METAL: Stupid? Fun? Snyder?

I honestly have no clue how to feel about METAL. It's sort of disgusting really, like having a fat kid covered in their own drool manhandling your comics with their Cheetos-dust-covered little fingers.

>Batman is responsible for everything horrible ever, why the fuck should he even be considered a hero after this event?
>It's a good thing nothing is really canon because the amount of important characters scarred for life in this event are racking up to ridiculous levels
>Speaking of: "Waah waah in the dark multiverse our worlds get destroyed after the obvious bad endings so we invade yours" is really fucking stupid considering even the so-called 'good multiverse' gets rebooted and fucked with constantly.
>Gotham being divided into separately themed 'lands' and having Batman's rogues gallery go full 'MMORPG mid-level dungeon boss' says a lot about Snyder's level of creativity.

Yeah I get all the shiny gimmicks, ridiculous references and a Justice League Megazord are great to look at but it's making me really tired of comic book events in general.

>Stupid? Fun?
yes

Blackest Night should've been a videogame, METAL should've been a heavy metal album.

>METAL should've been a heavy metal album.
It is gonna be actually. Dc is releasing a spundtrack album

Metal is just too much.
It's Batman for the sake of Batman.

'Nth metal' is on the same level as 'Unobtainium', which reduces this event to the same level as the Avatar movie with the blue aliens.

And that movie was only good for xenophilia porn, so in conclusion: METAL is only good for porn.

>comparing nth metal to unobtanium
>not comparing "batmanium" to unobatnium
at least nth metal was already an established thing in dc

is a really good read, you are just butthurt that a ton of people are enjoying it


>like having a fat kid covered in their own drool manhandling your comics with their Cheetos-dust-covered little fingers.

wow, great commentary right there, not reddit at all

>I disagree with the sentiment, so it's obviously reddit
Strawman, much?

It's fucking great.

>Customized Batcave death traps for the whole justice league

>Synder got Dream of The Endless roped into this

I was Karen Berger was still around to stop shit like this from happening. Dumb capshitters have no right to touch Sandman.

It's Snyder on Batman. This man needs to be barred from Batman. God, I hate Scott Snyder.

>>Batman is responsible for everything horrible ever, why the fuck should he even be considered a hero after this event?
Because he had no control over what transpires in a alternate universe he didn't even know existed?

fpbp

This is an event that relishes in its absurdity and it's not trying to take itself seriously. It may seem serious and the repercussions for failure is nothing to laugh at but superhero merged evil Batmen from another multiverse filled with bad ends coming to the main Earth to invade because Batman was exposed to four metals, the last being fucking batmanium, and turned him into a portal from their multiverse to his while he was trying to use a baby version of Darkseid to stop it from happening is crazy, stupid, and fun.

It's so fucking 90s it's amazing.

That's a shitty excuse. He's Batman, he should know those kind of things.

What kind of shitty Batman doesn't know about the multiverse and its implications. Sheesh.

Adam West Batman would've known.

Sandman shouldn't be on a pedestal and anyone should be allowed to use the endless however they please.

Yeah I mean Delirium is the perfect 'legal loli', Shad should be making all kinds of porn with her.

When are trades going to come out for the metal series? I'd love to buy these but don't feel like getting the single floppie issues.

>american comics are so boring / uninteresting that all you have to do is ripp off a 25 year old Jugde Dread comic to make an instant classic

Reminder that Sup Forums was sucking fucking "Secret Empire" a few months ago, including defending Frank Castle working for nazis.

No they weren't. Secret Empire got no love outside of that issue with Pymtron. It was one long dragged out shitfest that nobody liked. Everyone just wanted to see how bad it got. And it didn't disappoint in how shit it was.

Most people thought Frank was just playing along. Spoiler: he wasn't, he was just that stupid.

>Reminder that Sup Forums was sucking fucking "Secret Empire" a few months ago

This never happened

>Frank Castle working for nazis

A fascist working for the nazis is the only thing that made sense

METAL is Snyder trying to be like Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison, but being too intellectually undeveloped to do anything beyond a shitty edgefest.

Most of Snyder's fans are neckbeards forever stuck in the 80s-90s who unironically like heavy metal so there's really no surprise it gets defended with the power of an autistic special needs manchild whose toy got taken away.

>Dark multiverse doesn't actually exist. It's a dream construct trying to invade the real world through Bruce's mind

It was stupid and fun, but become only stupid lately.

I am disappointed they didn't turned the dark multiverse into "the land of the bad ideas that should never be canon", containing it to Bats was dumb I want to see other rejected "what if" worlds for the rest of the league, from the edgiest to the lamest, worlds that should never be where its inhabitants became aware of their fate and tried to invade the multiverse to save themselves (and in a meta level make themselves canon.)

That is not how sexualizing lolis work user

>it is all in your head Bruce, there is no such thing as the dark multiverse
>b-but Clark, I saw the Batman who laughs, he is real
>that was a dead man in a gimp suit Bruce, I threw him on your bat-mobile

The Dark Multiverse in itself feels completely disposable and obsolete, because the regular Multiverse already features bad ends and dystopian/post-apoc worlds.

Never happened. EVERYONE hated Secret Empire.

Its why I really want it to be the trash can of the multiverse, ideas so bad or unstable that the worlds can't hold themselves together and die quickly in the dark before anyone gets the chance of knowing they even exist

No, there was definitely a bit of pulling for "RIGHTcap" in the same vein as "RIGHTclops" and a vague hope that all the keikaiku doori shit would actually pay off and make the whole thing worth while.

Of course when that failed to happen most people disavowed ever reading it, and so we wind up with a revised history where no one ever liked it in the history of the universe full stop.

It really should've been more than just all Batman stories, or rather "What if Batman got a JL-member paint job with some evil thrown in" stories because Snyder can't be original if his life was depending on it.

It just shows that Batman is a fucking untrustworthy sociopath in the long run, who shouldn't ever be trusted to handle anything of importance. As if Brother Eye wasn't enough of a giant warning sign, but whatever.

It's why I was slightly amused by that Halloween story where the Joker is a voice inside Bruce's head and his adventures were all delusions. Because we all know it's true in a way.

Batman is the real villain.

The tie in with bby/kid darksied in the current arc of wonderwomen is pretty fun
