10 METAL Moments From Dark Nights: Metal

10. Batman Evades The Justice League

Batman is considered one of the most dangerous members of the Justice League. With time for planning and preparation the World's Greatest Detective can accomplish more than anyone, and Bruce Wayne's determination and willpower are cornerstones of the character. While most consider the Dark Knight fearless, Metal shows us Batman in a different light.

As Bruce connects the dots that are signaling the arrival of Barbatos, a villain he has met in the past, his behavior becomes erratic. When it is explained that Barbatos plans to use Wayne as a doorway, he takes it upon himself to find a solution.

Choosing to leave the Justice League in the dark (pun intended), a panicked Batman steals the last piece of Nth metal from Kendra Saunders escaping by riding a dinosaur. He then leads the League on a wild goose chase, complete with holograms, dinosaurs and enough Batmen to aid in his evasion.

With every hero available in hot pursuit, Batman is able to escape most of the league undetected by using some of the members of the Bat-Family as decoys. It is not until Wonder Woman and Superman finally figure out Bruce's plan, that they find their elusive teammate.
