WithMetal ’s creatorsScott SnyderandGreg Capullo , alongsideDark MattercontributorsSteve Orlando , Philip Tan , James Tynion IV , Robert Vendittiand more promised .
Dan Didiocomes out to present the control board , and he promises it will be loud and crazy .
SinceRebirth , they want to do a crowing major event . He introduces them out on stage . He inclose Capullo … who looks rather charge card . Of course , then we get the real Capullo , the fake expose as best chum Snyder . Capullo takes the chance to rip on Snyder with an printing , which Snyder observe is the same impression Capullo employ for him and Capullo ’s married woman . Capullo jest that he ’s his comics wife .
Snyder begin talking about the estimate forMetalstarting in the early days , to work Batman into the wider DC Universe . The Dark Multiverse is discover , and the only matter that can stop it is the increasingly rare Nth Metal . The first undulation of the invasion learn the Dark Knights , a Dark Justice League , attack .
They wanted it to find like an engine of new , fresh territory , new characters and Modern books . There are clues all the way through theirBatmanrun , and this is the culmination of everything they ’ve done and includes so much of the DCU , mentioning Plastic Man , the Source Wall , and Doctor Fate among others .
They want it to feel like it has big consequences , but also that liveliness is stressful powerful now , so they want to create something that reminded you what it was like to go into the mirthful store and be excited about an event . Like you ’re rocking out on the skilful concert of the summertime .
Capullo is loving getting to draw so many more characters . He in particular remark he ’d bonk to get to do a Swamp Thing run , to whoops from the crowd . He retell its paries to wall concert fun and will add all kinds of stain new centering in the DCU .
Didio says this venire is all about fresh , MetalandDark Matterare not only about bringing in new volume , but also unexampled villains and reveals the Dark Knights .
These characters are your worst nightmare plucked before they could vanish to be the master villain of Metal ’s invading army . There ’s one more that lead them , the Batman Who Laughs , whom they are hold off revealing . Every one of these grapheme has a really big fun news report ; Snyder said that the other creator indite the one shots had the choice to write them , or someone else could and they can catch up on their double ship statute title . But all creators jumped at the chance to diddle with these characters .
It ’s about Batman believe he ’s this champion of find , and every discovery he made took them onward — but finds that all the thing he did may actually have been leading him frontward to open up the muddle to the Dark Multiverse that threaten the DCU .
He promises a muckle of big surprise by the end of the first military issue .
Didio sets up the point for the other panelists by discussing how they mine new character and fresh construct from the Dark Multiverse is the books coming inDark issue . An extra panellist not mentioned but brought out isJim Lee .
Didio also announces the fresh character Brimstone , byJustin JordanandPhilip Tan . And what we believed to be Outsiders is actuallyThe Terrifics , featuring Plastic Man , Mister Terrific , Metamorpho and Phantom Girl , like a newfangled home of submarine for the DCU , written byJeff Lemire .
Lee and Tynion IV talk about getting to do a squad book of all new characters inImmortal Men . Tynion IV talks about being storm by a meeting with Lee about an old character inImmortal Man , and lento realize Lee was talking about work on a book with him . Tynion IV talk about catch to produce a whole new , drab and strange tapis within the DCU that will add to it .
displace to Lemire , Didio suppose how grateful he is to have him back at DC . Lemire say it ’s amazing to be back , and the book is about family and that DC is his family , so it ’s very special . Lemire is also working on aMetalbook and will be writingHawkman FoundwithBryan HitchandKevin Nolan .
Moving on toBrimstone , Tan always love horror , and get it a little underrepresented in the superhero side of DC . Been a while since he did a lot of stuff for DC , so he was invited back to do something special , and was offered to do what he loves . So far , it ’s been some of the most exciting thing to sing about and plan , and working with Justin Jordan .
Venditti onDamage : he describes expect at the DCU as a brick bulwark , and he and other creators now get to each add a brick to that wall . He line Damage as unlike anything they have in the DCU mightily now , and articulate they are three scripts in already . Every fourth dimension you see the character , something in the panel is damaged .
They talk about how they exchange up how they make a little bit , too , allowing the artist in on the patch creation process a plenty more , allowing them to be part of piss the things they really want to do together and even more collaboratively than before .
Snyder mouth about how it ’s been great all working together as they ’re all friends , and working out what everyone need to do with the persona and series . Snyder has always been catch by a role that provide to fetch citizenry together in a room and create even more tarradiddle together . He says that it was all worked on together , and not all just spinning out of something he did alone , but rather a joined sensitiveness that they want to go forward as a thank - you to devotee afterRebirth .
verbalise to Capullo about designing the Dark Knights , he describes it as a joyous geographic expedition of draw and creating art , like when you ’re a child and just creating newfangled stuff . He just looks at the essence of that type , and how can he take that spirit and sprain it up . If he stays true to that , then hopefully hoi polloi will savour it . He ’s just pretending he ’s a piddling kid making his sketches and doing what he wants , and DC have been peachy with that . Snyder praises the spirit level of contingent he adds to the designs .
run low back to Tynion IV , and working behind the scenes to help work on gettingMetalput together and teaming up onThe ForgeandThe Casting , and of course the booster cable - in toImmortal Men . He describe the energy of work together and allow the story to flow organically , such as having Talia Al Ghul mention the Silencer , because she has a role in that comic . It ’s about come to play with all the toys and adding some new ones in there , too . You see these are unexampled characters , but they survive in the same tapis . It ’s everything he ever wanted out of superhero comics ; getting to append to the legacy as well as playing with the bequest .
Tynion IV is forge on theBatman : The Man Who Laughsone shoot , and he says the excogitation is one of the scary design you have ever seen .
Venditti speak about howHal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corpsties intoMetal , and issue # 32 will wed in .
go back toDark Matter : two script will be introduce per calendar month bulge in December . But they desire to do it the right way . Every comedian only has one top , no variants , and all will be priced at $ 2.99 . They want you to invest in this and have it not break you . Lee however has something to add : they will do something never done in comics before , and each first issue wrap up will fold out — not just in a double foldout , but also up and down , allowing artist to do a very vertical composition , which will have cool reveals and interesting ways to foreshadow the titles .

What ’s it like take Batman out of Gotham into the main DCU ? Snyder says he ’s always wanted to pen the Justice League characters , and he loves their interaction , so it ’s been a fun learnedness experience . It ’s like writing a more familial human relationship .
A nestling asks : since Mister Terrific was originally from the JSA , will it be connected toRebirth , and will we see the fictional character remembering the events prior to the New 52 ? Lemire says he essentially just plotted out the whole first issue . Also , the black - and - clean costume of Plastic Man being reminiscent of Offspring , Lemire says yes , they are cognizant of that and hint at some thought .
DC mega fan and aspiring writer Adrian need ( after jest he wants to write for Marvel , and Lemire shoots back " You do n’t wanna do that , " ): how much give and take there is in the coaction ? Capullo says it really does reckon on the team , and discusses how Snyder gave him the orbit to change scenes or elements . It dislodge always bet on squad and storey . Capullo enjoin he is definitely give way slew of freedom .
If Lemmy was still alive , would he readMetal ? Capullo says hell yeah , they ’d get him to pen music for it .
