The New 32 In DC's K.O. #1 (Spoilers)
The New 32 In DC's K.O. #1 (Spoilers)
Article Summary
- DC's K.O. #1 features a 32-character tournament bracket for the publisher's major 2025 event.
- A major change swaps Batman out for the Joker in the official tournament lineup as revealed in the comic.
- The story centers on heroes and villains battling for a shot against Darkseid as Earth becomes a hellscape.
- The closer fighters get to Apokolips' Heart in the tournament, the more they risk corruption and betrayal.
Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers… This was the officially released tournament "Who Will Win" chart for DC K.O. #1 by Scott Snyder and Javier Fernandez, which launches tomorrow, featuring how the thirty-two DC Comics characters will face off against each other.
As we said, it is wrong to the tune of one. Bleeding Cool did mention this a month ago, when we said, "while a previous 'placement' version of the DC K.O. chart found by Bleeding Cool had Batman as one of the participants in the tournament, Bleeding Cool got the word that in the actual comic book, the Joker would be taking his position on the chart." Well, here's what the chart looks like…
With an amendment to the Batman listing…
And now, here's how it looks in the comic book itself, and beginning with The Joker…
Everyone else is the same… but The Joker instead of Batman. No wonder he is not on the cover of DC's K.O. #2 as previously seen….
- DC K.O. #1 (OF 5)
