Review of Dark Days

The next big mystery of the DC Universe is here; and the world’s greatest detective
is already on the case.
You may think that the Button just happened and that enough for you right now.
But this event written by Scott Snyder is one you won’t want to miss.
KraKatow!!!
A volcano erupts in the middle of the ocean.
And Batman is trying to save the life of the lone survivor.
The King of the oceans rushes to help.
The man is saved.
But Aquaman has questions.
It wasn’t luck that Batman was there to save this man.
That guy was a Wayne Enterprises employee doing off-the-books research into a metal.
And Aquaman wants to know why it is Batman is drilling in his oceans in such secrecy.
But Batman offers no answers.
He knows what Atlantis has hidden in the depths of the ocean and instead asks what are they
hiding?
As he looks up to a cloaked ship that then vanishes from the sight.
Aqauman isn’t the only Justice League member to question Batman’s mysterious investigation.
Next is Green Lantern.
Green Lantern goes to the Batcave on a secret mission form Ganthet to stop Batman from revealing
secrets that are best kept buried.
When Hal gets there Batman isn’t around.
Instead he is surprised by Duke who has been left by Batman to guard the Cave from everyone
including the Batfamily.
And since Yellow isn’t a weakness to Green Lantern’s ring Duke poses no threat to Hal
and he tosses him aside as Hal finds a secret cave inside the BatCave.
Duke tags along.
In this secret area of the Batcave a voice calls out to them telling them secrets and
explaining that Batman is obsessed with the mysteries of a mysterious metal.
While Batman continues his investigation slowly involving many members of the DC Universe.
Next is Mr. Terrific in the Batcave that’s on the moon.
Then to the Fortress of Solitude where he has a secret room not even Superman goes into.
It has a lock that no human could unlock so he has Mister Miracle unlock it then leaves
him.
And Batman stands there in front of a tower that is giving of Dark Energy.
As Batman stands there analyzing it; the voice in the Batcave calling out to Green Lantern
and Duke is revealed to be the Joker.
Is this one of the three Jokers?
Does this story come after the War of Jokes and Riddles?
What is this mysterious metal?
These are the questions I have for the next issue.
Subscribe if you like this story.
That last page reveal was a shocker.
I was so surprised to see the Joker again.
I’ve been waiting for this since last years announcement that there were three Jokers.
I think it is real fitting for Scott Snyder to be the one writing the tale of the 3 Jokers.
Although I know the name of this event is Metal.
But honestly after seeing that last page all I could think of is the Joker’s connection.
The story was good and I love Scot Snyder as a writer for Batman.
His New 52 run is of my favorite Batman runs.
The problem with multiple artists on a book is the multiple art styles.
It didn’t distract me while I was originally reading it because the story held my attention
so well.
But when I reread it.
I noticed that I loved some of the panels more than others.
What I don’t get is what is Hawkman’s connection to this.
Hawkman wrote a warning in his diary about looking into this metal as it ould only bring
horrors.
And of course Batman isn’t one to heed a warning but I don’t get why Hawkman is involved
in the first place.
Hawkman got his abilities or curse from Nth metal.
We know what metal that is.
So I doubt that it’s the same metal or else someone should have said something.
I mean this metal is connected to many enchanted relics such as Dr. Fate’s helmet and Aquaman’s
Trident.
Hawkman’s been exposed to those before and should have known a connection.
Let me know what you think this mysterious metal is down in the comments.
One other thing I like that the Outsiders were referenced.
Although that isn’t the version I used to read.
I did like the Outsiders so its fun to see that.
I wonder if they will get a book out of this.
I wonder if this will lead to a new universe?
I know this is supposed to be about the Dark Multiverse but I believe it starts in the
main DC Universe.
Do you agree let me know if you think this is a different universe or if it’ll end
in a different universe.
