Dark Nights: Metal - Dark Knights Rising by Dan Abnett, Peter J. Tomasi, Joshua Williamson, Scott Snyder, Frank Tieri, Grant Morrison, Sam Humphries, James Tynion IV
5.0
This is probably my favorite of the Dark Knight: Metal related books. I took an interest in the series after learning about The Batman Who Laughs, and if you're into stories of the multiverse where Bruce Wayne's life goes horribly wrong, this is absolutely the book for you.
It is, in essence, a collection of short stories about failure. Each one is about a Batman who goes horribly astray, making choices that corrupt their bodies and mind, and each finding out they exist in the Dark Multiverse, in worlds that are built to break. It's one of the more grim stories I've seen play out in a DC series, and part of what makes it compelling is it's all tragic. No one gets out of these stories intact.
If you're looking for a darker, different take on Batman, this is a must read.
