#Dark deathmetal series
" is the perfect character for Metal, because, on the surface, the series is about what comics can be in a good way - in their ridiculousness, fun, and passion," Snyder continues.
The Joker is always trying to prove Batman wrong, that nothing means anything, and to think it does is a joke," says Scott Snyder, DC's longtime Batman writer, who helmed Dark Nights: Death Metal alongside artist Greg Capullo, a diehard metalhead who even created a cover of Revolver magazine, featuring Slayer's Kerry King fighting Slipknot's Corey Taylor, in 2012. "When we were doing Batman, I always loved the idea of doing a Joker that was darker than the Joker. Voila, The Batman Who Laughs, and the star of the show in DC's crossover miniseries Dark Nights: Death Metal. The Joker triggered a toxin in Batman's heart with his dying breath, which gave the world its ultimate doomsday scenario - Bruce Wayne, corrupted by the same amalgam of psychosis that plunged the former Arthur Fleck into darkness. Bruce Wayne finally snapped and broke the clown's neck once and for all. His origin story is pure comic books but also extremely metal: In one of the remote corners of the multiverse, the Joker went on a killing spree, dispatching everyone in Batman's storied rogues' gallery with brutal, troubling, truce-breaking efficiency. A tangle of rusty chains are wrapped around his wrist, which pair nicely with the jagged, yellowed teeth that seem to take up most of his face.
He towers over the DC cast in a black shocktrooper suit and a grisly spiked coronet fitted for his forehead. The Batman Who Laughs would be right at home in a Slayer gatefold. Revolver has two exclusive, limited-edition vinyl variants of the Dark Nights: Death Metal Soundtrack - order yours before they're gone!
