Batman’s DARK NIGHTS: METAL Mini-Series Begins This Week!
There’s no denying how amazing and influential writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo’s BATMAN run was with DC that concluded just before the recent DC REBIRTH rebranding. It was the end of an era…or was it? Seems as if Snyder still has a lot of Bat-stories up his sleeve and re-teaming with Capullo is the icing on the cake!
Snyder and Capullo have big things planned for the caped crusader that will stretch all the way into February 2018 when the METAL mini-series is set to end.
Already on shelves is DARK DAYS: THE FORGE #1 and DARK DAYS: THE CASTING #1 which serve as a prequel of sorts to DARK NIGHTS: METAL #1 on shelves this week.
The superstar BATMAN team of writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo reunite for a massive, universe-spanning event! DARK NIGHTS: THE FORGE and THE CASTING hinted at dark corners of reality that have never been seen till now! Now, as DARK DAYS: METAL begins, the Dark Multiverse is revealed in all its devastating danger-and the threats it contains are coming for the DC Universe! DARK DAYS: METAL is a DC event unlike any other-one that will push Batman, Superman and heroes of the Justice League beyond their limits to take on threats unlike any our world has ever seen! It will take the combined might of the World’s Greatest Heroes as you’ve never seen them before to face what’s coming their way!
I enjoyed THE FORGE and THE CASTING and am definitely interested in seeing where this all goes. While it’s being labeled as a “Batman” event, it seems like the whole gang is being featured here making it look more and more like a proper “Justice League” event. Either way, it looks pretty fun. And word on the street is that Batman may or may not ride a dinosaur at some point in this #1 issue. Just saying.
And for your reference, here is a checklist featuring all the various tie-ins along with some nifty release dates.
