DC’s been teasing the evil versions of Batman for weeks now ahead of Dark Nights: Metal‘s August release. At San Diego Comic Con today, the publisher released the first looks at the anticipated characters: The Red Death, The Murder Machine, The Dawnbreaker, The Drowned, the Merciless and The Devastator.
Read the press release below:
After teasing comic book fans with ominous shadow images of six evil Batmen from the Dark Multiverse several weeks ago, their final, terrifying images were revealed earlier this morning Comic-Con International: San Diego.
Each of these malevolent characters – The Red Death, The Murder Machine, The Dawnbreaker, The Drowned, the Merciless and The Devastator – all represent corrupted versions of Batman set upon the DC universe to help conquer it once and for all, as part of the DARK NIGHTS: METAL event beginning this August.
