robo-Cop vs Terminator Yoda vs King Mickey Hercule Satan vs Dan Hibiki Deadpool vs Pinkie Pie Deadpool vs The Mask Hercules vs Sun Wukong I can’t wait for you to see any one of these.

If you want more Darkseid, the animated movies Superman/Batman: Apocalypse and Justice League War are pretty good, War less so.

Was not suprise with the outcome as Thanos more often needed other power sources where as darkside was always a monster

The thing about Superman's power is this, even tho he gets his powers from yellow or blue sun rays it doesn't go away quickly if he's around a red sun. It takes time for his powers to deplete.

Yeah, to truly defeat Darksied you effectively need another god that has exceeded the limits of gods… not a large pool to start with and when you realize that the others that have done the same are almost all crazy, evil, destructive, or just unwilling to help… the options narrow down to… practically none.

Fun Fact: In Superman The Animated Series and both Justice League and justice League Unlimited Darkseid is voiced by Michael Ironside. The same guy who voices Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell games.

"I have turned 100,000 worlds to dust looking for Anti-life, looking for those who robbed me of my glory. I will stride across their bones and bask in the glow of anti-life" Darkseid Zack Snyder's Justice League

My favourite Death Battle of all time. Hopefully Doctor Strange vs Doctor Fate next. By the way, the New Gods saga is one of many of the inspirations for Star Wars. The Source = The Force. Darkseid = Dark Side, etc.

here's a fun fact about Darkseid: Jack Kirby, of Marvel fame, quit working for Marvel and moved to DC (the company, not the state) and created Darkseid. he actually based Darkseid from a certain austrian dictator who tried to beome a painter but instead chose a different route when he wasn't accepted into the art university. i'm of course talking about Hitler. because Jack Kirby in his younger days actually was in the second world war and fought the nazi's. Darkseid actually has several similarites with Hitler himself, though it's too many to talk about for me. :)

Thanos needed the Infinity Gauntlet/Heart of the Universe/Cosmic Cube/Astral Regulator to be a god Darkseid already was a god without those objects. Suggested Death Battles: Doctor Strange vs Doctor Fate Iron Man vs Lex Luthor Iron Man vs Batman Ghost Rider vs Lobo Doctor Doom vs Lex Luthor

Also loved how Darkseid just had his hands behind his back like "Bro? you're telling me you're a challenge?"

Another Death Battle you might like is Omni-Man vs. Homelander.

If the first thing someone does in a fight is throwing their head against your punch and calmly holding their hands behind his back… then you’re dead

Its been over BEFORE the match even started 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Darkseid is Overpowered

This is a really great one.

Easily one of the coolest Death Battles. As for future suggestions: Solid Snake vs Sam Fischer Goku Black vs Reverse Flash TJ Combo vs Balrog Zatanna vs Scarlet Witch Machamp vs Goro Boba Fett vs Predator

Great reaction

I like how Ken has a thought out reason for who he thinks is gonna win and Bethany always chooses with her feelings 🤣

Thanos, when you want to impress a girl with some bling, you give them too her.

Best part is this for me back in the day was I was raised in a dc an marvel family so watching this with my mcu fan friends 😏knowing full well how this ends.

There are alot more characters more powerful then Darkseid in DC comics.

Him: It's gonna end with Darksied sitting in Thanos' chair The fight: _Begins with Darksied sitting in Thanos' chair_ Me: He was right.

So the bit about Darkseid liking to sit on other people's chairs is because half the time when he shows up, he does it by waiting in somebody's home and sitting on their furniture. This happens so frequently there's an entire tumblr blog dedicated to it.

Hey you two'z. Still waiting on the Bricky's 40k video on which army you should start with. But I think you should add the History of Blood Omen and Legacy of Kain to your viewing lits.

You guys are awesome 😎

There's unique dialogue for who goes against who in Multiversus, apparently it's almost a whole hour to watch all of them, but hey, it's definitely nice hearing each and every cartoon character roast each other, even where Arya Stark tells Shaggy that food is not a weapon (Shaggy has an ability where he pulls a sandwich out from the ground and can throw them at people), I think you'd enjoy it!

