10 Most Bizarre DC Crossover Events Since 2000
6. Dark Nights: Metal
If there's one way to do a DC crossover that's both dark and incredibly bizarre (and not called Doomsday Clock), it's feature a lineup full of alternate, demented versions of Batman that have assumed the powers of other DC heroes and villains.
The Dark Nights: Metal crossover event has not only given us an exceptionally morbid new Batman tale, but also opened the door to the multiverse, showing what the Dark Knight could have been like had things worked out just a bit differently for him.
Whether it's becoming a murderous version of the Green Lantern after witnessing the death of his parents or killing the Flash to obtain the speed force after being driven to the brink of insanity, prime Bruce Wayne should really count himself lucky, all things considered.
The true poster boy for Dark Nights: Metal's weirdness, however, is The Batman Who Laughs - a villain from an alternate universe who was birthed after Batman was infected by the Joker.
He's beyond creepy just on his own, but the fact that he also roams around with three demon Robins on chain leashes just makes his overall demeanor that much more unsettling.
