Dark Nights: Metal
The Dark Nights series explores a DC Universe threatened by a dark multiverse. Batman discovers a hidden history and faces twisted versions of himself. This science fiction comic event features high stakes and a heavy tone.
The core Dark Nights: Metal storyline is part of a larger DC Comics event. To fully experience the narrative, readers often begin with the one-shot Dark Days: The Forge and Dark Days: The Casting, which set up the main Metal series.
Dark Nights: Metal is a pivotal event that directly follows the events of DC Rebirth and introduces significant concepts and characters that influence subsequent storylines, including the Justice League series and the Death Metal event.
The series features numerous tie-in one-shots focusing on the 'Dark Knights' characters, such as Batman: The Red Death and Batman: The Drowned, which expand on the alternate universe versions of Batman introduced in the main story.
