What's the Meaning of DC's 'Doomsday Will Reign' Teaser?
Nov 12th 2010 By: Caleb Goellner
Yesterday afternoon DC's The Source blog posted a cryptic image of Superman's "S" emblem dripping with blood beneath nothing more than the headline "Doomsday Will Reign." Fans are already tossing out logical ideas for what the image could mean. is it a reference to the recently announced The Death of Superman digital release? An avant-garde ad for Superman's strawberry preserves? Or is it one of three completely insane choices that only a blogger with an itchy Photoshopping finger would waste time lying about? Let's go with option #3 after the jump! 
When Superman can't walk back to Metropolis in time to stop an invasion of Durlans, Doomsday steps up to the plate and pops a cap right between the eyes of their Chameleony Queen. The president is so impressed, he offers Doomsday complete control of Checkmate (now called, uh... Doomsdate?) and he gets right to work alongside his cabal of darkly reigning friends. You know the ones. All the top villains. Yeah. YEAH!Reign Rain
An unintended typo within the DC offices results in Warner Bros. Records cutting Doomsday's club joint "Make it Reign" feat. Lil Wayne. Unamused, Fat Joe calls up his occasional pal Jimmy Olsen, who in turn uses his signal watch to summon the Man of Steel for help. Temporarily lacking the power to flow after exposure to lyrical rampage-muting saffron Kryptonite, Superman recruits the demon Etrigan and producer Batman to track a sick counter jam and settle the feud. The Demon's old school verses coupled with Supes' Anti-Life shattering hooks are augmented by the Batcomputer's Auto-Tune and mixed down again and again until pseudo-evolution somehow makes it more powerful. Once the hit is cut, it's blasted via Boom Tube at Doomsday, sending him sprawling to the moon where he's ultimately destroyed. Despite the Daily Planet's jarring photographic evidence, middle school students spread a rumor that he just faked his death and is living in Paris.

Guess What's In Bizarro Arsenal's Quiver? Dead Cats
We've talked about Rise of Arsenal before, notably the scene where Arsenal gets high on heroin and assaults of bunch of people in order to protect the corpse of a cat that he believes is his dead daughter. It's a scene that has prompted more than a few jokes, but one of the best ones we've seen came in this week's Supergirl #57 by Sterling Gates and Bernard Change, where a Bizarro version of the JLA appears, including a Bizarro Arsenal (or as well like to call him, Bizarsenal) carrying -- wait for it -- a quiver full of dead kitties. Well played, sirs.
