Then stop reading it, simple as that
As Superman and Wonder Woman hunt for a missing ally, Batman investigates a mystery spanning centuries. When the World's Greatest Detective discovers a foe even greater than the Justice League could possibly imagine, will Earth's heroes be ready?
I'll stop things here, for fear of betraying the storytellers confidence: the rush to the climax of this issue begins with a gasp of familiarity, and ends with you on the edge of your seat. This is a great follow-up to an impossibly good first issue. Read Full Review
Saying that Dark Nights: Metal #2 is a must-read is like saying that a hydrogen bomb has the potential to do some damage. Each page is amazing for its own reason, and I cannot recommend that you run out and buy this book strongly enough. Read Full Review

This story continues to ratchet up the action, thrills and mystery. Snyder and Capullo have crafted an epic love letter to the DC universe and I can't wait to see how it expands in the next issue. Read Full Review
In the past few years and especially with his most recent run on Batman, Greg Capullo has cemented his name as one of the comic book greats, Greg Capullo's artwork now stands up there with names like Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane, his style and name will be recognizable for years to come. His story telling ability reflected in his panels are second to none. His detail is exquisite and at no point did I question who a character was and where they were located. He was able to depict each character with precise perfection. There are times when I find Greg Capullo to be very cocky, but I am starting to realize that he may have every right to be. 5 out of 5 stars! Read Full Review
Holy Caped Crusader! This series just keeps getting better and better and Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo once again deliver their A-game as the twists, turns and unexpectedness of Dark Nights Metal continues to go where no DC Comic has gone before. This series is a crisis and although not dubbed as an official DCU Crisis, it definitely is and now it's time for the rest of the DCU to become involved! Read Full Review
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo reteam for DARK NIGHTS: METAL #2, a comic which answers the central questions about the Dark Multiverse! Read Full Review
It is a pretty frightening last panel. It is also pretty exciting. Snyder and artist Greg Capullo are really going the distance In this book. It is so imaginative and structured and I cannot get enough. Read Full Review
During Zero Year, I refused to flip the page until I solved Nygmas riddles for myself. Back then, I too often forfeited in frustration. But Ive no intention of waiting for the full revelations to of Snyders story to be spoon fed to me anymore. His past works prove that the clues are there for those who, like Carter Hall and Batman himself, are willing to the hard detective work to solve the mystery. Thus, Ill continue to dissect with the exacting eye of a forensic specialist the etymologies of words, the meanings and motifs, and any other clues I come across. Snyders sensational storytelling in Dark Nights: Metal is of course reward enough, but the chance to crack the case while working alongside the Worlds Greatest Detective adds all the more satisfaction.

One Last Thing: Shooting the brain of the Anti-Monitor at the Rock of Eternity is supposed to destroy the Dark Multiverse? I dont know why I would or would not believe that would work, but thats just one of the craziest sentences Ive read in a comic in a while, which is saying something because comics are crazy. Read Full Review
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo continue Metal, but this issue feels like the real beginning. It's obvious they are having a great time and it rubs off on the reader in a big way. An exciting story that makes senses even when I wished it wouldn't coupled with great art and an awesome sense of humor have me pumped up for everything Metal coming our way. If you have been waiting for the fun that was promised with Rebirth, your wait is over. Highly Recommended. Read Full Review
Dark Nights: Metal #2 picks up the pace from issue one and continues to deliver the promises made about Metal. Fun dialogue, Batman on a jet ski, and heart pounding moments help shape this comic event to be one of the best ever produced. Snyder and Capullo continue to be a dream team in the industry, proving that their styles mesh very well together. Batman is gone and the nightmares have been released, can the multiverse survive? While we have to wait a month for the next installment ofMetal, we will have two tie-ins a week until then. Read Full Review
Dark Nights: Metal #2 keeps the ride going, by bringing in some more explanation, upping the stakes, and just showing how wild the DCU really is. It's so nice to see an event have such level and depth and be a whole heap of fun, too. Read Full Review
