Set outside the main continuity of this DC Universe, Dark Nights: Metal is an Elseworlds event that imagines what happens when the darkest possible versions of Batman escape from a twisted multiverse of failed realities. As an ancient force unleashes these nightmare Batmen upon the main DC Universe, heroes from across the franchise must unite to face a threat unlike anything they have encountered before. Combining horror, multiversal action, and high-stakes spectacle, this standalone crossover explores how even the greatest heroes can become the universe's greatest monsters when hope is lost.
