More DC news from San Diego Comic-Con. DC looks to be on fire as they tease even more from the blessed reunion of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, the event known as Dark Nights: Metal.
In June, we reported that for Metal, fans would be introduced to six corrupted versions of our dear Dark Knight Detective, each to receive their special one-shot leading up the big event. Unfortunately, we didn’t exactly know they’d look like. We just knew their names and their basic appearance.
Well, this morning, at SDCC 2017, DC unveiled the final designs!
Check them out below:
From L to R: The Murder Machine, The Red Death, The Devastator, The Merciless, The Drowned, The Dawnbreaker
As was hinted to earlier, these Batmen seem to be not only corrupted versions of Batman, but also of other key members of the Justice League. I’ll let you figure out who’s who.
Check out the official press release below for the release dates on all the one-shots:
After teasing comic book fans with ominous shadow images of six evil Batmen from the Dark Multiverse several weeks ago, their final, terrifying images were revealed earlier this morning Comic-Con International: San Diego.
Each of these malevolent characters – The Red Death, The Murder Machine, The Dawnbreaker, The Drowned, the Merciless and The Devastator – all represent corrupted versions of Batman set upon the DC universe to help conquer it once and for all, as part of the DARK NIGHTS: METAL event beginning this August.
