'Young Justice: Outsiders': With the final battle approaching, will The Presence finally make an appearance?

The Presence is DC's take on an Abrahamic God and he has appeared during critical moments in the comics to help our heroes change the tide of war

The citizens of the comicverse may look at Superman and all his abilities as being near God-like. His moral values and his desire to protect a planet which is not his homeworld place this Kryptonian in very high regard. The same can be said about the various OP superheroes of the DC Universe like Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Flash (but not you, Batman, with no powers, you're more of a liability in this world of might and magic).

DC's touch-and-go game with religion changed with the debut of The Presence in 'More Fun Comics #52' in February 1940 but The Presence appeared as more of a disembodied voice than as a physical diety.
