Very exciting news for those of you who, like me, are massive metalheads and Batman dorks: Scott Snyder, who has been one of the lead writers on the Batman comic franchise since 2011, has announced a “Full Justice League, DCU event,” DC Metal. The event will be drawn by Greg Capullo (Spawn), who drew Snyder’s Batbooks for five years. Here’s a sample:

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Hey, dummy, just because the word ‘metal’ is in the title doesn’t mean the story has anything to do with metal, or will even be metal.” Which is fair. Except I really, truly believe this story will somehow involve heavy metal, for these reasons:

  1. Capullo is a known metalhead who has done album covers for Disturbed and is rarely seen without a Black Label Society baseball cap.capullo-slayer-slipknot 1336408143848
  2. Sndyer’s announcement on Instagram included the phrase “let’s rock out” and the devil horns emoji.
  3. Last year’s All-Star Batman issues number three and four, written by Snyder, included the revelation that Batman’s latest sidekick, Duke “Lark” Thomas, is a metalhead. His favorite band is called ‘Batman’s @^$&@,’ and at one point, their music is used as a weapon:asb-0 asb-neg-1asb-1asb-2 asb-3

So, yeah. I think this shit will be metal as fuck.

DC Metal starts this summer. More details as we get ’em.
