Dark Knights: Death Metal is the sequel to the smash-hit 2017-18 series Dark Nights: Metal, which brought widespread changes to the DC universe and introduced fans to the Dark Multiverse and a runaway-hit villain, the Batman Who Laughs.”
“When the Earth is enveloped by the Dark Multiverse, the Justice League is at the mercy of the Batman Who Laughs,” reads DC’s description of Death Metal. “Humanity struggles to survive in a hellish landscape twisted beyond recognition, while Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman, who have all been separated, fight to survive.”
*PLEASE NOTE* DC did not announce whether the Dark Nights: Death Metal: Band Edition will be available in North America and the U.K.
