Da’ath : Beyond The Abyss






“ I was actually able, to look at some of these REALLY Dark, sort of Human Feelings and just  sort of process them through The Work — 

Y’know, Darkseid, Dr. Hurt — 
those were the characters 
that come out of thinking :

“There are actually people out there who would REALLY want to see you FUCKED-UP, 
they would CHEER —”

and I didn’t really think they existed before, 
I thought ultimately you could make friends with everyone, 
and get them to laugh 
and somehow — 

That doesn’t... 
That doesn’t work like that..... •grins• 

And when we were doing Final Crisis, any Superman : Beyond and Batman : RIP, 
it was  about that idea, of almost a sort of 
Post-Traumatic SuperHero — 
The Man Who's Seen it All and Done it All --  

and who's come back and still, 
somewhere in His Soul, 
he's dragging out this last, little iota of Hope....

....and I had to be 
SHOWN, y’know —

“THIS is What it FEELS Like to be on course for The Road to The Absolute Self — 
Do Ya Wanna Do That, 
Do You Wanna Go There? 
Do You Want to 
Follow This Down...?”

And The Answer that becomes  clear, obviously, is :

“Of Course Not — 
You Wanna Have
President Superman, 
and 
Multiple Worlds, 
and Hope.”
