About the series
In 2017, DC Comics unleashed Batman: The Murder Machine, a single-issue one-shot from writers Frank Tieri and James Tynion IV, with striking art by Riccardo Federici. Part of the "Dark Nights: Metal" event, it reimagines Batman as a cybernetic nightmare—a fusion of man and machine born from his deepest fear of failing those he protects. This dark, self-contained story matters as a key piece of the larger Metal saga, offering a chilling alternate take on the Dark Knight's legacy.
