Who are the New Gods? DC Universe to bring Jack Kirby's Fourth World characters to life in live-adaptation

With fans finally getting a good grip on the superheroes and deities who inhabit the DC Universe, it's about time some of the lesser known characters are brought into the spotlight
PUBLISHED FEB 15, 2019

DC does its best to get more obscure characters into the limelight by crossing over their lesser-known characters into more famous shows like 'Teen Titans' or 'Young Justice'.

The New Gods are just one set of characters that make frequent guest appearances on these animated shows in DC's attempt to familiarize fans with the characters, by providing crucial backstories in order to legitimize their slightly less famous superheroes.
