Battle of Earth (DCEU events)

The Battle of Earth was the culminating battle for the fate of the planet and the entire universe, fought amongst the Justice League and their allies united, against alternate timeline versions of Darkseid, Suicide Squad, and their full arsenal of Outrider, Chitauri and Sakaaran armies. The monumental scale of the battle makes it one of the largest extraterrestrial conflicts in Earth's history.

The battle took place in the demolished ruins of the New Avengers Facility in New York, shortly after it was annihilated by Darkseid's flagship, the Sanctuary II. After the Avengers rallied their own defenses in the Wakandans, Masters of the Mystic Arts, Ravagers, Asgardians Legends of Tomorrow, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, both sides collided to a head in a massive assault, fighting for possession of the Infinity Stones. Many casualties from both battlefronts resulted from the battle.

With both sides vying for supremacy, the tide turned in favour of the Justice League when Superman, Aquaman, and Shazam! used her cosmic powers to destroy the Sanctuary II, which up until that point pinned down the Justice League and gave Darkseid the tactical advantage. The battle came to a decisive close when Iron Man sacrificed his life to activate the completed Iron Gauntlet, wiping out Thanos and his armies, effectively avenging the resurrected trillions who previously perished in the Decimation, and ending his war on Earth.
