"DARK NIGHTS: DEATH METAL's Goal is to 'Sort Out' DC's Continuity & Universe" . Retrieved April 14, 2020. Superman flies to the Fortress of Solitude where he encounters the dark versions of Batman for the first time as they introduce themselves as the Dark Knights. They all come from the Dark Multiverse — temporary negative realities created by the fears of people from their respective counterpart positive universes — and were recruited by Barbatos with the promise of preventing the end of their worlds. The Batman Who Laughs from Earth-22, who lost his sanity due to his world's Joker, gathered the six other Dark Multiverse Batmen after they each alter themselves to gain superhuman abilities. The Dark Knights' membership includes the speedster fusion of Flash and Batman called The Red Death, a female amphibious Batman (Bryce Wayne) called The Drowned, a corrupted, teenaged Green Lantern Batman named The Dawnbreaker, a cyborg Batman named The Murder Machine, a Batman known as The Merciless who wears the helmet of Ares and the Doomsday-infected Batman called The Devastator. Superman is overwhelmed as he is spirited away from danger by the Flash and Doctor Fate. [18] I enjoy event series. I always have. I like to re-read them every so often. Generally I'm more of a Marvel Guy - but occasionally something from the distinguished competition lands for me, and "Metal" is one such story. My favorite D.C. event is Final Crisis - it means a lot to me personally - but I'll admit Morrison's take on the line-wide crossover left something to be desired for a number of reasons. "Metal" builds on a lot of the fundamental ideas introduced through Morrison's 2000's - 2010's D.C. projects and feels like the right mixture of Final Crisis' gonzo big ideas and Infinite Crisis' brilliant structure. Oftentimes tie-in books feel tangential or frustrating. Not the case here. Nightwing, along with a band of allies, including Hawkgirl and a reluctant Detective Chimp, are tasked by Lex Luthor to rescue the Legion of Doom. [17] Speed Metal [ edit ] The Green Lantern Corps and the Justice Incarnate have united against the remaining Earths that have sworn loyalty to Perpetua: Earth 3, Earth 10, Earth 29, Earth 43, and Earth 50. All the while, John Stewart tries to convince a reluctant Owlman to betray Perpetua and rise up against the destruction of the Multiverse. He does so and uses a special gun made on Qward to kill Ultraman and Superwoman. [19] Issue #4 [ edit ]

They call themselves the Dark Knights: twisted versions of Batman, each from a world where one of his worst fears has come true. Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt #1 by Scott Snyder, Grant Morrison, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson, Howard Porter, Jorge Jiménez, Doug Mahnke, Jaime Mendoza, Hi-Fi Design, Alejandro Sanchez, Wil Quintana Refusing to lose, Barbatos reveals his last resort; using the combined power of the positive energy of his prisoner the Over-Monitor, the Anti-Monitor's brain's negative energy, and the Batman Who Laughs' dark energy, he plans to destroy all of creation and leave nothing but darkness in his wake. An unexpected team-up of Batman and the Joker, however, halts this plan, the Justice League defeats the remaining Dark Knights, and Hawkgirl subdues Barbatos. After the Over-Monitor explains that all living things have trace amounts of Tenth Metal, the League proceed to use this power to pull Earth out of the Dark Multiverse (which unintentionally also results in the Source Wall shattering). After the battle the Over-Monitor chains Barbatos down at the bottom of the Dark Multiverse with Tenth Metal chains, forcing him to watch the World Forge burn bright once more as it creates new worlds.

Dark Nights: Death Metal Reading Order:

This story from 1990 introduced the Bat-Demon Barbathos (the big bad of Dark Nights: Metal) into the DC mythology. I’ve been planning METAL for as long as I’ve been writing Batman, but I want METAL to be built upon the stories happening now in Rebirth. Most of all we want to create new material that feels really modern and different. And above all, it’s going to be fun. Even with terror and nightmares, it won’t be grim. DARK NIGHTS: METAL will be celebratory, huge and crazy.”– SCOTT SNYDER.
