Dark Knights: Death Metal Must Read

It is revealed that both multiverses are connected through mysterious metals that Batman has encountered over the years. His investigations eventually result in him releasing seven evil versions of himself from…

Major DC Spoilers: At Chicago and C2E2, Scott Snyder was asked what happens to the DC Comic Universe after the events of his series Dark Nights: Metal. About the Source Wall at the end of Metal, Snyder said: “It’s the whole impetus of No Justice … but I’m just gonna spoil it: the Green Lantern Corps goes out to the wall to be like, ‘What’s on the other side?’ The energies are unquantifiable and toxic so they decide to seal it, but they realize is that they have woken up…

Their 4 year run of the Batman title is some of the best story telling I have ever read. Unlike most of the new 52 characters at DC Batman did not change much after Flashpoint. Scott continued to build on an already rich Batman mythos giving us the court owls, death of the family, year zero,…
