Intense DCEU/MCU Crossover Art Shows Thanos vs Darkseid

Comic book movies dominated the box office throughout the 2010s, riding an ever-increasing wave of popularity as audiences, by and large, turned out in droves to see the newest adaptations of characters from the page. This is in large part due to the success of the Cinematic Universe model, popularized by Marvel Studios and adopted by their competitors, that kept audiences invested in ongoing storylines and post-credit scene teases.

The DCEU has by contrast produced fewer films in their ongoing continuity, but the Justice League's major adversary, Darkseid (Ray Porter), was hinted at in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before finally making an appearance in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
