I was looking through some back issues and took out Superman #75. There was a poster that came with it that had the DCU heroes with Supe's casket. In the middle of it all, stands Darkseid. Is there something I'm missing from this time-frame? I wasn't a huge Superman fan back then and I can't find any info on it any where. It's killing me, so the answer would be appreciated. Here is a link to the poster in question.

Superman
Character » Superman appears in 18939 issues.
Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
Why was Darkseid on the Death Of Superman poster?
" @Son_of_Magnus said:" Where is Batman in that pic? "yea thats why I asked why was Beast boy carring the coffin it should of been Batman "
Mainly cause I think he had his back broken by Bane, so, you'll have to cut him some slack as it's a bit hard carrying a casket at the best of times, let alone when you have a broken back ;-)
" Where is Batman in that pic? "Batman didn't appear at Superman's funeral but did attend lurking in the shadows and rooftops and what not.
Though since the artist was being all artsy (including villains) I'm not sure why he wasn't on the poster.
I also spot an effing Guardian of the Universe and the Demon Etrigan.
Those guys definitely don't give a hoot about Superman.
" What's Mon-EL doing their? wasn't he still deadly alergic to lead then?? "Mon-El has been screwed over a lot by continuity..there's no simple answer to that question =/

Sigh... Poor Mon-EL, He'd be such a Great Character if the DCU didn't hate his guts...
" Given that Brainiac 5 and other LOSH characters are there, he might have just come with them. "Oops, didn't see them there. :P
actually the guardians had a good reason for being at his funeral. http://www.supermansupersite.com/1972.html" I also spot an effing Guardian of the Universe and the Demon Etrigan. Those guys definitely don't give a hoot about Superman. "

" LOL @ that. Half of the New Gods are there, as well as a guardian, Morpheus, and, in the upper right corner, DOCTOR DOOM!!!! "It's not Doom it was Phantasm Aka Danny Chase he was a member of the titans during the Death of Superman as was Deathstroke as they where trying to find the rest of the titans who had been taken by the Wild beasts.
" @AtPhantom said:Yeah, but it's a lot cooler if you think it's Doom. I reject you reality and substitute my own! XD" LOL @ that.

I think he put Darkseid and a few of the other characters that look out of place because he wanted to show how much superman has affected everyone,Villain or Hero
" @Final Arrow said:If thats the case I will be joining you in your reality XD as Doom at Supermans funeral is kinda cool." @AtPhantom said:Yeah, but it's a lot cooler if you think it's Doom.

Doom "Thats right Doom has traveled to your universe to laugh at your misery, foolish DC heroes" XD
" @Final Arrow said:Damn you AtPhantom! I really really thought it was Doom when you said it... I am among the fooled... Hehehehe!" @AtPhantom said:Yeah, but it's a lot cooler if you think it's Doom.

And about the Batman / Beast Boy thing,what about this one here? there are some differences/replacements.And comparing with the other one,looks like this picture is extended so its portraying more characters.Spectre is being replaced by someone else(?).And who was the guy that Cpt. Marvel now got his spot? Seems to be Psycho-Pirate
sorry to necro this thread but a friends kid was asking who was who on this poster so i tried to make him a list, but since i'm more of a marvel fan i'm missing a few, can anyone ID the last ones for him?
as a new user i'm not allowed to post images yet so here is a link; https://freeimage.host/i/261QOG