This was my fav episode because of the theme

Anti monitor is probably the strongest DC character being one of the few to actually kill darkseid. You should check out some content on him out if there is any

THE STREAK HAS BEEN BROKEN!!

Thanks for my request 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Infinite frontier Darkseid form is so powerful that he defeated the whole quintessence which includes 7 beings who can destroy multiverses with a single thought. Also in the crossover comics Darkseid threw the infinity gauntlet calling it worthless as it only works in its own universe. Also only Darkseid's avatars have died that have less than a percent of his true power his true form has no weakness

Other Death battles you both should watch. Shao Kahn Vs Akuma (street fighter) Omni man (invincible ) vs Homelander (The Boys) Dante from (Devil may cry) Vs Bayonetta from (Bayonetta) Scorpion vs Ryu

I feel like at this point you may as well keep a tie tally. XD

I've wanted to create a character with the ability to manipulate reality with something of a "telekinesis" kind of name. Metakinesis, omnikinesis, parakinesis, something.

Fun fact: in a crossover comic Galactus the world eater arrived on Darkseid's planet to suck up the life energy of the planet to feed himself. During this encounter, he used his omega beams on Galactus and they didn't do anything to him. In a Thanos comic, Thanos used his eye beams on Galactus and knocked him back and off his feet. Galactus was around the same level of hunger in both comics I believe. Course, this is just a fun comparison and doesn't effect the fight but I thought it was fun all the same

This one Death Battle where I felt like Death Battle wasn't just picking favorites because let's face it sometimes they do but not in this case, they were spittin straight facts. I don't know if y'all seen this voting poll lately but question was asked "who would win a fight Darkseid or Thanos" and the poll voted Thanos solely due to the MCU when I looked at the comics I started laughing my 🍑 off because all you seen were people calling the MCU fans out because they simply still think that Thanos snapping Darkseid would work🤣.

Superman never *killed* Darkseid by "singing." Superman and Brainiac traveled to the end of time to glimpse the Miracle Machine responsible for everything that ever existed. They returned and built their own Miracle Machine in their prime universe to crystalize and trap True Form Darkseid in place. Superman had to produce a sonic frequency to shatter the frozen Darkseid. Even then, they only removed him from the prime universe and sent him back to Fourth World. Nothing can truly 'kill' Darkseid because he's the living concept of evil and tyranny. He's an idea intrinsic within the DNA of all existence. The only way to 'kill' Darkseid would be to construct a new universe where evil doesn't even exist in the first place. Darkseid is more of a living concept than a comic book supervillain, honestly. He's somewhat incomprehensible.

The Thanos copter was a comic thing. Thanos used in in the older comics.

29:29 Officially it wasn't really that he sung but the vibration he echoed, if I recall correctly Batman had mortally wounded Darkseid with a radion bullet but was "killed" then the two Flashes finished the job by outrunning death itself and leading Death to the weekend Darkseid destroying his physical presence. Darkseid however clung to the universe through an ethereal presence trying to sow doubt into Superman whom was working on their last ditch attempt at stopping the evil Monitor Mandrakk, Superman however finds the frequency of Darkseid's soul and echoes it back at him to sever him completely and finishes the miracle machine making one single wish that is sort of revealed but not really(you have two monitors in the end speculating what he wished for and one says "He's Superman he simply wished for a happy ending for all of us").

Love the vid! Dante vs bayonetta next?

Darkseid is absurd. Like actually. He nearly destroyed the entire Multiverse by FALLING on it.

I think you guys should check out Shadow Vs Ryoku

Next time on DNF Z. Will the prince of Asgard beat Vageta? Will Vageta's ego grow bigger then his hair? Find out on DNF Z.

Day 187 of still waiting for a Megaman Death Battle Royale reaction. No pressure or anything!

Strangely, to find a match for ridiculous entities like Darkseid, you gotta think outside the box. ... For instance, Squirrel Girl. She may be piss weak on paper in terms of actual powers, but she has the greatest power of all: plot armour. She wins because the writer of the comic she's in decides she wins. That girl has more plot armour than Superman, and that is some nonsense level of ridiculous.

