Justice League #32 storytime - Metal tie-in

Flash vs Red Death! Aquaman vs the Drowned! Wonder Woman vs the Merciless! Green Lantern vs Dawnbreaker!

...

...

What was the first part of bats out of hell?

I think it was Flash #32, storytimed last week

...

sneaky jay helmet

flash #33

This Red Death effect text gets really irritating to read in places

I really hope all the Dark Knights have their own custom deathmobiles

...

I wish I could shoot someone that thought it was a good idea to make red death dialogue, hard to read.

>BRRRAP

...

And I was just playing Mad Max too, goddamn

...

>a giant mallet attached to a car
This fucking guy

ur waifu is a mutant sea monster lmao

...

While I am down for the Batiana book, I really wish Sharp was on Aquaman after Sejic.

...

...

...

This is utterly retarded and I kind of love it

...

This is such a pornographic page, look at Aquaman getting tentacle fucked lmao

>that Diana panel
>Poor Little Amazon Girl

>that third panel
He's so disappointed in him for that thing lul

...

I unashamedly love it!
To mash the coins of the Styx with the penny of the Batcave is a great and silly idea.

These mostly look like shit, but maybe a couple of decent new characters will come from them

>This is utterly retarded
No its not, it's just a fantastical horror story.

Shit writers trying to pull on strings, pathetic.

Holy shit Wondy's rack looks fucking glorious here.

>cyborg literally chips out

kek

Oh shit good catch. Didn't even notice it. When the fuck are they going to get back to him anyway? Johns better do it (along with the rest of the JSA) in Doomsday Clock.

Holy shit Red Death's speech bubble is killing my eyes, whip the letterer, a black speech bubble with red text would have been better.

HOW FUCKING DARE YOU DO THAT TO MERA YOU FUCK. Kill her Arthur. Kill her now.

everything is awesome about this page

Is Hal going to be the hero of Metal?

>You would have a flashmobile
Lol

That Flash bobble head in the last panel is cute.

Honestly one thing I'm enjoying about this event is how over the top it is.

funny you mention that, Joker Batman's bubble is exactly that
and it's even worse that this one

well his Batman is the biggest bitch out of them all

Like nothing happened this issue.

The Red Death stuff has consistently been the most over the top fun because of the whole Mad Max vibe of his vehicles

I thought the '90s were over.

The Drowned deserves to die for this.

We Ultra90s now.

>flashmobile with mallet attached
>sea monster mera
>giant drachma made from amazon coins

where were you when Metal became the GOAT event?

I was:
>waiting for an action filled race scene to occur
>waiting for a fight scene with a giant monster to happen
>waiting for a battle scene with the warriors to start

What she did to Mera???

made her an aquazombie

Norman Osborn did the same thing to Namor's girl in Dark Reign.

She turned her into that creature she's riding.

I wanted Batwoman to ride Mera, but not like this! Not like this!

Is Van Sciver, right? Sometimes he can be really good.
Hopefully, she has not been really the hero of DC since the Blackest Night I think.

Why does the flash need a car?

Our boy Kyle Jordan

He's my hero anyway

Fuck off Hammond

>That page she’s just a zombie
>This issue she’s a giant fucking shark monster
S H I T. W R I T I N G.

Why the fuck not.

Whoa dude, a transformation happened off panel! This has never happened in the history of comics.

yeah except they also have a cyborg analogue

But how

Murder Machine can't create Boom Tubes though.

Was the storyline with the time kids ever resolved?

Yes, but it was retarded

Digging this Cyborg narration for once

Hal is the greatest counter to Batman the JL has. None of the scare tactics will work on him.

Did they say why Diana abandoned her son?

Yeah she was literally raped and impregnated by a force called "the darkness" (they never explain what the darkness is, it's just an amorphous evil black cloud), and apparently she left because her presence could turn Hunter evil if she stayed or something

Like I said, it was retarded

No, plastic man is going to save them all.

damn I was thinking this was priest's first issue

>corrupted kaiju Mera
help me I'm turned on

>well his Batman is the biggest bitch out of them all
Dawnbreaker desu looks like he's the strongest out of the other evil batmen, he did solo a squad of lanterns + guardians, one which was Ganthet.

Easier to read than the Batman who laughs

But you HAVE THE FLASH'S POWERS. WHY DO YOU NEED A CAR? I mean, the Red Death is already (objectively) a better fighter than Barry! Just fuck him up!

Oh fuck you, stop trying to make Cyborg relevant. Cyborg fucking sucks! They spent the whole of The Murder Machine shilling Cyborg instead of doing anything with Cyborg Batman. He's just a black guy with a full-body prosthesis, there's nothing less interesting!

So that you can WITNESS HIM

>nigga Flash

FUCK
FUCK
FUCK

This series is just so beautiful. I'm looking forward to the trades.

The "Darkness" was not all the evil of the world condensed??? I think something like that is mentioned at son point.

Shut up Carol.

>mamoa

Fuck...

This part got me so good.
"Oh this is just a gladiator battle and the emotions make it difficult. Oh wait no, zombie amazons because of a giant coin"

Unironically, I can actually see this happening.

>american football analogy

FUCK YEA!

I am going to miss these evil Batmen when this event is over, Red Death especially. He's just so over the top amazing.

They gotta use Cyborg somehow.

Same, red death is mt favorite with drowned and merciless next.

Could Vic have saved the Browns?

>I am going to miss these evil Batmen when this event is over
there is no way in hell they'll go away since Metal is so successful
they'll stay around in some capacity

NANOTECH SON

>Negative World Barry is still trapped in Red Death
Damn I forgot that poor bastard is still there Firestorm style

You know, I'm genuinely curious. They seem to be doing their best to avoid showing each member actually get to grips with his counterpart. Why is that?

I mean, in a manga, when you have the hero fighting his evil opposite, it's usually a straight-up one-on-one duel to the death. But here, it's entirely eclipsed by the weird cave gimmick to each fight.

See, this is Batman PLUS somebody else's power (In every case except the Dawnbreaker). He doesn't really need an edge, he can just fucking beat you to death! Every version of Batman here definitively beat 'his' counterpart - Red Death fucked up the Flash without superspeed, Merciless killed Ares and Wonder Woman in straight-up fights, Dawnbreaker somehow wiped out the entire Green Lantern Corps and Guardians of the Universe. Why not just...fight?

Say what you want about the story, but the way this event is structured is god-tier. Editorial did a fine job.
The main series, the Dark Knight one-shots, and the two tie-in stories (Gotham Res and this one) all reference each other, but are understandable without reading the others. What's even more impressive is that they come out in chronological order.
Wish they'd make an omni of this.

>flashmobile
top kek

>Why not just...fight
Fuck homie, they're about to. Also because Earth-0 has more heroes than what they're used to hence the plans n shit.

They are coming back in The Wild Hunt and I think Morrison is coming back on board with Metal too?

>Why not just...fight?
IMO they just want to provoke some emotional reaction
this 'torture the heroes' scenario reminds me of Blackest Night
