DC calls the special an "absolute must-read" for readers of the current Death Metal event.
"If you've been reading Dark Nights: Death Metal, you know the world as we understand it is gone," reads DC's description. "Instead, our planet has been transformed into a nightmarish hellscape overseen by the Batman Who Laughs – or as he's known now, the Darkest Knight – and his many minions. But how did this happen?"

"This lone figure has been watching and recording – putting together a remarkable guidebook that could help our heroes in their plan to rid our world of this nightmare once and for all," continues the publisher's description. "Within his guidebook are answers to questions that we've all been wondering. How did Wonder Woman become the queen of Hell? How did Batman find the Black Lantern ring? And how did Harley Quinn end up with a hyena that’s roughly the size of an elephant? (Though we’re willing to just go with that last one. It IS Harley after all.)"
