DC has announced the sequel to Dark Knights: METAL and revealed the cover of issue 1:


DARK KNIGHTS: DEATH METAL




Quote:

The Earth has been consumed by Dark Multiverse energy, having been conquered by the Batman Who Laughs and his evil lieutenants, corrupted versions of Shazam, Donna Troy, Supergirl, Blue Beetle, Hawkman, and Commissioner Jim Gordon. Some heroes, like Wonder Woman and the Flash, have made compromises as they negotiate to keep humanity alive in this hell-born landscape. Others, like Batman, are part of an underground resistance looking to take back control of their world. Superman is imprisoned, cursed to literally power Earth’s sun for eternity.

But a mysterious figure provides Wonder Woman with vital information she might be able to use to rally Earth’s remaining heroes to resist the Batman Who Laughs. Can the Justice League break away from the Dark Multiverse and defeat Perpetua, the evil mother of the DC Multiverse?

Issues 1, 2, 3 drop in May, June, July and Issues 4, 5, 6 drop in September, October, November. This one changes everything, not a cliche, a guarantee.

This is the event that is expected to lead into DC's much mentioned 5G era (fifth generation era) of superheroes, with all the DC major heroes aging and being replaced by newer and younger characters. The rumored list is below in spoilers if you haven't seen it.

SPOILER: show


Luke Fox - Batman
Adult Jonathan Kent - Superman
New WW
New GL
New Aquaman
New Flash

and so forth...


These changes have been rumored to come from Warner Bros, who said DC Comics major characters are not diverse enough, too male and too white.

To appease older fans DC expects to write non-canon stories starring the traditionally known characters for their Black Label line, per BleedingCool.
