The Batman Who Laughs arrived as part of 2017’s Dark Nights: Metal series, where the regular DC Universe was invaded by the “Dark Multiverse” - an ever-changing collection of universes literally created from the nightmares and fears of those living in the regular multiverse.
The Batman Who Laughs, however, may just be the more significant threat in the grand scheme of things, purely because he’s so sneaky - he’s literally a Batman whose morality has been destroyed by exposure to the Joker’s mind-altering “venom.” To make matters worse, the two are apparently working together… kind of. In terms of sheer power, Perpetua is by far the bigger threat she’s the mother of three cosmic beings who created entire universes, and has significant control over the building blocks of reality herself. 8, and the Batman Who Laughs, an alternate reality version of Bruce Wayne who first showed up in 2017’s Dark Days: The Casting No. The two primary antagonists of the story as it led into Death Metal were both relatively new characters: Perpetua, who first appeared in 2018’s Justice League No. The Hollywood Reporter has a guide to the primary points of the story so far, as it relates to Death Metal and the wider DC comic book universe - and some speculation as to what lies in store for Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman et al in the future, as well. So, how can those looking to jump into Death Metal to support comic stores know what came before as they pick up the first issue? Glad you asked. The first issue of Death Metal is far from the start of the story indeed, Death Metal is, in fact, the culmination of a larger narrative that has run across a number of different DC comic books over the last few years, including Justice League, the Year of the Villain titles and The Batman Who Laughs. 1 isn’t just the beginning of DC’s big summer comic book storyline it’s also the launch of the first major comic book publishing event since the industry returned from its COVID-19-related hiatus. Today’s release of Dark Nights: Death Metal No.
