I'm not a fan of this whole The Darkness angle....it means a couple things about the Super-verse:

1. God isn't omnipotent. This has been a suspicion since Death said he'd reap God, though that could mean God would allow himself to get reaped. But with the Darkness able to wage war against him and the archangels, he is confirmed to not have absolute power. He's just a nigh-omni/high level reality warper.

2. God didn't create the universe, meaning he's, at best, mult-galatic+ on the power scale, putting him well below characters from other fiction, including DCs Michael and Lucifer, who are universal at worst, multiversal at best, and omniversal together.

3. This season is going to require enormous suspension of disbelief. If it took God and all the archangels to lock the darkness away, and the darkness reappears on earth as soon as it's free, why is there still an earth in season 11? If it's an impersonal force, there can't be a valid reason outside of "God (somehow) did it," which isn't satisfying since he isn't powerful enough to stop the Darkness by himself. If it's an intelligence, that's another story, and could possibly be interesting.
