DC Comics' 'Dark Nights: Metal' To Be Released as Exclusive Vinyl Picture Disc". Broadway World. August 27, 2018. Johnson, Jim (September 14, 2017). "Review: Dark Nights: Metal #2 Shows Batman's Importance to the DCU". CBR . Retrieved 2017-10-04.The idea of creating a dark multiverse came from Snyder, who was inspired by watching the science documentary television series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey with his five-year-old son. He became fascinated with the concept of dark matter, prompting him to question "What if the Multiverse essentially has these 52 universes, but has almost this ocean of possibility, this ocean of almost reactive matter beneath it that's like a Dark Multiverse". [1] Aside the seven featured Dark Knights in the finished comic book, Snyder planned more dark Batmen that got ultimately cut; these included a Punisher-esque Batman, a dark magic-wielding Batman, a Batman who grew up as a patient in Arkham Asylum after being accused of his parents' murder, a Batman who merged with his whole rogues gallery and one who merged with Gotham City itself. [3] While Flash #33 is the most direct follow-up to Metal #3, Batman: The Devastator makes the most sense after you’ve already consumed Metal #3. Devastator references specific events that happen in Metal #3, and would otherwise spoil or confuse the main event issue. The Gotham resistance continue to fend off the invasion of the Batman Who Laughs and a Gotham turned inside out. The Return of Bruce Wayne is a 6-issue miniseries which spins out of Final Crisis #6. This features the other appearance ofthe Bat-Demon Barbathos.

Over the course of 52 issues, their Batman consistently impressed, and is quite simply one of my 50 favorite comics of all time. As such the entire run is highly recommended reading.

"Dark Nights: Metal – Superman's Crucial Role, Revealed". CBR . Retrieved 2017-10-13.Given the insanely talented creative team-up of Jeff Lemire and Bryan Hitch, I wanted to like Hawkman Found significantly more than I did. It’s a fine comic, but with significantly more questions than answers, to the point that I’m not sure how much this issue contributes that the core event wouldn’t already cover. Since Metal is so comparatively tight (for an event), I wouldn’t actually skip, but if you’re strapped for time or cash, you can. Comic Book Roundup gave issue #2 an average score of 8.8 out of 10 based on 37 critics. [24] Jim Johnson of CBR praised the issue, and the story-line, for giving Batman a larger role in the DC Universe, saying " Dark Nights: Metal, though, has so far not only given his character fantastically plausible reasons to get out of Gotham, but to take a central role in a storyline that reaches much farther." [32] Schedeen gave it an 8.5 saying "While Metal still has a few kinks to iron out before it can rival the best of Snyder and Capullo's work, the series is delivering plenty of drama and spectacle as it explores the collision between the DCU and the Dark Multiverse."