The pacing and story may be hard to follow for some, but his book will definitely charm you with its gripping art and full use of DC characters. Read Full Review
I can't even pretend to understand everything that's been going on, which is probably to be expected. Yeah, Scott Snyder's writing it, but growing a tree out of a nut left behind by Grant Morrison is destined to be fraught with a mind bending case of the "Huh?"s. It's like that giant spinner thing at the carnival -- it's makes you dizzy but it's still a hell of a ride. Read Full Review
Dark Knights Metal #2 is more exciting than the first with action and groundbreaking story and dialog on every page. The art and overall looks to the characters, scenery and cameos were all a joy and fit perfectly. I enjoyed these books so far but I feel these first two could have been cut and put together as one issue. Read Full Review
Overall, Dark Nights Metal issue 2 is a strong continuation to the first issue that's really just lead up to the next issue but it has enough good stuff that I wouldn't miss it. Despite that huge, gaping plot hole that I mentioned (or maybe because of it), I think this is tons of fun, a real treat for fanboys and the perfect way to sweeten people on events after the chaos that was fan reaction to Secret Empire. I give this a strong recommendation; feel free to pick it up. Read Full Review
Each Dark Knight appears to have their own distinctive textual and balloon designs, something I hope remains in play every time these characters speak. Theyre just one example of how interesting the character concepts are from a design standpoint, so I am excited to see them in action. Read Full Review
The story may be a bit derivative, but it is a well-crafted comic and manages to end on a heck of a cliffhanger. Read Full Review
Dark Nights: Metal #2 is an excellent continuation of DC's latest mega event. The use of events like Final Crisis and Darkseid War elevated the story that Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are crafting. Now with Batman's actions opening the door to the possible destruction of the Multiverse we are left wondering how our favorite DC Universe heroes will be able to save the day. That mystery, along with several other sub-plots, make the anticipation for what happens next harder to wait for. Read Full Review
We are only two issues in, but each time I'm on the edge of my seat, picking my bottom jaw off the ground. If you want to get the full comic experience in one book, this is what you need to be reading. Read Full Review
Greg Capullo and Jonathan Glapion turn in the work of their careers. Ive said a few times that I hope this entire creative team ends up on Justice League, and this issue is proof of concept for that. There is nothing Capullo cant capture here, from small moments with Zatanna and Constantine, the big chase with the League and the false Batmen, and the issue-ending two page spread debuting the Dark Knights. All of it is intense, engaging, and spot on. Read Full Review
While Metal still has a few kinks to iron out before it can rival the best of Snyder and Capullo's work, the series is delivering plenty of drama and spectacle as it explores the collision between the DCU and the Dark Multiverse. This issue increases the story's pace, focusing both on crazy, dynamic action and highlighting the fear and uncertainty propelling the Caped Crusader as he delves deeper into his biggest case yet. Read Full Review
It would easy for this story to get bogged down or become a complete mess but Snyder knows his stuff and walks the line between entertaining chaos and hopeless junk. Capullo brings it again with the artwork and I enjoy his take in action sequences and the quieter moments that need a softer touch. Read Full Review
This is a ridiculous story built on some crazy conceits, and it's finally coming together after the questionable Forge and Casting comics. I recommend this comic. Give it a read. Read Full Review
I actually found Metal #2 to be a lot more fun than the premiere issue. Although, it's probably more apt to say that I found it more enjoyable, because the subject matter is hardly “fun”. It's got plenty of dark undertones running all throughout it, and as the story wraps up, we are faced with some truly bleak circumstances. Given that, it seems rather strange that I would close the book in a better mood than when I opened it. But, I guess that's the power of Scott's narrative. It's all being played as a cool comic adventure, so even though we are being presented with some very depressing things, we are never really forced to ingest it in that way. Read Full Review
