Final Crisis

There was a war in heaven, Mr. Turpin. And I won. Your

future belongs to Darkseid now. Final Crisis

—Darkseid

When the Source initiated the demise of the Fourth World and
the Death of the New Gods, it did so on one mistaken assumption: that
extinction would end the animosity between the New Gods
of Apokolipsand New Genesis. The New Gods resumed their war in
heaven, a war that ultimately ended when the forces of evil gained
control of the Anti-Life Equation which can destroy free will. With
this, Darkseid, the Dread Lord of Apokolips and God of Evil, finally
achieved his ultimate goal, and in his victory, the survivors on both
sides fell through reality, landing on New Earth just before the Infinite
Crisis. From here, Darkseid consolidated his position, possessing a
mobster named Boss Dark Side and uniting the evil gods of the Fourth
World. The good gods could not fight him.

At the same time, Superman, along with a number of alternate "Supermen", was called away to help the Monitors deal with
the threat of Monitor Dax Novu, a fallen monitor who had become Mandrakk the Dark Monitor. To his horror, Superman
discovered that Mandrakk's fall was because he had fully embraced his nature: the Monitors were celestial parasites who
fed off the Bleed, and Mandrakk sought to feed off the multiverse itself. Superman was able to defeat Mandrakk,
but Monitor Rox Ogama, who had conspired with Mandrakk and banished Monitor Nix Uotan to Earth, simply assumed his
mantle. Superman dispatched Captain Marvel of Earth-5 to gather all the Supermen of the 52 to form a force which would
be able to defeat Mandrakk. Superman was then called by the Legion of Super-Heroes to deal with Superboy-Prime, but
the Legion were unable to return Superman to his time period until after Darkseid's rebirth. Recognizing that a desperate
course was needed to deal with Darkseid, Brainiac 5 showed Superman schematics for the Miracle Machine.

On an Earth overwhelmed, the last remaining superheroes worked with Checkmate to try to turn the tide against Darkseid.
Although they made progress in the battle of Bludhaven, Darkseid assumed full control over the people enslaved by the
Anti-Life Equation. In his dungeons, Nix Uotan remembered the name of his lost lover, Weeja Dell, restoring his monitor
powers, while Metron, also a prisoner, reactivated his Mother Box. Learning of Darkseid's presence on Earth,
the Guardians of the Universe sent a team of Green Lanterns under Hal Jordan to eliminate Darkseid.

However, Darkseid had underestimated the resolve of Batman. Recognizing Darkseid's existence as a threat, Batman
made a once-in-a-lifetime exception and used a gun to fire the radion bullet Darkseid had used to kill Orion. Darkseid was
hit with the radion bullet, but not before he unleashed the Omega Sanction, the "death that is life", upon Batman. Superman
then returned to New Earth, breaking through Darkseid's forces and finding what appeared to be Batman's corpse. As
Darkseid mocked his old enemy and fired the bullet that killed Orion, Barry Allen and Wally West lead the Black Racer to
Darkseid, who removed his soul from Dan Turpin. Superman allied with the Secret Society under Lex Luthor and Doctor
Sivana, managing to break the Anti-Life Equation's hold over Wonder Woman, who in turn bound Darkseid's corpse with
the Lasso of Truth, breaking the Equation's hold over the people of Earth.

Forced to miniaturize and place the people of Earth into cryogenic stasis, Superman set about building a Miracle Machine
to reverse the damage done by Darkseid. Once it is complete, Darkseid makes a last ditch attempt to defeat Superman and
claim the Miracle Machine. However, Superman sang a note at a frequency that countered Darkseid's own vibrational
frequency, shattering his essence. Superman then needed a sample of Element X to power the Miracle Machine, and
planned to make a sample using Metron's Mobius Chair. Mandrakk then returned to take his revenge as Superman used
the solar energy in his body to power the Chair. Before Mandrakk could react, the Supermen appeared to hold him off while
Nix Uotan restores the humanity and powers of the Zoo Crew (then trapped as ordinary animals) to be reinforcements. Hal
Jordan and the Green Lanterns arrived and, with the last of their power, killed Mandrakk. Superman then used the Miracle
Machine to restore Earth to its normal place in the multiverse. Recognizing that he and his fellow monitors were too
dangerous to be allowed to continue, Nix Uotan banished himself and his kind throughout the multiverse, again separating
himself from Weeja Dell. As Earth began the long process of recovery, the people of Earth were left with the knowledge of
the multiverse.

