He tries to escape, but not a lot and not in particularly clever ways, with an old Walkman cassette player/recorder playing way too big a part of most of the plans. The escape artist aspects of Scott Free don't really get much of a spotlight. But as a theme it never really seems to go anywhere, and Darkseid never shows up so we don't see how this works with his traditional gray/mauve pallor. In an attempt to make Jack Kirby's endlessly boring Fourth World mythology more timely, many characters are now BIPOC and racism is introduced to Apokolips, with one character putting on whiteface in order to get ahead in the hierarchy. A reimagined version of Scott Free is trying to escape from Goodness Academy, a hellish boarding school for teenagers on Apokolips, the home planet of Darkseid and his pantheon of evil gods.