In all seriousness, Snyder's newest epic is coming together well, even if it has a few speed bumps. The action is fantastically drawn by Capullo, with an equally engaging story. I can't wait what else they legendary creative duo have int store for us, and tther next issues could very well determine if this story is one of DC's great. I think it will. Read Full Review
This series is delivering on the promise to be the comic event of the summer! The size and scope of the story grows with every issue. Questions are finally answered in this issue, but even more are asked. The fast pace works well and I can't wait to see where it all goes. Read Full Review
I think the other thing that is in Metal's favor is that its creative team was The New 52 Batman creative team for the better part of four years. Thus, Metal actually seems like a continuation of something concrete in the DC Universe, something will not be re-birthed and rebooted away " Snyder and Capullo's Batman. Metal validates that Batman comic book series, and Batman is the anchor for this big event which might mean something important to the DCU for some time to come. Read Full Review
The art is really sharp and I like it a lot overall the Justice League are drawn beautifully each of their features sharp on the panels, yet for some reason Batman looks a little funny to me, mainly his cowl looks more two dimensional than the rest of him. Read Full Review
Metal #2 features some of the coolest and most fun lettering that I've seen in a long time. Read Full Review
Unlike the disappointing first installment of the title, "Dark Nights: Metal" #2 starts to push the plot of the series forward while introducing both comedic and horror elements of the tale to the forefront. Read Full Review
Scott Snyder proves that he can do the long game as well as anyone, and this event is really shaping up to be his magnum opus if he can pay it all off. More than maybe any other event book in recent memory, you can tell that the creative team is having fun with this one and that goes a long way to getting people onboard. Comics should be fun. Metal is trying to remind us that. Read Full Review
This is an epic, ambitious story, but even with all the exposition you can still feel lost, will all the groundwork pay off? I hope so. Read Full Review
At the very least, there cant be any more setup in this event, right? Ill give it one more issue. But after that, Ill at the very least stop bothering to write about it. Read Full Review
단언컨데, 더 메탈 이벤트는 역사상 가장 크고, 가장 의미있고 가장 재미있는 이벤트로 기억될것이다.
Holy shit, Batman! I wasn't quite sure what to expect from #2 but the collection of Dark Batmans was freaking awesome and the deaths at the end were, uh, shocking. I suppose they aren't true deaths, because ya know, comics... but, DAMN.
I loved this. It really makes me want to go back and explore the entire New 52 run of Batman. There is stuff in here referencing different stories throughout the past six years. I haven't read any of it, but it doesn't matter for comprehension of this book. Knowing it'll be waiting for me to go read is enough, and when I get to it I'll know what it's leading to. Awesome.
Snyder and Capullo truly are making this story Metal AF. This is pretty hard core but if you like dark world-threaten more
Seasoned readers will especially get a lot out of this issue. It ties in a lot of previous stories perfectly.
I really liked this issue, better than issue 1 in my opinion. Scott Snyder writes a excellent Dark Night (Batman) and Capullo has been one of my favorite artist since his days of Spawn. Anyway I give this a 10 out of 10.
Wow, Snyder's writing on Metal so far is proof that cocaine is a helluva drug...
Let me preface this by saying I absolutely loved this story. I can't believe the insanity that Snyder injeceted into this issue. Moreover I am stunned that Snyder managed to weave his entire Batman run including Allstar and Geoff Johns Green lantern and Justice league runs as well as Morrison's work on the Batman and crisis events. This epic spans a lot of continuity and really shows off a ton of the DC Pantheon and multiverse. The dialogue is witty, Greg Capullo's art is fantastic and the threat is formidable if not out right far beyond the capacity of our heroes. I truly do not know what will happen next and that is refreshing. This is a very continuity heavy expository read that hammers home that the Dark Knights are not to be trifled wi more
Very cool number, I think I liked it a bit more than #1 as this one was a bit simpler. I can't wait to see what those evil Batmen do.
Damn, that was amazing. I love how Snyder is not only taking continuity from his own story but also from Morrison's Batman and Multiversity as well as Geoff John's Justice League among others. Everything that I though would be ridiculous actually paid off and is now really cool. If I wasn't sold on this before, I am now.
A must read series. A first event in a long time that has me truly excited for the next comic.
