DC's DARK NIGHTS: METAL Is Bigger Than Anyone Imagined And There'll Be Endless Surprises To Come

Skelator is now in the DC U?

I've bought the issues but haven't read it yet.

WHAT THE [frick]?!?!

The comic isn't even [frick]ing out yet & they are spoiling it?

Still I am sooo goddamn hyped for this. Capullo is my favorite artist & im glad he's back doing DC characters. This book will be insane

I guess I should read these two prequels before Wednesday.

BRING IT!!!!!

This shut is gonna be rock concert insane just based on The Forge and Casting.
I can't wait for The Terrifics.

Damn Daniel. Back at it again with the white robes.

So... wait, so The New 52's Justice League Dark acted as a prelude to Preludes and now we have Daniel confirmed as the post-Flashpoint Dream and the map of the multiverse shows that the realms of The Endless are beyond The Bleed, so....

Does that all mean that the events of Neil Gaiman's Sandman are kinda cyclic and Daniel will be Dream for a reboot of those events? 'Cause that's pretty cool. I'd be up for a canonised reboot of those characters and events, in Rebirth, to a degree.

Also, this Dark Nights: Metal seems really in keeping with the themes of Rebirth (in that it is addressing comics' Dark Age and attempting to move past it and reconcile it with the lighter and more-fun modern age). Having Sandman involved as well as Watchmen is very interesting and a very, very cool move indeed.

It makes me wonder what else we are gonna see, in Dark Nights: Metal.

Maybe they could just throw in all the bad events that Batman had to endure in the Dark Age. Maybe they'll cripple Barbara Gordon again (The Killing Joke), kill Jason Todd again (A Death in the Family), burn down Wayne Manor and have Alfred keel over from a stroke at the scene (Dark Knight Returns), etc. etc. Throw an Earthquake and a plague in there and we're good to go.
They would have to make it all better at the end, though. Uncripple Babs again, bring Jason back to life again, rebuild Wayne Manor and have Alfred recover from his stroke, etc.
Although, maybe they do have some lasting surprises up their sleeves.
Maybe they'll do something like reveal Bruce Wayne's identity and have the world think that Batman is dead, due to the body of one of the Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse, so that he can marry Catwoman and start a new life abroad, Dark Knight Rises style.
Who knows?
