>>94686121
Fourth World Assassin sent by Darkseid to kill Bruce over and over again ala Gold Experience Requiem. Each death would bring him closer to "the present" while filling Barbatos with energy and once he got there, Barbatos would reach critical mass and explode, killing everything there.

Bruce cheated by using a time machine to send him to the very end of time where there wouldn't be anything to kill and where technology would be advanced enough to weaken Barbatos so that when they were wrenched to the present the League would be capable of beating it.

Upon its banishment, Barbatos was sent backwards through time and commissioned agents like Thomas Wayne/Simon Hurt to assault the Batman legacy in his stead by giving them metahuman abilities. He lost more and more power the further into the past he got until he was reduced to a large prehistoric and very mortal bat creature that was slain by a recently enhanced Vandal Savage.

I don't know why you'd want a Hawkman ongoing by Snyder. It's preferable to Bryan Hitch, but I'm still confused. He's never written Hawkman before. Or shown interest in it.
I'd rather see him do another horror character, like Spectre.

tl;dr- should I read All-Star?

>>94686460
>He's never written Hawkman before. Or shown interest in it.
You do realize it was entirely Snyder idea to have Hawkman be a central point in this event and it's because he's been interested in the character for years?

This is just Forever Evil except Snyder is bitter about how Batman jobbed during that event.

>>94686723
Is that to say he's not as significant in all-star as has been suggested? To apply some reference, I enjoy the batman ongoing and detective comics as long as Batwoman isn't in the scene, would I enjoy all-star?

>>94685511
>BOOYAH!

This is the best part of the page.

>>94685511
Snyder definitely had his eye on the reactions for Monster Men when he was writing this scene.


I fucking love it.

Is it me or is Capullo just not great this issue?
He doesn't use any of his typical lighting in the colouring which makes sense since they're pushing this as a JL-story even though Batman is the central figure but this flat colouring is boring as shit. Why not go a bit more nuts wit an event called Metal?
All of the other heroes also look sketchy compared to Batman, Bogdanovik now does a better Capullo Superman than Capullo himself.

Maybe he wanted to be less-stylized since it's an event for everyone but it's really just meh

Gaiman said that he'd contacted DC, and they'd assured him they weren't going to introduce a character called Dr Endless. And they're not. But they were obviously previously intending to - hence the decision to cancel the release of The Black Files at the last minute and pulp the issues, allowing 'art changes' to be made.

bitch it was literally just one page of the mega mech, and it literally just stood there. It made no movement or interesting action. It would've been fun if it actually did something cool instead of (((quip)))

Not necessarily. When they banish it through time the caption says "anything they touch turns to myth", and the last couple pages show the bells of barbatos are still ringing

>>94685589
Wait so how does this Dark multiverse fit with the antimatter multiverse? Is there even such a thing as the antimatter multiverse?

And dark multiverse? How fucking creative bankrupt do you have to be

>>94685651
On one hand, yay for additions to the Hyper Crisis. On the other hand... Snyder... Fuck.

>>94687269
yes. he was killed by destro a bit ago

>>94687328
sorry m8, I'm just pissed. Thing is for the past few years I always, always give Snyder's work a shot but it always ends up being bad and disappointing imo. I can just tell from the dialogue and panelling and pacing and structure and all that shit that they didn't put much time thought or effort into constructing a genuinely meaningful and decent piece of craft.

>>94687307
gaiman was on board for this

>>94687368
Snyder is the anti-hypercrisis out to take away all the deep interesting aspects of DC and replace with that one thing he wrote about that one time.

>>94687336
Given its name is the Hyper-Adapter, it adapting into what we see here isnt out of the question.

>>94687364
there's only one anti-matter universe. if there is a matter universes for matter and an anti-matter one for anti-matter than it makes sense for dark matter to have dark matter universes

Reminder that this event was originally titled Dark Crisis till Johns told Snyder they were toning back on the use of Crisis after Final Crisis and Capullo suggested the name Metal.

>>94687379
it's not that. It's just how poorly I feel Snyder is telling this story. There's nothing really interesting, new or worthwhile in this shit imo

>>94685599
>Whole worlds of nightmare,evil and demons
So they found the warp. Good for them

>>94687392
>toning back on the use of Crisis after Final Crisis

Kinda stupid. Final Crisis isn't supposed to be the "last crisis", just the final one for the Monitors.