This is still a fun Battle, and I understand that Darkseid locked Thanos in the Omega Sanction, but really the final blow was just a simple gunshot, kinda anti climactic

You ought to watch Magneto vs Tetsuo.

Bethany hasn't seen Fight Club? Who's up for a movie night?! I'm far overdue for a rewatch myself!

The music is amazing. Death Battle does amazing work with music. I wanted Thanos to win but he didn't. By the way there is Boba Fett vs Predator.

Fun Fact: In Marvel Comics there is a weapon far stronger than the infinity stones that Thanos once used called "The Heart of the Universe" which granted him omnipotence. And if he had that he could have easily destroyed Darkseid's true form. And it obviously would have been game over if they allowed Thanos to have that during the battle.

The most impressive thing is that Thanos made Darkseid take his hands away from his back. Also I suggest Omni man vs Homelander next.

U should check out the red hood vs winter soldier death battle

ah. my 2 halves fighting. i remember this one. didn't care who won as either way i was winning.

weirdly enough not the biggest stomp matchup deathbattle has done

Great reaction, idk why but I thought Thanos was gonna win only cause I watched it around the time it released. Also, I highly recommend checking out RackaRacka's Marvel vs DC vid. It's really funny and it's INSANE how intense it gets.

When are you reacting to Mai Shiranui vs Chun-Li deathbattle

Flash vs quicksilver cool too

You should really check out more Epic Rap Battles, like Al Capone vs Blackbeard, Shaka Zulu vs Julius Caesar, and Richard the Lionheart vs Ragnar Logbrok.

Darksied once “killed” Batman with his omega beams

the imaginary axis who did the dark gods of the dc universe (which you guys reacted to) also did a two part video on darkseid, so if you are interested check it out. Part 1:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b891ird53-Cnhps.html&ab_channel=TheImaginaryAxis Part 2:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMl6a7Se1M3TiI0.html&ab_channel=TheImaginaryAxis

Hey guys didn't thought you're going to react to this death battle about thanos vs Darkseid, if you guys interested to know more about darkseid you should react to "The Imaginary Axis" he explained what Darkseid really is in some degree on the surface and below the surface.

When are you going to finish the devil may cry

It’s funny cuz the only people who thought thanos would win were the people who didn’t know who/what/where darkseid actually was

I am writing this to help out ken and Bethany and this video and this channel with the algorithm ✌️❤️😚☺️

