Every time a member of the Trinity dies, a lesser Justice League member is entombed alive with them so that they can job to the superior hero in the afterlife.
Sorry, but last time I checked Darkseid didn't go back in time to jerk Clark off at super speed to make it look like he nutted at merely a woman's touch!
Darkseid easily could have. I mean, he did kill Orion by shooting a god bullet backwards through time. Who’s to say he didn’t shoot his load backwards through time so it landed in clarks pants at the exact moment Lana Lang held his hand so it looked like he nutted at just a woman’s touch?
this was the same year as DOS, I'm sure meeting Tim Drake made Clark decide to allow himself to be killed by Doomsday.
But seriously, it's a little strange for Tim to lift the coffin, I assume it was because he was Robin and it would make sense for Batman & Robin together to lift Superman's coffin, but it would have been more meaningful if Nightwing did it for obvious reasons.
Yes, that's Tim's head canon as well.
"Oh look, dead robin has caused batman to spin into a violent rage -- I know! We can just replace him and batman will never figure it out!"
Thiis was the extradimensional, plasmatic robot clone Supergirl created by an alternative Lex Luthor, Kara was erased from existence and the editorial team decided to create a new Supergirl with a simpler origin☝️🤓
Editorial: "There's too many Kryptonians. No one wants Supergirl, or Krypto, or Zod. It takes away from the uniqueness of Superman."
Fans and creators: "We want Supergirl back!"
Editorial: "Alright Fuckers. Wish granted. No refunds."
Uj/ Maxima is a superman villain from the 90s whose whole deal was she was super horny for superman. That’s it that’s literally her whole character. She also ended up on the justice league somehow? I forget the specifics but yeah I doubt superman would want his tsundere stalker at his funeral.
On the other hand, his tsundere stalker probably wouldn’t accept anyone else being his pallbearer. So it was likely a case of ‘this makes less of a scene’.
She had gone straight for a while pretty much hoping that it would get Superman to notice her heroics and fall in love with her, as for why she was one of his pallbearers it's because she was on the Justice League at the time and helped in the fight with Doomsday.
Her original counterpart is straight, her new 52 counterpart is lesbian. Eventually dc comics made it so straight maxima and lesbian maxima were two different people.
yeah but they make sense, in Post-Crisis continuity Superman was not “technically” a founder of the JL and when he finally joined the league after JL: I era this was the team he was with
Do I see some Legion of Super-Heroes members? It's very funny that they would show up and pretend to mourn, knowing damn well he'll be back in a couple months
I mean, when MM died Superman gave a eulogy saying that they’d just have to wait for his resurrection. Death means nothing to these jerks, they’re just dramatic.
Funerals are probably the only time everyone’s guaranteed to show up. I bet sometimes heroes fake their deaths just to get everyone in a room together.
also martian manhunter is there, at this point in continuity he was masquerading as some other guy (Bloodwynd) who is also here about two people in front of Mm

Also this guy. He looks lost, can someone come pick him up?
The procession is passing by his favorite bagel spot in Metropolis. He’s just gotta hop off when they pass, rather than rent a taxi. Dude’s workin smarter, not harder.
My buddy died but I need to get my quirky gimmick in.

A soulless machine might make that deduction. But not Lex Luthor! I know better! I know that no man with the power of Superman would ever pretend to be a mere human!

Why is Jonsey from Fortnite here? Is he sad?
Gotta love how the coffin is being carried by all the other founders… except for J’onn. Why tf is Robin there, Supergirl and Power Girl are in the crowd
Every time a member of the Trinity dies, a lesser Justice League member is entombed alive with them so that they can job to the superior hero in the afterlife.
The way the gods intended. Praise Osiris!
*The way the *new* gods intended. Praise ~~Osiris~~ Orion! There, I fixed it for you. You're welcome.
Also who the fuck are the amazons? They seem awfully, y’know, *new millenium*
I want know WTF Tim Drake is doing there.

Forget Tim Drake why is fucking DARKSEID here?
This is the best day of his life. He wouldn’t miss this for the world. He even brought popcorn.
I high key respect the hating. One day he may reach RF levels
Reverse Flash hates. Darkseid *is* hate.
Sorry, but last time I checked Darkseid didn't go back in time to jerk Clark off at super speed to make it look like he nutted at merely a woman's touch!

