New Episode: Metal Part II

Earth is sinking into the Dark Multiverse, Batman and Superman are missing, and the planet Thanagar has a world-destroying gun aimed at Earth. Team-up with Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, and Batman to battle the Dark Knights: twisted alternate versions of Batman!

Journey through Batman's nightmares, Atlantis' Silent School, and Oa's Sciencells before diving headlong into the Forge of Worlds at the heart of the Dark Multiverse. Only you can save reality from crumbling, but first you must defeat Dawnbreaker, the Drowned, and the bat-god Barbatos, leader of the Dark Knights!

New Duo: Batscape

Players arrive to the Oblivion Bar, one of the few seemingly safe places left after the events of Metal Part I, under the pretense of meeting with the last of Earth's resistance to decide how to respond to the Dark Knights and the sinking of our universe into the Dark Multiverse. Together, they will delve into the depths of Batman’s mind to free him from Barbatos’ influence.
