DC Comics Killed Off The Authority In Recent Release
The Authority held a special place in the universe and their unexpected sacrifice marked the end of an era. Unlike the other superheroes in capes and spandex suits, The Authority was born out of tragedy. The superheroes with extreme methods were formed out of the remnants of StormWatch. The group cared little for politics and law, doing instead whatever it took to get the job done.
The recent demise of the Authority in Wildstorm paved the way for a potentially reimagined future that is headed by James Gunn. The fans of Authority are now waiting to watch their favorite team appear in Gunn’s DCU.

How Was The Authority Killed?
The Authority is the superhero team known to play with moral boundaries to save the world. Their ability to manipulate reality and their unyielding resolve are pushed to the ultimate test in Armageddon when they face an unfathomable cosmic menace. Although it is not certain what contributed to the Authority’s destruction, the group sacrificed themselves to prevent a catastrophic occurrence.
For fans of the Authority, this marks not simply the conclusion of a cherished comic book series but also a turning point in the greater story of DC Comics. Now with everything scrapped that was attached to DCEU, the fans are more excited about what James Gunn brings to the table starting with ‘Superman: Legacy‘. With the plot kept under wraps, Gunn hinted at a more sober and upbeat interpretation of Superman than the darker version of Snyder-verse movies.
