4.0
Crow crow crow said the crow. Crow crow 🤘 said the other crow.
Plots - the book has a bunch of short stories of the dark knights of the dark multiverse. The red death, a Batman that steals the speed force from Barry, the murder machine a Batman made of nanotechnology who’s motivation was Alfred’s death, dawn-breaker a young Bruce who gets a green ring but overrides it with anger so it allows lethal force, the drowned a aquaman bat-woman hybrid, the devastator who is a Batman who injects himself with the doomsday virus, the merciless who wears the thingy or ares and the Batman who laughs who kills the joker than becomes him. Then there’s a one shot called wild hunt.
My thoughts - I really enjoyed most of the dark knights one shots, the best ones were dawn-breaker, the red death and the Batman who laughs. The red death has amazing art from carmine giandomenico. The Batman who laughs has a great backstory and is scary and maniacal. The dawn breaker takes revenge too far and gives into the darkness. The murder machine has weird art but also cool and has a cool story. I think the worst ones were the drowned, the merciless and the devastator due to their boring stories. The wild hunt issue at the end is confusing but is cool, it has a bunch of really good artists like Howard porter or Jorge Jimenez.
Overall good book
