The Dark Multiverse variations of Batman have been a good part of the fun of Dark Nights: Metal and its current sequel Dark Nights: Death Metal, and on November 10 DC is introducing perhaps its next breakout Darker Knight.
Meet the Batman Who Frags, who you DC followers have probably already guessed is a Dark Multiverse mash-up of Lobo and Batman.
Well, it's about fraggin' time.
Upon their introduction, Lobo refers to him as "Frazetta Batman" and "Bat-Bastich," and that's just the start of the hijinks.
As you'll read in the following preview of the 48-page one-shot Dark Nights: Death Metal Infinite Hours Exxxtreme! #1, the Batman Who Frags is a Bruce Wayne who injects himself with Czarnian DNA to enhance his strength and healing factor, which makes you kind of start to wonder why the Bruce Wayne of Earth-Prime hasn't enhanced himself like so many of his Dark Multiverse counterparts have, but that's a discussion for another day.
"Pull up a chair, ya bastiches—it's time for Uncle Lobo's Infinite Hour!" reads DC's self-aware description. "It's your chance to let the Main Man Lobo-tomize you with familiar yet freaky stories of the DC Universe, exactly as he remembers them: with blood and guts and exxxtreme gratuitous violence! Tell yer comics guy to put you down for alllll the copies!"
The one-shot is written by Frank Tieri, Becky Cloonan "and others" with art by Dale Eaglesham "and others." Kyle Hotz and Rafael Grampa provide the covers.
