DC's next Batman-centric crossover event - Dark Nights: Metal - kicks off next month.  While there have been few details surrounding the event, part of it will involve several alternate versions of Batman that hail from the Dark Multiverse. These evil Batmen are expected to contribute to the main story, but will also play a role in several tie-ins as well, which you can read more about here.

The first of these Batman hybrids - a fusion of Batman and The Flash known as The Red Death - has now been revealed on the cover preview for The Flash #33. Check out the preview and solicitation below, and stay tuned for more from Dark Nights: Metal as it's revealed!

“JUSTICE INSURGENCE” part one! After the harrowing events of DARK NIGHTS: METAL #3, the JUSTICE LEAGUE has scattered around the world to find the only artifacts that can fight back against the invasion of the Dark Multiverse. The League thinks they know how to take back their world, but they are not prepared for who is standing in their way. The Seven Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse. All the brilliance of Batman, but none of the morals. Barry Allen, The Fastest Man Alive, is the first to get a taste of their plan, as BATMAN: THE RED DEATH takes him on at the Fortress of Solitude.

I'm normally all for crossovers and big events but I'm just not feeling this one.

This is so stupid, damn I'm glad I stop wasting my money on the big 2. So many good indie books out here, with fresh new ideas. I still like Moon Knight and Miles, but the hell with the rest of this garbage.

@LEOSTRATOR - see i would agree with you but this is Scott Snyder, he gave us the best addition to the Batman mythos since Hush with Court of Owls
LEOSTRATOR
LEOSTRATOR - 7/19/2017, 7:46 AM
@Ha1frican - I like Snyder and I agree Court of Owls was great. Hey Batman is my favorite character of all time, but I'm just bored with the status quo and the rehashed ideas. This is the reason why I lean toward Manga and indie more now in days.

@LEOSTRATOR - Thats fair i never read issue to issue on pretty much any title it just isnt worth it i wait for collected editions if the reviews of a run are really good usually

@LEOSTRATOR - Yes, because Batman infused with most of the JL not to mention Joker and Doomsday, let alone the idea of an evil Batman THAT DOESN'T COME FROM EARTH 3, isn't original.

LEOSTRATOR - 7/19/2017, 11:48 AM
@GAThrawnIGF - It's not.

@elcaballerooscuro92 - I've only read the pilot and first volume of boku no hero academia. But I have been reading OPM, Mob Psycho 100, Apple Black from saturday am and Comic Republic. I need to catch up on Shingeki No Kyojin and Naruto and is eagerly waiting for the Trill League.

Barbatos.
It's all i'm saying.
This shit could be...f*cking great, and not *just* a blockbuster story.
Big fan of Morrison here, between Return of BW and Multiversity, Snyder better not mess with this!

Howard Porter is back… Haven't seen him since Justice League 3000. God, his years on JLA with Morrison were some of the best of the Justice League. Tower of Babel, Rock of Ages, Identity Crisis, Crisis Times Five, World War Three, American Dreams…

SO. GOOD.

I love batman and all but I feel like this is DC saying "well they love batman! lets just force batman down their throats with a snow shovel!"

Lets not forget that while this fits into the BS event trend of the Big 2 on the surface, this IS by Scott Snyder the guy who gave us Court of Owls whic is the best addition to the Batman mythos since Hush and before that Bane and Harley Quinn

@Ha1frican - exactly. Snyder gets my support on anything he writes from here on out. Even his non Big 2 stuff is brilliant.

Loving this series so far, but I'm still bothered that Joker is running about. We know its the same Joker who died and was reborn with Bruce. So how did he get his insanity and white skin back?

Wow!

All I can say its so nice to see a new fresh idea, (yes granted there are evil dopplegangers throughout the DCU) but a whole Dark Multiverse...

I'm pretty sure thats never been done before...guess DC intend to keep there awesome streak going!!!

SCOTT. SNYDER. If you're not interested in this because of concept or looks that's on you. Just be honest. It's ok. But just like Brubaker writing cap, Ennis on punisher, or Fraction on Hawkeye: if you blame the writing you're a damn liar
