The Batman Who Laughs: The Full Story

We have only just scratched the surface of this incredible new villain and his tale is far from over. In June of this year, Scott Synder returned to the Batman Who Laughs' story with Dark Nights: Death Metal. If you thought Dark Nights: Metal was extreme, just know that you've seen nothing yet.

The Darkest Knight now rules over Prime Earth, having sculpted it into his own design. He has control over the heroes left on earth, as well as the Bats from nearly all of the 52 universes - and most terrifyingly, he has a new form. Couple that with his Bat-Army and Rabid Robins and we are talking absolute devastation of everything in the DCU. Unless the Resistance can stop him.

Wonder Woman, Wally West and what's left of Swamp Thing manage to find the Crypt of Heroes, where the first Justice Society are hiding out with Barry Allen, Hex and Bruce Wayne. They are the only ones with the ability to end this, but they don't yet know about the Darkest Knight's new form.

As far as they know, they're winning the fight. How wrong they are.
