During the epic DC crossover 'Cosmic Odyssey', the Universe's greatest heroes meet and join forces with Jack Kirby's New Gods to do battle with the mighty Darkseid, ruler of Apokolips. Together with fellow Justice Leaguers and friends Superman, Green Lantern (the John Stewart iteration) and the Martian Manhunter, Batman launches an assault upon Darkseid's forces in an attempt to save the world, universe and humanity. When hero Forager dies in the heat of battle, the bemused, aloof New God Orion describes him as a bug, wondering aloud who would have thought he had it in him? Enraged, Batman punches the shiny God square in the chops. Ever wonder what sound effect you'd use to describe Batman punching a (new) God in the face? 'Ker-Thaaat', apparently. Ouch blasphemy.