>>94687392
Got some sources?

>>94687230
How exactly is that fun? It's barely passable even if you still love Power Rangers.

>>94687412
>>94687392
>>94687413
Actually they felt crisis's were only for continuity realigning events, which still doesn't make sense because final crisis didnt do jack shit besides kill batman and J'ohn

>>94687392

Metal is a terrible name. Dark Crisis is much better ffs

>>94685584
So is Red Tornado built by Magnus now?

>>94687479
>final crisis didnt do jack shit
It removed the monitors. They've had a pretty god damn big impact on Crisis's before.

>>94687479
Infinite Crisis didn't really realign continuity either.

>>94687493
Considering Dr T.O.Morrow is standing right beside Will, no

>>94685553
Red tornado dosent deserve to be forgotten.
>>94685584

All is forgiven Snyder. This is already better than Hitch's entire run.

for what? copying a concept from the (((power))) rangers? That too only using it for one page just to fucking quip and not do any genuinely cool shit

Fuck off with this "DC needs Gaiman's permission to use characters they own" shit Rich.

DC own the characters 110% and can do anything they damn well please with them. They just do Gaiman the curtsy of letting him know if they'll be using them and listen to him if he has any serious objections since they want to keep a good relationship with him.

I don't see what point you're trying to make.

Where does it say there that Gaiman owns the characters? Cite a single fucking source.

>>94687662
At the dawn of humanity there were 3 tribes of people. The end.

>>94687669
>Where does it say there that Gaiman owns the characters? Cite a single fucking source.
Nothing at all.

>>94687662
There was 3 tribes at the start of himanity, who are now repped by immortals
The birds are the hawks
The bear is Vandal Savage
The wolf is Immortal Man

>>94687642
It always bugs me when people speak of Sandman like it was completely separated from DC.

I mean, just the first arc is enough to prove it wrong big time. And so is the final. These people have never read Sandman?

>>94685569
So I guess this confirms that postReborn Supes doesn't have all of his preFlashpoint memories anymore.

This is so dumb and bad that's this is kinda hilarious.

Snyder started ok with black mirror/g
ates of gotham and even the court of owls. Now he is on a weird egotrip doing dumb shit and trying to be Morrison without any subtility. Everuthing seems forced.

Doomsday clock is coming and it's like Snyder wants HIS crisis. Like a baby whim.
Was it the point of this shit ?

Not an actual criticism.

>>94686798
Capullo isn't the one who colors this.

>>94686363
Why wouldn't it?

>>94686138
Gentry have nothing to do with this story.

>>94685627
It partially is.

>>94686438
>What
Autism

>>94687789
Which is even weirder because it's Capullos typical Batman New52 ink and colourist

>>94686138

They had already taken over Multiverse 2 before coming to the New52, but this doesn't seem to be related at all.

Note that Barry claims to be an expert on the multiverse (what?) and says that there are certainly only 52 universes. It's weird since Barbatos going after Bruce through the ages seem like it'd be a Morrison reference.

Sure but sundipping is still a thing in Superman comics, so there are no solid suns that can be crushed in comics either.
If writers have to invent comics book science they could at least try to do it consistently

HArd to explain. Seems like the Junior-self and the guy, who was beheades by the Junior-self arent the real Lobo. Both seem to be new and gone, while the REAL Lobo in the ongoing JLA is the straight-kick-ass 90s Lobo. He even fought a Calypso-powered Superman in JL vs SS.

When did thy get captured?
Did I miss an issue?

>>94688473
yes, it's called ocean of stars for a reason.

>>94685553
They don't know Red Tornado?

See, this here is why the New 52 was a mistake.

I thought Barbatos was just the Myth that grew out of Bruce himself in prehistoric times?

>>94685589
Why not just call it Multiverse-2?

We all know that's what it's going to be.

>>94685702
Diana is also his aunt or something along that line to my recollection.

Yeah he was. Remember COIE didn't happen the same way. Supes, Supergirl, Barry and Parallax went back to sway the fight against the antimonitor faster.

oh boy you're gonna get shredded
it's a major character from Neil Gaiman's Sandman and kind of a big deal when it comes to DC universe

And why do you want people to know?

>>94685584
This is the only thing I genuinely enjoyed of this issue. I like it when they connect lesser-known teams and tie them into the DCU's overarching continuity.

That said, the Batwank is boring.