The DC Universe heavily changed its continuity into the DCnU following the events of Flashpoint in 2011.
This was part of an effort to make storylines more accessible to newer readers, beginning with the New 52.
 This new timeline combines elements from the DCU, Vertigo Universe and Wildstorm Universe while
drastically changing the origins and histories of characters.

The events of the Final Crisis have been referenced throughout the New 52 Universe, but the exact events that unfolded
are uncertain. Darkseid only recalls having fought the Justice League once, and the New Gods of both Apokolips and New
Genesis still exist during the Godhead and Robin Rises events. However, Batman was killed by what is believed to
be Omega Beams, Richard Grayson is shown to have been Batman during Bruce Wayne's absence, and Captain
Carrot from Earth 26 remembers the events of the Final Crisis. DC Comics' website describes the involvement of the
inhabitants of Earth 26, the New 52 version of Earth-C, in an event involving Mandrakk.[1]

Notes
A recurring theme throughout the book is "fire," and what it means for humanity. As of yet, it is unknown what pivotal
role it will play, but fire appears in the following places:
Grant Morrison has stated that he chose to use the unpopular villain "The Human Flame," because "The name
was just so great, "the Human Flame," in a story about evil coming to Earth…and snuffing out "the Human
Flame"."[2]
In the beginning of "Final Crisis #1," the first thing we're shown is Anthro receiving the gift of fire from Metron.
Immediately afterwards, Dan Turpin gives a small speech about how fire was our first big mistake as a species.
"Like everythin' else the sad, stinkin' human race ever thought of. We take a good idea. And we use it to kill
ourselves." Turpin is smoking at the time.
The Martian Manhunter, J'onn J'onzz's weakness is fire. He is murdered by Libra, who stabs him through the
chest with his flaming scales trident.
Element X, the substance Superman uses to power the Miracle Machine, is described as the "fire of the Fourth
World."

From Watchmen at Newsarama:

NRAMA: Speaking of Superman Beyond – how does the timeline work between Beyond, Final Crisis and
Legion of 3 Worlds?

GM: The Monitrix Zillo Valla recruits Superman's help in Final Crisis #3 which leads into Superman Beyond #1
and 2, both of which happen in the space between Lois' final heartbeats. He returns to save her in Beyond #2,
only to be contacted by the Legion of Super-Heroes to deal with an emergency in the 31st Century – as seen in
Legion of 3 Worlds #1. Normally, the Legion is able to return him to his own time an instant after he left, so
naturally he feels secure quitting Earth after saving Lois. After his encounter with Superboy Prime in LO3W,
however, he returns late to Final Crisis #6, to find time has crashed, Darkseid rules the world and Batman is
dead. Oops.

One idea presented is that during Darkseid's conquest of New Earth, other crises were taking place on all the Earths
of the 52:
Earth-4 had an unnamed series of events, beginning with the death of the Peacemaker (likely reflecting those
depicted on Watchmen).
Earth-5 underwent "The Topsy-Turvy Time Crisis".
Earth-6 was invaded by shapeshifting aliens, who had replaced certain leading heroes over a year before (likely
reflecting Marvel's "Secret Invasion" storyline).

Deaths
The Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz)
Orion of the New Gods
Batman (Bruce Wayne)

Trivia
There were several early comments made to foreshadow Final Crisis. Wildfire mentions during Lightning Saga that
they've arrived just after the "middle crisis," meaning Infinite Crisis.[3]