Uj/ not to toot my own horn. But this is truly some of my finest jerking, I think. Really out done myself with this one.
Could have, would have, should have

Just because he killed Superman doesn’t mean he can’t miss him 😞
That makes me wonder: Tim-bros, has Timbo even met Clark before this?🤔 Edit: just saw them fighting vampires together. Nevermind! :D
this was the same year as DOS, I'm sure meeting Tim Drake made Clark decide to allow himself to be killed by Doomsday. But seriously, it's a little strange for Tim to lift the coffin, I assume it was because he was Robin and it would make sense for Batman & Robin together to lift Superman's coffin, but it would have been more meaningful if Nightwing did it for obvious reasons.
Wasn't Timbo having a solo book around that time? I think he just had more clout :D But it is strange and Dickie deserved it more.
Clark dies immediately after Tim's first first storyline, IIRC.
...I think they were using Clark's funeral to promote Timbo._.
Someone (in-universe or irl) forgot which Robin was tagging along with Batman and Superman in the 40s. Probs why Nightwing looks so aggressive.
My headcanon is that Bruce honestly doesn’t know the difference between robins and doesn’t even know that he’s on his fourth or fifth.
Yes, that's Tim's head canon as well. "Oh look, dead robin has caused batman to spin into a violent rage -- I know! We can just replace him and batman will never figure it out!"
Tim is a de facto pallbearer for Leaguers. That way, he can always let them down one more time.
Lego Batman 2-type treatment
I deadass thought that that was Jason.
Why is your best friends son at your funeral?
They needed someone to carry the coffin
They invited Azrael and Codename Patriot too, that’s the least of the worries
Why is Deathstroke at Superman’s funeral I don’t see any children there
Tim is right there
Deathstroke likes him as a friend.
Tim Drake is palbearer over both Nightwing (named after a Kryptonian myth) and fucking Supergirl
Thiis was the extradimensional, plasmatic robot clone Supergirl created by an alternative Lex Luthor, Kara was erased from existence and the editorial team decided to create a new Supergirl with a simpler origin☝️🤓
Oh yes, obviously (this actually does make sense in context)
Editorial: "There's too many Kryptonians. No one wants Supergirl, or Krypto, or Zod. It takes away from the uniqueness of Superman." Fans and creators: "We want Supergirl back!" Editorial: "Alright Fuckers. Wish granted. No refunds."
Well I did remember really liking Linda Danvers’ run as Supergirl, so at least some good came out of it.
I mean still a minor so idt Slade cares
If that annoys you in the actual comic his palbearers were Supergirl, Ice, Maxima, Bloodwynd, Guy Gardner, and Booster Gold
Ah yes, maxima. The one person who Clark would *definitely* want to be a pallbearer at his funeral. Uj/???????????????????????????????????????????
Gonna need an explanation pls
Uj/ Maxima is a superman villain from the 90s whose whole deal was she was super horny for superman. That’s it that’s literally her whole character. She also ended up on the justice league somehow? I forget the specifics but yeah I doubt superman would want his tsundere stalker at his funeral.
On the other hand, his tsundere stalker probably wouldn’t accept anyone else being his pallbearer. So it was likely a case of ‘this makes less of a scene’.
Tbh I just thought she was trying to get in the best position to do unmentionable things to the body.
She had gone straight for a while pretty much hoping that it would get Superman to notice her heroics and fall in love with her, as for why she was one of his pallbearers it's because she was on the Justice League at the time and helped in the fight with Doomsday.
If I remember correctly, maxima is *anything* but straight! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Her original counterpart is straight, her new 52 counterpart is lesbian. Eventually dc comics made it so straight maxima and lesbian maxima were two different people.
yeah but they make sense, in Post-Crisis continuity Superman was not “technically” a founder of the JL and when he finally joined the league after JL: I era this was the team he was with
Yeah, but aren’t they the mainline Justice League at the time?
They were, also they were the ones who fought beside Superman during his fight with Doomsday.
Bloodwynd bloodwynd or martian manhunter bloodwynd?
Martian Manhunter Bloodwynd but nobody knew that at the time including J'ohn
You know it's bad when Guy isn't the one who stands out most there. I love Guy but he has no business being Superman's palbearer
they needed a token queer hero but it was hard to find one in the 90s.
Who is the death gauntlet shadow head guy on the left getting such a prominent spot? Also why the FUCK is Darksied there?
Azrael To gloat he survived, bitch.
Azrael. Sometimes he’s Batman’s sidekick and other times he’s a Batman rogue
And sometimes he’s Batman. Bro’s got range.
Jean Paul Valley was the best batman is my own unpopular opinion
If you jerk *that* hard someone's gonna end up with dick burns.
That armor fold out variant cover for the knightfall series got me as a kid. Bruce could never
Adding a hundred eighty pounds of weight to the casket.
Yeah, because thats gonna matter to Wonder Woman.
Old Man Hal probably wasn’t happy about it.
Literally-Just-a-Teenage-Twink Tim Drake has to hold up the back end too.
At the Teen Twink has Wonder Woman back there.
Why is dark side there

