COMICS: You Have To See The Doomsday Version Of BATMAN In DARK NIGHTS: METAL

Dark Nights: Metal features seven evil incarnations of Batman and now DC Comics has revealed the Doomsday inspired behemoth known as The Devastator. This guy looks even more brutal than Superman's nemesis!

The corrupted versions of Batman from the Dark Multiverse are a fascinating and terrifying bunch but The Devastator might just be the most horrific version of the Caped Crusader to date. The Devastator #1 comes from the creative team of Frank Tieri and Tony S. Daniel and DC Comics has today unveiled the incredible cover art by Justice League artist Jason Fabok and the monster looks truly fierce here!

As of right now, we don't know a huge amount about the history of this creature but he looks even more powerful and frightening than the Doomsday who has plagued Superman over the years. This one-shot promises to change that, though and The Devastator will be joined by The Murder Machine, The Red Death, The Merciless, The Drowned, The Batman Who Laughs and The Dawnbreaker. 

The plan is for them to battle the Justice League and the Dark Night: Metal tie-ins are set to all feature a different, corrupted version of Batman spawned from the Dark Multiverse to wreak havoc on Earth (in case that wasn't already obvious). What do you guys think of this alternate take on the hero?

Wow. That looks incredible. Even more threatening looking than the actual Doomsday wish I had the money to collect this series. The title is kind of dumb. But this is actually a really intriguing idea. Is the blue one the Batman version of Ares? I claim this spot in the comments section as the Winter Wonderland. In account of my real first name. Lol.

All I can think about is DBZ abridged Vegeta's reaction to Broly.

"he's so cool but he's so dumb but he's so cool but he's so dumb..."

This series is the best thing to happen to DC since Identity Crisis and 52! I wish every book would pause to participate in the event.

Love Fabok, i love this cover.
But this BatDoomsday is trash.

Not the others tho, they have better design, especially Red Death! :Q____

Comic books are really in a sad state. I really feel bad for all the desperation both Marvel and DC are doing.

You get a Batman! You get a Batman! You get a Batman...

EVERYBODY GETS A BATMAN!!!

Seriously, though... Who else is gonna get a Batmash-up? If we're just gonna throw stuff against the wall, how about Swamp Bat? Batanna? The Dark Mxyzptlk?

Well, at least it's obvious to see that this is a character partially based on Doomsday...

Well this comic seems fun. Can't wait to read it. It sounds rediculous, it most likely entertaining

So the dark multiverse is just the group of universes where the heroes are evil? Tryna figure out what would make the multiverse "dark".

woah..... this sounds terrible....

again, this just sounds like the DC execs were sitting around a table like
"you know what they like? Batman! Lets make the whole justice league batman! and make it evil! Lets cram as much batman as we can down their throats!"

I'm a DC guy and I think this gimmick is just freaking terrible

@Demigods - Except that Scott Snyder is writing it. So if anything it should be a good story.
