It wasn't until the 1920s that the statue was fully unearthed again.

Finding previously unknown organisms in the depths of the ocean may sound like something out of a science fiction horror film, but a 2020 study of a deep-sea volcano near New Zealand, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, uncovered "over 90 putative bacterial and archaeal genomic families and nearly 300 previously unknown genera." Hydrothermal vents, like deep-sea volcanoes, have been connected to the "beginning of life" in certain studies. So, are we seeing the beginnings of future land-dwellers? We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Darkseid blasted him with his Omega Sanction rays the first time, so Batman shot Darkseid with a god-killing rifle. Darkseid's rays sent Batman back in time, but he finally returned to the present and foiled Darkseid's goals. The second time, Batman donned the Justice League's Hellbat armour, which granted him incredible power at the price of his own life-force. He was able to hold his own against Darkseid long enough to achieve his task and save his son Damian Wayne.

After the 1914–15 season, the Football League ceased its schedule, and amateur competitions were tough to organise with so many men in the war, so women stepped in. Munitions workers, or'munitionettes,' organised football teams and competed against other plants. Munitionette football had a large fan base, and many matches were held on the grounds of professional teams. When the conflict ended, the female players were forced to hang up their boots and return to the domestic life they had been leading before to the war.
