10 Insanely Dark Batman Moments The Movies Won't Show You

In terms of darker Batman comics, the entire of Death of the Family would qualify all too well, as until Dark Nights: Metal it sat for some considerable time as the darkest thing put out in DC's recent history.

However, there is still a chance - however small - that some parts of Death of the Family will see conversion to the big screens. With the story being so undeniably iconic, there's real potential for a savvy film studio to capitalise on this with an adaptation that carefully skirts around the comic's grossest parts.

Which means that Damian's portion of the series is without a doubt scrubbed from any potential script. Where every other character's interaction with the Joker isn't totally comprised of complete horror, the youngest Robin has a bug-infested, gore-filled nightmare, complete with the Joker turning his skinned face upside down to create a panel that may genuinely make you nauseous if you see it at the wrong time.

Where many Batman comics dip a toe into the waters of the horror genre, this scene cannonballs in - and so cannonballs out of being in a future film.
