Dark Days Forge #1 Dark Days Casting #1 Dark Nights Metal #1 Teen Titans #12 Dark Night Metal #2 Batman Red Death #1 Nightwing #29 Batman Murder Machine #1 Suicide Squad #26 Batman Dawnbreaker #1 Green Arrow #32 Dark Nights Metal #3 Batman Drowned #1 Batman Merciless #1 Flash #33 Batman Devastator #1 Justice League #32 Batman Lost #1 Hal Jordan #32 Batman Who Laughs #1 Justice League #33 Dark Nights Metal #4 Hawkman Found #1 Dark Nights Metal #5 Dark Nights Metal #6
No one is pointing a gun to your head. Also it's so Doomsday Clock can go without having any tie ins

>Hawkman Found #1 >Hawkman Found #1 >Hawkman Found #1
Anthony Miller
>8 fucking #1 Batman titles >countless more feature him Is this a joke?
Elijah Jones
As far as I can see these are the actual tie-ins?
Teen Titans #12 Nightwing #29 Suicide Squad #26 Green Arrow #32 Flash #33 Justice League #32 Hal Jordan #32 Justice League #33
I have no interest in this "Everyone is Batman" event but I'm not reading most of these int he first place. Suicide Squad in particular is godawful and the crossover will probably improve it.
Nathan Harris
its has 18 single issues as tie-ins.
thats not that much compared to normal Marvel/DC events.
also most of them won't matter to the actual event story (except for Batman Lost/Hawkman Found which we know nothing about, all the Batman ones are just one-offs showing the multiverse)
Austin Baker
I think Titans, Nightwing, Squad, and Green Arrow are all a 4 part story tying in like Lazarus Contract
Henry Bailey
I don't have an interview or tweet or whatever on hand, but I'm almost positive DC pitched this event as only consisting of Forge, Casting, and the six issues of Metal. I don't think anything else was even mentioned until Forge had already been out for a few days.
David Reed
No, they always mentioned those were the essential books, not that there would never be tie ins.
Tyler Davis
thats mostly because of when solicits came out in relation to when the issues came out.
but you're also correct because the Batman mash-up one-shots are just things to expand the story but not actually affect it (since its a multiversal story)
Camden Ward

It looks like Justice League #32 will be pencilled by an artist other than Pasarin or Hitch.
Thomas Williams
Forgot that
Austin White
I'm a sucker for evil doppelgangers so I'm pretty interested in seeing what is being cooked up here.
Brandon Brooks

