8 Superheroes Who Saw The End Of The World
6. Batman & The Joker - Last Knight On Earth
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's 'last' Batman story positioned the Caped Crusader in one of the gnarliest post-apocalyptic landscapes in comic book history when it released in 2019.
The story is all kinds of wild, and that makes sense, given it essentially marked the end of Snyder and Capullo's already epic decade-long journey with the character. The duo masterminded a critically acclaimed stint on the Dark Knight from 2011 onwards, and while Dark Nights Metal could lay a claim for being just as ridiculous in all the best ways, it doesn't have a headless Joker Batman has to carry around and talk to, or weird power-ring conjured babies who attack passers-by.
Oh, and that's not to mention the Speed Force storms either, which are powered by all the Earth's crazed Flashes and cause anyone caught in them to age catastrophically in a matter of seconds.
The less said about Last Knight's story, the better, as it really must be read to be believed. Just know that it's all kinds of weird and wonderful, and that, as far as bookends to years-long comic book runs go, it's pretty darn great.
