Two New Tales from the Dark Multiverse One-Shots Announced

Kind of pointless posting about these now since October solicitations are coming in a day or two, but whatever.

>TALES FROM THE DARK MULTIVERSE: BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL #1

>In a broken world much like our own, Lois Lane, twisted by rage and grief over the Man of Steel’s death, becomes the Eradicator, taking revenge on those who let Superman die and the corrupt world he could never defeat. Now, with the power of a god, she’s going to end the “never-ending” battle by any means necessary, halting the Reign of the Supermen before it even begins.

>Co-written by Scott Snyder (DARK NIGHTS: METAL, JUSTICE LEAGUE, THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS) and Kyle Higgins (DEATHSTROKE, BATMAN ETERNAL, NIGHTWING: THE NEW ORDER), with art by Javier Fernandez (JUSTICE LEAGUE) and a cover by Lee Weeks (BATMAN), this one-shot takes place in a Gotham City 30 years after a broken Bruce Wayne failed to take back the mantle of the Bat. In his place arose Jean-Paul Valley, also known as Saint Batman. Under his iron rule, Saint Batman has turned Gotham into the city of his dreams – killing has become commonplace and criminals live in constant fear—all in the name of justice.

END

I do not find the dark multiverse what so ever to be interesting.

Probably won't read it legally but I absolutely love the design

I forgot the last line:
>But just when all seems lost, a new hope for Gotham rises: The Son of Bane.


Here's the rest of Federici concept art for this version of Azrael.

Same. It's basically the same idea as "What if" stories, if each one was, "What if this sucked?"

Dictator Lou’s Lane is arguably more interesting than Injustice Superman

Explain how

Oh boy, more of the Batwank Multiverse that the normalfags will still buy and praise even if it's fucking shit just like every other story set in that cesspool

Exactly and they're so convoluted too.
Eradicator Lois?

The #DCeased #5 horror homage cover by Yasmine Putri is beautiful!

Love it.

Lois’s conservative attitude/military upbringing mixed with grief of her husband combined with her access to Kryptonian technology to give herself powers makes more sense for a What If? than Clark going off the deep end to create a one world government

why do liberals think that releasing the same sjw garbage over and over again about angry "empowered" women is ever going to be popular?
they have released the same shit for the last 4 years and all have failed.
meanwhile they have made it impossible to release classic comics with actualy likeable and sexy female protagonists that actually sell because thats "sexist"
do sjw writers have a death wish?
do they want to die of starvation?
I guess that would make sense considering how many sjws love communism even through that always leads to mass starvation

>Eradicator Lois?
what

holy shit even harley quinn has to wear pants now?
this industry is so fucked by feminists

I want to agree with you but you sound like such a retard

I hate SJW pandering as much as the next guy but I think you’re jumping the gun on this one

See

Because Harley Quinn's best costume isn't possibly a full body suit amirite
Fuck off Arkhambaby

>Lois’s conservative attitude
Is your only exposure from lois that one panel from an 2008 election special?

at least it not suydam. Also Jon + Damien + Harley could be an interesting dynamic

Does she molest Jon?

it literally looks like every other female lead comics of the last 4 years.
reminds me a lot of the female furries title which got released not so long ago which had amazing dialogue like this

Are you a casual who’s only read New 52 Lois and onward?

everything can look on halrey if the artists is allowed to draw her sexy.
but since comics only panders to sjws these days she is made unappealing on purpose.
her as well getting a censored outfit just shows this further

So, both have the same premise. Character becomes edgy punisher due to a hero not being there.
Can we have something better than this? Punisher is boring.

>In a broken world much like our own
Cringe.

>only panders to sjws
Depends where you look.

And you're just a tourist who only knows about that one panel from that election special where Lois identifies as a conservative republican because nothing in the special is character accurate.

if you look at a womens breast or butt it certainly is so. they all now get drawn like sticks and are covered up head to toe
meanwhile male heroes have to get topless at least once every weak these days to show of their muscles

Explain to me how Lois is a liberal

The thing is that we already know how lois reacted towards the death of superman and it wasn't to give herself superpowers to take revenge.
The dark multiverse works ass backwards where it's a railroad plot to a bad end. Characters are gonna act unnaturally, things are going to unfold inorganically and ultimately it's gonna go nowhere.

>she doesn't worship the military
>she doesn't hate the poor
>she exposes corruption

Like what OP did.
and they're all set in that same fucking nightmare universe while we're at it!

I could have sworn this was a thing already; Jean-Paul staying Batman.

>DCea/ss/ed

Glad to see my man Lee Weeks getting work, even if just covers. There are really nice.

sounds like treason

That's a lib for ya.

We could've had tales of the regular multiverse instead of this.

>No Paralax Hal
>All written by Snyder
Fucking cringe.

You have a very warped view

can you not read?

>Dark Multiverse opens up whole new realm of potential Elseworlds
>Squandered by Snyder
For fuck's sake even Yea Forums has made better Dark Multiverse prompts than this.

Yes, KNIFEFINGERS IS BACK!

My first exposure to comic books was Knightfall, so, for me, this motherfucker will always have a special place in my heart.

>In a broken world much like our own, Lois Lane, twisted by rage and grief over the Man of Steel’s death, becomes the Eradicator, taking revenge on those who let Superman die and the corrupt world he could never defeat.

that's super gay

>Other stories include The Judas Contract, Blackest Night and Infinite Crisis
>cbr.com/dc-tales-dark-multiverse-death-of-superman-lois-lane-one-shot/
Deathstroke and Terra's story is about to get reaaaaaaally dark.

I was about to say...you thought Slade was a pedo BEFORE...:)

Tbh, it's most likely just going to be that Beast Boy/Changeling joins them and they murder the rest of the Titans.

>Blackest Night
Love Hal.

>Dark Multiverse opens up whole new realm of potential Elseworlds
It was never gonna do that because the dark multiverse is built entirely around the ideas of bad endings. There was never any potential here

I love Loveness

An actual competent writer could twist the Dark Multiverse to mean something that actually makes SENSE to DC's cosmology: they aren't doomed worlds because they're bad endings. They're doomed because they HAVE endings. Contained stories with satisfying conclusions belong there because the story is over, and thus the world that encompassed it serves no purpose.
