    The tie-ins are basically required at this point. The last issue of Death Metal barely makes any sense without Trinity Crisis and has Sgt. Rock give you an info dump at the start because of how necessary it is. You could skip the Robin King issue but Trinity Crisis, Rise of the New God, and that Superboy Prime vs. Darkest Knight tie in Snyder and Johns are doing all seem like required reading to me.

    I wouldn’t count out Speed Metal or Multiverse’s end. Speed Metal is how the Mobius Chair shows up and allows for Darkest Knight to get the power he needs (he even smirked about it which I didn’t like) while Multiverses end Succeeds at taking down the towers necessary to weaken Perpetua for this upcoming fight. If you really think about it all Wonder Woman’s plan has done is make Darkest Knight/BWL incredibly more power and severely weaken Perpetua as he’s about to get into a fight with her for control of the multiverse....I know Wonder Woman fans are going to hate that I said that but looking at it all she played into his hands

    1. She killed him which let him put his brain in the Bathattan body
    2. She collected crisis energy that ultimately he absorbed
    3. She sent Wally on a trip to get the very thing he rigged to get the energy in him
    4. The Green Lanterns and the multiverse heroes destroyed the towers collecting energy that Perpetua was feeding on
    5. Nightwing and his team in Justice League are taking out the chair she uses to siphon or absorb that energy (I never really understood what the chair did honestly).

    In conclusion: BWL/Darkest Night has only become more powerful and Perpetua has only grown weaker throughout the event. Something tells me he’s winning hands down.

    At this point it’s pretty damn clear BWLs will be the final boss not Perpetua, which kinda feels like a waste given Snyder’s JL was entirely about Lex and Perpetua both of whom ended up being sidelined in this event.

    Yeah, pretty incompetent when it gets laid out like that. But I really do love the blue hair!

    I saw through that line even in the development stage. The fact it was a Metal sequel told the whole story that it was a bullshit line. By its very conception Metal is the most Bat-verse-based tale that's ever been. A sequel to it would have to be the same, logically. It was pretty transparent to see all along that they were just going to make her a POV hero within the Bat-event and say it was about her. That's not to say Bruce is the star either, though. If anything this story is about The Batman Who Laughs. He's the star.

    I've skipped most of the tie-in issues and I've been able to follow the story thus far, but I agree that the tie-ins you mentioned definitely make the story better.

    Honestly, they're kind of reaching the point for me some Hal Jordan fans feel about his grey temples.

    Like I said earlier, no WW'84 originally supposed to originally be released this year and I'd doubt we'd have even gotten that line.

    Ok so...I’m not sure what just happened in Rise of the New God but somehow I got a feeling this might actually get crazier. Because the Perpetua vs Darkest Knight fight is going on, but it’s actually kind of in the background of the issues main story oddly enough.

Anyway this is a useless debate, we all know that Batman always wins, after all DC Comics is a lie, his real name is Batman Comics.
    Apparently you missed the part where batgod has become a reality and Superman just a has-been tick who licks Batman's shoes.

    The last issue just a meh. Feels like this issue whole purpose was trying to introduce a new character who seems to be the one doing "lets reboot DC again" busboy.

    I got the impression that he's going to be a villain of the next crisis event(sooner or later another one's coming) or plot twist villain.

    Even with the tie ins Death Metal is an incoherent, edgy nonsensical mess.

    reading the comments, it seems that many like this event. I understand that Batman fans like it, it is an event that reorganizes the entire DC creation, so that everything, without exception, is Batman. but that ww or superman fans like you is something that surprises me. Especially ww fans, they cried when doomsday clock (a story that was advertised as a comic, a superman story) focused on superman, but now that a comic, which is advertised as the WW story, revolves entirely around batman , they seem very happy.
