DC Rebirth Made Darkseid a Baby
For those who may have omit out on " The Darkseid War " - the story that actuallylaunchedthe DC Rebirth and several of its story - we ’ll seek to keep thing simple . Darkseid became a babe . The entire story actually focused on Grail , the girl of Darkseid and an Amazon assassin named Myrina .