Dark Nights: Metal's over-the-top, zany, 90's-esque roller coaster ride continues with issue #2. Snyder and Capullo are really making something special here. Not only have they created a comic series of pure fun (at a time when the comic industry needs it more than ever), but this Metal event looks to be something that will have long-lasting traction going forward for years to come. We learn more about the legacy of the three main tribes, the origination of the 4th (Bat) tribe, how matter, anti-matter, and dark matter relate to one another, a peek into the origin of the Multiverse, but above all....baby Darkseid throwing up the heavy-metal horns. Dark Nights: Metal is one of those unique, outrageously entertaining stories that comes around more
Thank Barbatos! With DARK NIGHTS: METAL #2 the DC comics I loved and lost has finally been REBIRTHed in full. Rather than bring back the post-Crisis/pre-NEW52 continuity in one fell swoop, DC has (very gradually) been merging the two since REBIRTH began (with Superman's story being the exception). DARK NIGHTS:METAL is one of those universe-wide events that only DC can do (and that Marvel has never been able to match), yet, hasn't done in years...It tells a great story, RICH in continuity, and celebrating what came before (rather than treat it as if it didn't happen). It is a true "CRISIS" in spirit (and in all the good ways that the word crisis inplies to a DC fan) if not in name. Welcome back,DC.
SCORE:9.6
I've never so excited to get to the comic book store on a wednesday! This story is really pulling me in despite it being confusing and a bit on the ridiculous side at time, but the ridiculousness is completely assumed and this is what makes it special. Snyder knows how to put drama in a situation that calls for laughters under any other circumstances. Baby Darkseid, Batmanium, ski-doo, this is just brilliant! The art is stellar most of the time, but you can feel Capullo really is at his best drawing Batman, but not so much with the rest of the Justice league. Still not enough a make me drop the score though. Good stuff and a must read for any comic book fan.
Well rounded issue, good action fast paced while still building story. What can I say Synder can write.
I like Snyder's long game and ability to dig into the DC lore and mythos. This book still looks amazing and the tone is really perfect. Snyder still has a fantasy speak issue and the book may not be as enjoyable for those who are not full on DC lovers and fans, but the story has action and it feels like a threat worthy of the Justice League.
the art of greg is amazing, and the story by snyder, like metal, its heavy
Snyder is going all in on this. It feels like the majority of New 52 and even some of the events before it were leading to this. It just feels so natural. Amazing. And it's only the second issue. This is how you do an event, Marvel.
It was very good. It might be Snyder's best job.
Quite entertaining.
The ambition of this story is clear once again, and there are unforgettable images, especially at the end. I want Capullo on DC books forever.
Finnally a évent when Batman is not gonna save the day
Although still confusing at times, this was the best issue so far in Metal. I really am just all in on this event and I can't stop reading! The art in here is phenomenal as well.
The fifth metal is called batmanium? Really? That brings the rating down.
Not a bad reading. But I didn't like it much. Their was fun part (The family as Batman). The end make is bad because we know that's too easy & that bruce will come back. I'm recognize some of the Immortal, but not all, and don't like the fact that Kendra was with them at all.
Capullo make one more time a beautiful work. My rating is that I for a huge part thanks to him. Don't like the army of bad Bruce !
Smell like old "Fear Itself" & that's not a good thing.
What. Is. Happening.
It took four issues (if you count the prelude comics) but Dark Nights is finally starting to get interesting. I hope #3 will throttle back on the massive exposition dumps and the series will continue to trend up from here.
I have been hard on this series, but I''m still reading it. It all seems so convoluted and with the new metal of batmanium it crossed over into campy. The whole barbatos thing is confusing. I've read Final Crisis, but maybe I need to go back and read Return of Bruce Wayne. I'll keep reading it as it's nice seeing characters I haven't seen in a while.
Two thirds a great chase for Batman, one third falling back on Snyder's biggest flaw when writing Batman: making Batman an arrogant, obsessive idiot who is easily fooled. It makes sense occasionally, but it happens ALL THE TIME with Snyder.
BATMANIUM?!?!?!?!? I'm out.
Nice artwork though.
Let's hope something happens with these new freaky dudes next issue, and DC doesn't sit on the hands, as usual. I like the tying together this book does of history running back through Grant Morrison's own well-researched run. Some pretty cool sequences, like star Batman or demon Damians chewin' on owls. A useless Swamp Thing cameo. A bunch of hopping around from place-to-place with minimal explanation. And baby Darkseid? When did that lame shit happen, and why did Batman have easy access to him?
Awful. The only good thing is that there are things that make you laugh because of their ridiculousness
All the things I didn't know I didn't want, in one book.
Baby Darkseid. That explains my rating, precisely