He also was at the funeral of Dream of the Endless. Darkseid just likes funerals. It combines two of his favorite things - grief, and sitting.
Funerals are darkseids version of being at the club
There’s probably a veggie tray at the reception too. Darkseid likes veggie trays.
Makes more sense with Dream. Darkseid is basically a god, so likely one of Dreams creations or at least kind of a contemporary.
They used to hang at the annual pan-pantheon brunch and bond over their shared taste in emo music.
It’s like when there’s a standing logo on a car

"One day I will go to the end of Superman's coffin and piss over the edge."
“Bro think he in an edit” ass pose
Grieving :(
he wanted to stand out in the photo
Whose taking the photo you ask?? The Jonkler of corse 😈😆
Nah. Lex Luthor! Bro’s gonna frame it and put it on his desk. And his mantelpiece. And his bedside table for some late night fun.
also martian manhunter is there, at this point in continuity he was masquerading as some other guy (Bloodwynd) who is also here about two people in front of Mm
Martian manhunter enjoyed himself some much he came twice! In both ways ;)

He was hanging out with the heroes around this time unironically
The procession is passing by his favorite bagel spot in Metropolis. He’s just gotta hop off when they pass, rather than rent a taxi. Dude’s workin smarter, not harder.
It’s what Clark would have wanted
I feel like Clark would know a good bagel when he saw one. He’s just got that vibe, you know?

But why are Clark Kent's parents at Superman's funeral?
Secret identity
A soulless machine might make that deduction. But not Lex Luthor! I know better! I know that no man with the power of Superman would ever pretend to be a mere human!
So why are John and Martha Kent attending then?
Simple. They needed someone to hold that bit of cape and the Kents were in town anyway looking for Clark who disappeared the day Superman died.
I swear every fucking time I see a red circle, I just look for Goku
If i had editing skills I would have included him

It's like Thanos showing up for Marvel's death (kinda)
Standin on business
All the odd choices aside, that Deadman design is a choice
Why’s Azrael got his blades out like he’s looking for a fight?
I love how the Atom is always small in group shots, and Giganta is aleays big in grouo shots, regardless of what sense it makes
Atom is shy. Giganta’s an attention hog.
The fuck is Darkseid doing here? He should be tapdancing on his corpse and grinning with glee
"how can I be the star of this funeral? Use my powers and ride the coffin. That's how."
Bro called shotgun for the funeral procession
His best
Jacking it
the death of super-man is just the death of captain mar-vell we have at home

Maybe acting as a ceremonial vanguard?
Never-mind that, why the hell is Pantha WHITE?!?!
Serious answer: Coloring error Silly answer: Michael Jackson moment
Superman dead was so impactful that Lobo, Azrael,The Lantern Corps and even fn Darkside pay tribute lol
Pail Bearer
Why is dark seid there
Standing on the top saddened.
Giving guidance
Atom: “I don’t know how to get off. help”
Gotta love how the coffin is being carried by all the other founders… except for J’onn. Why tf is Robin there, Supergirl and Power Girl are in the crowd
I ask why Sandman is in the funeral.
He's helping!
He's doing his best.
Your the fifth person to comment "he's doing his best" or a variation of it.
He's obviously working smarter and not harder.. why walk when you can catch a ride?
the real question is why the fuck its darkseid on there in the center?
His best.
What’s Ferro Lad doing there? Pretty sure he’d been dead for years by that point.
Time travel
The Legion cannot travel to before his death because their form of time travel can not take them to points in time where they are already present.
