The Batman Who Laughs seems to be the only one to have a second life moving forward.

I felt they built the event up way to much and when I finally read it, I was just ok. But the way they are releasing the characters like if they were a bigger deal than what the event presented.
I think BWL was the highest P1 ES, the rest look like they will be way smaller of an ES. I can't see XM fairing that better even at a lower ES and smaller scale.

I should tell people all the ones I want are secretly Batman from a different dimension.

Lol on the last part. I agree tho why would I want a set of batman characters that take a ton of space from a story that was barely good.

I read Dark Knights Metal in one sitting after the fact. I’ve been reading “Batman” on a monthly basis for years though. I can’t recall anything from DKM that heavily affected or changed anything going on in “Batman”. Having read DKM, if I completely ignored DKM, nothing would be any different.

There are so many better stories and beloved characters. I'm guessing WB thought "this sold a bunch of issues, i'm sure they would sell just as well as the event lets push those out quick, different versions of batman will sell more than his stand alone rogues"
