Okay this one was really good, even though it was an inner monologue like last one, but this time the monologue is directed at superman, and this time we get an actual origin story, not just a glimpse like the wonder woman based batman one.
I am probably not going to make it through another comic, but today has been great reading already, I can't possibly wish for more.
Issue is villain batmen are always coming out of a tragedy, a tragedy made them what they are, not a choice to be evil, except maybe the red death one, he made a horrible choice when he choose to kill the flash.
Anyway we are back on track with the 4 star rating, I hope it continues because the target is to have fun, not to be grumpy over books.

It's weird to say, but The Devastator is the least destructive and the least "hell yeah metal"-feeling of the evil Batmen so far. I mean, that dude is f*cking Doomsday-Bat and all he did is some fetch me errand mission plus unleashing some DDay virus. No sir, there is no Death of Superman-ish type of battle where the fight is a brutal mano-a-mano.
In fairness though, there are some awesome action scenes which is almost a BvS ripoff and another one with Lobo. Those fight scenes are the ones I have expected from a comics like this, guilty-pleasure dumb action fun. But unfortunately, they're not enough.
In the end however, The Devastator is worth your time and money. This tie-in issue is unskippable for DC Metal completists and gives out some necessary details to beef up the whole Metal experience.

Not as good as Dawnbreaker, but not as bad as the Drowned.

Another good Dark Nights tie-in. I don’t really feel that this Batman is all that evil though considering everything that happened to him.

These story lines are actually awesome. I cool twist, grim and dark- not for the faint hearted. I love it how DC is setting up this universe, and potential new threads of story.

Didn't really like this one much... was definitely better than drowned but like I'm so confused as to why Supes was bad in this? There was no backstory explaining it, just yeah he's bad so Bruce stuck himself with the Doomsday virus... I mean he looks freaking badass but honestly that's about the only thing it's got going for it. That scene with Lois and Jon though was heartbreaking. Many feels in that moment 😭😭😭

I thought maybe I'd read too much of this line today to enjoy more issues, but I seem to have been mistaken. It's just that the last issue (Flash #33) wasn't very good.
This one, however, was pretty darned interesting. I liked the skip of the how and why (and that the writer tells you in their own, blatant way to do so) and get right to the meat of what happens next.
The philosophy of it all is what made this book worth reading.

Geodude on steroids
I’d be lying if I said these tie-ins weren’t getting pretty repetitive. Either way, I do like this one. The art is top notch and the reasoning behind Batman turning to Barbados is understandable and sometimes powerful. The scenes with Lois Lane, in particular, were well done. Letter Grade: (B)

I couldn't decide whose side to take. Although, Devastator makes a convincing statement on why not to put all your faith in Superman. This is my favorite amongst the Dark Nights titles. The characters look great. Superb artwork.

A twisted metal mish mash of Batman, Elseworlds & DC Crisis...
When Superman murders Lois Lane, Bat man infects himself with the Doomsday Virus and creates DoomBat.

Don't curr what ya'll say, the tie-ins keep getting better

Okay, this Batman Dark Nights Metal story was pretty good. A Doomsday version of Batman. What will DC think of next? Still, the story just seems to be going on a little too long.

Alright, these are getting redundant, but I quite liked this one. It was pretty zombie-like, but it was polished.

This is a 4.5 for me but it was still fantastic! I loved seeing this backstory; it was very interesting and a unique take on this character. I am excited to read more!

This ends the Batman versus Superman debate. Batman wins!

Love how this touches upon the old debate of whether Batman can defeat Superman.

batman and superman’s friendship is special, period.

Isso realmente foi incrível.

It is really difficult to rate these tie ins separately, as their structure is quite similar: Batman loses something, gets utterly mad, kills somebody from justice league while getting their powers, realizing that he is in a dying universe and unleashing hell unto ours. A strange breed of fan service that I did not read without joy.

August 6, 2018Me gustó esta historia, aunque sigo sin entender del todo la secuencia de las hstoras. ¿En qué punto exactamente se desarrolla este cómic?, ¿antes o después de Metal #3?
