    Default Snyder's upcoming Death Metal is supposedly Wonder Woman focused

    So, has anyone else read the rumor from Bleeding Cool that Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's sequel to Dark Knights: Metal, apparently called Death Metal is going to have a strong focus on Wonder Woman?

    Here's a snip from the article:

    I am told to expect something with a focus on Wonder Woman. For it not to be the 5G-focussed book that some in editorial may want – but that it may lead into an ageing of central characters, such as Superman and Batman along the new timeline – and will include a line about Dr Manhattan’s messing with reality. But mostly to expect the same kind of everything-including-the-kitchen-sink riotousness that was a trademark of the original...
    There's also, supposedly, going to be solicitations for this book in the upcoming DC comics solicitations, so maybe we'll get Diana in the synopsis or on a cover.

    What do you guys think of this? Did you guys read Metal? It introduced the Dark Multiverse and negative Earths, along with Barbatos and the different, evil Batmen and The Batman Who Laughs (who's still in Prime Earth currently).

    On top of Diana being a focus in the book, there's mention of it being a lead-in towards the aging of the characters in the new DC timeline without being 5G focused (thank God).

    Not to mention that Scott Snyder is writing for Wonder Woman #750, and is going to be bringing in Diana's origin in this new timeline, so Snyder may have some times between WW #750 and Death Metal? Plus, he said he was done with Batman after Last Knight on Earth, and he has said in the past that he wanted to write a Wonder Woman story, so this may be the time for him to do it, unless he plans on having Diana fall into the JSA book he may end up writing. We can't really be sure if she's there until we get a better idea as to what her new timeline and origin is.

    __________

    But what do you guys think of Wondy leading the sequel? If Diana's a lead in the book, what do you want from it? I don't think there's going to be evil Wonder Women, since Bleeding Cool also mentions that we're getting two new Batmen, but I think it'd be cool if we did get Wonder Woman versions like Batman did. Or maybe Diana gets to see what she's like in the Dark Multiverse.

    But, like someone on Reddit said, please, for the love of God, no mohawk. It's the most generic look you can give Diana in a post-apocalyptic/evil world ;P
