Batman Death Metal

In 2020, DC Comics unleashed Batman Death Metal, a 11-issue event series from Urban Comics that pushed the Dark Knight and his world to apocalyptic extremes. Written by Scott Snyder and drawn primarily by the visceral, kinetic art of Greg Capullo (credited as "Puppeteer Lee"), this saga follows a twisted, rock-and-roll-infused nightmare where the Batman Who Laughs has remade the DC Universe in his own horrific image. A sprawling, bombastic culmination of Snyder's Batman run, it matters as a high-stakes, creatively unhinged finale that redefines the stakes of heroism and legacy in the face of absolute darkness.
