10 Reasons Batman Is RUINING DC Comics

4. The Dark Multiverse

As mentioned before the DC Multiverse is filled with various Batmen of all shapes and sizes, and if that wasn't enough, there is an entire Dark Multiverse spawned from a Batman-inspired Dark God - not to mention the twisted Justice League inspired Batmen that attempted to colonize the Prime-Earth. Never before had the shadow of Batman been felt on such a staggering level.

The Dark Multiverse was a promising addition to the DC landscape but failed to make an impact after the Dark Knights Metal event. Besides the Batman Who Laughs and the lacklustre New Age of Heroes, the Dark Multiverse has very little to show for DC's efforts. Fortunately, the Dark Multiverse still has potential as there are countless opportunities for Dark counterparts of the heroes and even more twisted versions of the villains.

The five-issue limited run Tales from the Dark Multiverse hinted at the future of the Dark Multiverse as it reimagined classic DC events through a cracked mirror. Imagine a twisted version of the Flash of Two World's as Barry Allen and Jay Garrick tear each other apart for each other's speed, or a drowned Earth after a war with Atlantis.

With Death Metal on the horizon, the Dark Multiverse could have a second wind as a staple in the DC landscape.
