5 Jaw-Dropping Moments from DC K.O. #3

by

The latest installment of the epic DC Comics event is now available! After a short pause following the intense battles of All Fight Month, DC K.O. issue #3 is here. This series has been a wild ride so far, with Darkseid having already taken over the future and now threatening the present. The DC Universe’s top heroes are battling in a tournament for the chance to gain the power to defeat him. However, some villains are also competing, hoping to use that same power for their own evil plans, which makes everything even more dangerous.

The third issue of DC K.O. focuses on the third round of the competition, pitting the remaining eight fighters into four two-on-two battles. To add a twist, each fighter teams up with a partner for their next fight – some choose allies they know well, while others make surprising picks. This issue is packed with unexpected moments and ends on a cliffhanger that will leave readers eager for the next installment. Here are five of the most stunning moments from DC K.O.

Joker’s Batman Who Laughs Prank

Okay, so everyone knows who’s teamed up with who at the start of this fight, except for Joker. His partner’s a secret, and when it’s revealed, it’s a total shock – it looks like The Batman Who Laughs! I swear, I almost fell out of my chair. But here’s the clever part: Constantine quickly realizes something’s not right. Turns out, it wasn’t the real Batman Who Laughs at all, but Mr. Mxyzptlk playing a trick! Seriously, Joker just wanted to mess with everyone – the heroes and us readers. It was a classic Joker move, honestly.

Green Lantern’s Secret Black Mercy

During the fight between Superman and Guy Gardner, the loud and confident Green Lantern chooses Hal Jordan – one of the few people he truly trusts – to help him. It’s a smart choice, as Hal is a skilled ring-wielder. Hal still possesses a single Black Mercy, a plant Superman knows all too well. He uses it on Superman, creating a seemingly perfect but fake reality for Clark, trapping him inside. It’s a sneaky tactic, but nearly works, almost taking Superman out of the fight.

Lex Luthor’s Designer K

Lex made a shocking choice for a tag-team partner: Supergirl. Understandably, Kara didn’t want to team up with him and immediately attacked. Lex wasn’t looking for an ally, though—he wanted a weapon. He exposed Supergirl to a special mix of kryptonite—red, silver, and black—which he called ‘designer k.’ This turned her into a massive, uncontrollable force who easily defeated Aquaman and Hawkman, letting Lex advance to the next round without a fight.

Superman and the Power of Shazam!

Superman asks Shazam for help in his battle against the Green Lanterns. Though it seems like Superman is giving Shazam another chance to prove himself in the tournament, he has a hidden reason. Superman specifically chose Shazam because of his power-sharing ability. Shazam speaks the magic word, and transforms Superman into a powerful, enhanced version of himself—nicknamed the ‘Big Blue Cheese.’ With this combined strength—Superman’s own power plus the magic of the six gods that empower Shazam—Superman quickly defeats the Green Lanterns.

The Absolute Universe Crossover

The winners of the DC K.O. quarterfinals move on to the fourth round, finding themselves on a ruined Earth that now resembles the nightmarish world of Apokolips. They face off against new ‘champions’: Booster Gold, controlled by Darkseid, and corrupted versions of Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman. These twisted, zombie-like duplicates of the heroes suggest this round of DC K.O. will be just as challenging as the ones before it.