Samuel Barnes
Not really.
Luke Taylor

Ryan Stewart

Juan Cruz
Jan and Feb don't even have any tie ins idiot
Caleb Gomez
they're not double shipping it, and there are only 7 monthly books affected (for one issue each, except JL getting 2), so it won't disrupt the entire line.
things will be okay.
Elijah James
man someone got tired by the time it was time to design the Aquabat and Green Lanbat emblems
Luke Peterson
whats the one above GL? Hawkman?
Hunter Evans
Are you retarded or just an apologist?
Ryan Hughes
I plan on skipping this event entirely and enjoy my current ongoings and wait for Doomsday Clock.
Jordan Miller
Doomsday I believe
Ian Reed
8 tie-ins over 9 months isn't really very many. Especially when all of those series except 1 is a twice monthly.
Andrew Watson
thats October, right?
Oliver Thomas
well The Forge was actually pretty good, so I'm definitely interested in seeing where it goes from here
Evan Parker
Im not getting any of those random main line issues because i'm not pulling those but I'm interested in some of the batman fusion books.
Benjamin Butler
November
Cameron Murphy
They're about dark multiversal counterparts to batman. They got Snyder and Capullo on this, how are you even remotely surprised
Christopher Flores
It's only single shipping, it's got 6 main books and 2 extras that Snyder wanted to be #0 and #1, but DC said no because they're not essential and Capullo wasn't doing the art.
You're complaining that DC are doing an 8 book event coming out monthly, what's wrong with that? It's not as if every book is going to be tied in and derailed for months
Gabriel Ramirez
If Marvel did this, Sup Forums would be literally shitting the bed with anger and shitposting
Asher Foster
Remember, this is NOT a Batman event.
Jordan Flores
This
Parker Roberts
This isn't like a Marvel event. All these tie-ins are one issue minus Justice League, but that comic sucks so who cares. These books are also all double shipping so you're not going 2 months without the normal story.
I sound like a stupid apologist.
Caleb Bailey
Marvel did this with Monster Unleashed, tie-ins that did not affect the regular books, and Sup Forums insulted them. They did a quick few-months long event with IvX, and Sup Forums hated it. Because, of course, the stories were shit, but if we look at the publishing strategies DC deserves to be insulted too. Fucking way too many issues #1. Way too many Batman. It's retarded.
Nathan Young
It's not like those issue #1s are ongoings. They're just one-shots. Would it be better if they all said ONE SHOT instead of #1?
Jonathan Barnes
But marvel does one-shots for their events too. The gimmick of the one-shot is to sell a number #1 to casual readers, because #1 sells. And that's why DC is making a shitton of one-shots and they probably will do it again with the watchmen event.
Joshua Jackson
They're already on record saying Doomsday Clock has no tie-ins, so we'll see if they're dumb enough to cause that big of a PR mess.
Joshua Campbell
...
Ryder Hernandez
I know you are triggered because marvel legacy is shit but cal down
Jose Russell
>has no tie-ins They probably don't count one-shots as tie-ins, because I don't fucking believe they'll miss out on this. They said "It will have an impact on the entire DC Universe" which could mean that the main story is a single issue or limited series, and then we'll get millions of one-shots and tie-ins aftermaths dealing with the new status quo.
You autistic shills, i'm saying both are bad.
Jason Thomas
I assume the DCU status quo is going to be affected by the event regardless, so yes there most likely will be an aftermath.
Adam Sullivan
What is this meme called again?
Ian Cruz
don't know what's going on here, but i swear from OP, this exact thing happens in an episode of Darkwing Duck.
Josiah Gutierrez
>No Outlaws >No Deathstroke
Justin Morales
>that one BvS parody about Batman versus every other hero It's basically real now
Hudson Adams
Wow an event has tie-ins. Colour me shocked
Julian Reyes
Wojack posting. It's Sup Forums cancer and further proof that modern Sup Forums is just Sup Forums but with comic books
Ian Reed
That's a shitload of comics that I'm not buying.
Thanks for the fatter wallet, DC. Care to release some Swamp Thing or Zatanna - or any fantasy stuff for that matter - and lighten it a little?
Jaxon Nguyen
>hipsters mad that the most popular DC hero is getting a mini-event instead of their special snowflake d-listers
wew
Owen White
it's okay for me, easier on my wallet
Ayden Allen
i think it's just DC having some spare reputation capital to spend because rebirth was relatively successful.
Parker Gray
which comic is this from?
Luke Williams
Didn't Snyder say he asked if the creators wanted to be apart of it? So the ones not be interested
Normally I don't engage in company wars, but DC is about to btfo the other side.
The Batcow won't stop. Hopefully the money they make for this can help them launch some stuff like Plastic Man, Firestorm, Power Girl or Captain Marvel.
Eli Scott
It's from the Charles Soule run of Swamp Thing
Julian Brooks
Quit being a bitch and just read the main series if you're just going to whine like this. DC has been notoriously good at not overcrowding their events lately (or at least doing unique things with them), and now this one time, where they still only have a handful of one-shots and a tangential crossover with GA/Nightwing/TT/SS, you just have to bitch about it, don't you?
I'm not sure if you're aware, but you don't HAVE to read every single issue if you don't want to.
Andrew Bailey
I ain't mad. It's not Batman's fault that DC only uses my favorite special snowflake d-lister in guest appearances every couple of years.
Jeremiah Martin
An excuse to post this.
Henry Watson
Don't forget that goes until February so you have 24 (25 but 1# is out) issues in 8 (Not counting June) months. That's 3 issues per month. From the 24 the 16 are only from the event, 8 months, 2 issues per month.
So if you want to buy everything, it's a lot.
Kevin Johnson
>monsters unleashed comes out right after another event >immediately ignored >most anons didn't even know it ended >they were even more confused when an ongoing was announced because it was also called monsters unleashed
You have to understand that DC can do something like this because they don't abuse events. This thing is only taking a few issues of some comics and has tie ins that are easily ignored. It's not hijacking all comics forcing you to buy into an event you can't ignore.
And this is focused on Batman, he sells comics.
Jacob Allen
No, Sup Forums is Tumblr garbage. At least Sup Forums has a backbone.
Josiah Cox
Why would you want those to be derailed by being tie-ins though?
Nicholas Morgan
And they still couldnt make batman the enemy
It always has to be some sort of alternate universe batman or a villain using batman's plans.
when will batman become the actual villain?
Camden Bell
Because I like cock.
Gabriel Brown
When will Superman? Or Wonder Woman? or Green Lantern?
Jose Mitchell
>what is injustice >what is parallax >lol who cares about wondy
Bentley Ross
Zatanna is in the current Detective Comics arc if you can stand Tynion writing. It's about them fighting some sort of Super Inquisitor from the Order of St Dumas
Elijah Morgan
>everyone is Batman: the dark multiverse! Kek
Jack White
alernate universe? are you fucking stupid?
Jeremiah Cooper
>Teen Titans #12 >Nightwing #29
Isaiah Smith
Geoff johns likes this kind of shit.
Nathan Cox
Didn't Teen Titans just get out of a crossover? Are sales numbers really that bad?
Matthew Young
I'm sorry, DC can't hear you over all the money they plan to make from this.
Christopher Rivera
They better sell those Batman symbols as T-shirts
Logan Miller
38 in the top 100 ;) sales are good.
Jeremiah Mitchell
Top 100 isn't much of an accomplishment. Below that you start getting into cancellation territory
Gavin Rogers
I'm going to take a look at Hawkman Found in case it includes some sweet cosmic tidbits but other than that I'm already so done with this event
Juan Ramirez
Find them, made them yourself as t-shirt.
Asher Garcia
I'd be shocked if they didn't try to pump out as much merch from Batman-related shit as they possibly could.
