Fourth World created by Jack Kirby -
Jack Kirby's Fourth World is a turn of phrase commonly attributed to a family of titles created in the 1970s by writer/illustrator Jack Kirby. When Jack Kirby returned to working for DC Comics in the 1970s, he introduced what would become known as the Fourth World concept. He created a science-fiction based mythology revolving around ancient space deities known as the New Gods. Similar to the gods of Earth lore, the New Gods were larger than life, possessing fantastic powers, which they used in a never-ending struggle between good and evil. Fourth World characters include Steppenwolf and Darkseid. (http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Jack_Kirby%27s_Fourth_World)

DISCUSSION NOTES
What was the overall theme? Getting the band together (Unlike Marvel, they don't call themselves the Justice League) Basic plot Steppenwolf has been able to come back to Earth and wants to find the three mother boxes; once the boxes are united, the world can be conquered and The past Steppenwolf tried to conquer Earth before, but the united armies of Amazons (with help from the Gods), Atlanteans, humans, and Green Lanterns beat him (LotRstyle). They spilt the Mother Boxes, hiding and protecting them. One is in Atlantis, one is on Themyscira, and the humans buried the third. Bruce Wayne / Batman Been Batman for 20 years – getting tired Feels guilty about Superman's death Uses guy's fear to lure a creature (find out later it's a Parademon) Need to recruitothers to fight invasion Comes up with plan to resurrect Superman; the world needs hope and the team needs more firepower What's his super power? Being rich; him being the only regular human is brought up throughout the film Gives Flash confidence to be a hero Relies heavily on Alfred Buys bank that took the Kent's farm Diana Prince / Wonder Woman Works in a museum; does the Wonder Woman thing when needed, but is not public about it Paris: Uses lasso to learn plan, stops bullets, tosses bomb in air, comes back, stops more bullets, saves day Themyscira: Steppenwolf invades, Hippolytagets Mother Box out, locks warriors in room, more fighting, but Steppenwolf gets box. Hippolyta lights the beacon, knowing Diana will realize what's going on. (The beacons are lit, Gondor calls for aid!) Still hurt by losing Steve Trevor Reluctant team leader Still a badass fighter; Steppenwolf notices she has the blood of the Old Gods in her Aquaman/ Arthur Curry Sexy, sexy, sexy! - This is not how Aquamanis traditionally seen Helps vi
