    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.

    @AllHailRobbFlynn:  was going to say he was their showing respect for the only being he ocnsiders his equal but this is Darkseid, maybe  the artist put him their to show that his death didn't just effect the Heroes but also the villians even the cosmic villians. What I want to know is why Beast Boy his carrying the coffin?

    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 ;-)

    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.

    Given that Brainiac 5 and other LOSH characters are there, he might have just come with them.

    @AtPhantom:  but he still becomes Prime superman in the 853rd century and he has the Lantern ring so it can be argued that it is still relevant.

    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