I realize I'm hella late to this party, but just to clarify two things that you guys were talking about toward the end. The reason Darkseid can and is beaten by Superman and/or the Justice League (on various occasions) is because Darkseid doesn't want to kill everyone. Darkseid's ultimate goal is to create a perfect multiverse (whatever that means to him) with himself as the supreme ruler and everyone else as his slaves. So he wouldn't ever use his Fourth World powers to just kill Superman or even an entire universe. Specifically, in the case of Superman, it's almost a pride thing, sorta similar to why Goku didn't take advantage of the Kryptonite in their Death Battle. Darkseid wants Superman to kneel before him, so even when there have been times where Darkseid had Superman at his mercy, he doesn't kill him because that's not what he wants. Darkseid is also what I like to call a "reasonable villain". He will often work alongside the League or other heroes and villains in the pursuit of a common goal, because from his pov, he WILL live forever so there isn't exactly a rush on finding the Anti-Life Equation and subjugating the multiverse. Darkseid is also weirdly honorable when it comes to keeping his word/deals he makes. Like when Batman makes him promise to leave Supergirl alone (I won't go into it cause I don't wanna spoil that particular story). But Darkseid could have easily crushed Batman and instead decided to just take the L and make a deal. Darkseid also cares about Apokolips and the New Gods of his kingdom. Not a lot, but he won't just sacrifice everything for the sake of victory. So there are a lot of factors they don't really go into in this video that explain why Darkseid hasn't just killed everyone and called it a day. Also, it's kind of important to realize that Superman eventually does become so powerful that not even the entropic nothingness that ended all of existence at the end of time itself could erase Superman. Superman literally survived the end of everything and started over with a brand new existence. Now that's a very specific version of the character and its not technically canon but the story basically explains it like "this is a realistic potential end to Superman's story even though it hasn't ever happened in canon before". Lol I got a little carried away with that first part. Oh also, Darkseid almost never reforms his avatars as quickly as he did in this video. Im not sure if they ever explained why that is in comics but it just doesnt happen that way. So usually if Darkseid is "killed" he stays that way for at least a little while. The important second part though, which I saw some people already mentioned so sorry if this is repetitive, is the fact that Superman's ability to gain power is ridiculously disproportionate to his weaknesses ability to drain his power. For example, Superman being exposed to a normal amount of sunlight, like as much as he would absorb just standing still on Earth, for like 10 seconds will power him all the way to his normal (current) base power level. And if he were to then immediately leave and go to some pitch black part of Space with no stars it would take days, if not weeks, before he even came close to his powers being drained. Another example would be how Kryptonite works on him. If Superman is exposed to kryptonite, even a ridiculously large chunk of it, like the size of boulder, it would take days of him sitting basically right next to it for it to completely drain his powers and subsequently kill him. Whereas like 10 seconds after the Kryptonite is removed or he gets away from it he will be back at full power in like one minute. His ability to retain and regain his powers is ridiculously more powerful than anything that takes his power away. I mean even that Solar Flare power they mentioned in the Superman v Goku 2 video was basically retconned because Superman never uses the ability because it doesn't make sense. Like why would he need 24 hours to absorb sunlight when that's literally never been the case ever. But that was New 52 Superman and New 52 Superman was hella weak compared to his other iterations. So yeah, Darkseid can't just take Superman somewhere else and make him instantly weak. It doesn't work that way lol. Also Superman has some ridiculously op plot armor. Not just from a writing perspective like "oh he is Superman obviously he has to win". It was revealed by Doctor Manhattan and the World Forger (I'm pretty sure it was the World Forger) that THE Superman of Earth 0, the canon Superman, is basically a paragon of existence and because of that, no matter happens, Superman will be able to obtain whatever God level power needed to overcome evil or to prevent the total annihilation of existence. I mean most recently Superman was killed by Pariah, who was wielding the power of the Great Darkness (who is basically the big bad final boss of the entire DC Multiverse and makes Darkseid seem like a child) during Dark Crisis and his soul was trapped in this prison universe specifically tailored to make him happy and not want to escape and he realized he was in a fake world in like 2 seconds and then just manifest his own Cosmic energy literally out of the sheer belief that his teammates would all reunite and when they did he just straight up overpowered Pariah's Great Darkness abilities and helped take them all home to their true reality. Not to mention Superman literally has become a real God before in canon, and not just in some future storyline. Lmao sorry I got carried away again. I like how invested you guys were in this and other Death Battle reactions. Actually paying attention and thinking about all the information doled out.

So how it breaks down in Ultimate power: Thanos in one incarnation has literally destroyed the entire omniverse and then contemplated whether this act was actually satisfying to do or to win... and came to the conclusion that the journey actually mattered far more than the destination. This Thanos became the reigning god, and it was a hollow victory. He told the current 616 version of himself of this revelation, thus altering his trajectory as a power in marvel forever. He's not really a hero or antihero, but more of a power capable of tipping or preserving the balance as need be. Darkseid... Darkseid is literally beyond the concept of any kind of god. Darkseid is literally part of fabric of creation, ALL creation, every creation. Where there is anger there is Darkseid, where there is ambition or fear or power, there is darkseid. Darkseid cannot be destroyed without ending *all* of existence to do so, because existence does not become without Darkseid. Darkseid has been "defeated" in the past simply because he has broken off parts of himself to oppose those he deems worthy of struggle or those whom amuse him. These facets and embodiments of Darkseid are finite. Darkseid is not. This battle is absolutely no contest.

Hi, Ken and Bethany! I have suggestion, for your next Death Battle reaction, maybe you could do the newest video: James Bond vs John wick? It's a very good one and I think that you'll enjoy it! I have a feeling Ken might be a fan of James Bond (or both of you!)

If you like seeing a much bloodier death battle, you must react to Omni-Man vs. Homelander. It's one-sided, but it gives a sense of satisfaction and catharsis.
