The alternate, twisted versions of Batman--the Seven Dark Knights of
the Dark Multiverse--are hunting the Justice League as the Leaguers
attempt to locate artifacts that might protect Earth. One by one, Flash
and Steel, Wonder Woman and Doctor Fate, Green Lantern and Mister
Terrific, Aquaman and Deathstroke must face the Nightmare Batmen.
Elsewhere, Dick Grayson issues an S.O.S., summoning Robin, Batgirl,
Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, Black Canary and Green Arrow to prevent the
transformation and terraforming of Gotham City into a twisted mosaic of
monsters, magic and doom. When they are trapped in a Riddler-designed
maze, all hope may be lost.
And where is Batman during all this? He's trapped in his own private
nightmare, reliving portions of his life while confronting Barbatos, the
leader of the evil Batmen and the demon that has haunted his dreams.
These direct tie-ins to the Dark Nights: Metal event are created by
