So pretty much every story in this was like a two page nothing-fest. The only thing that had any substance was the first one and even then...

And what, you were expecting substance from this?

Was at least expecting a little more

You were expecting GOOD THINGS from a fucking rehash to Dark Nights Metal at all?
Pathetic

>dark knights death metal legends of the dark knights
that's a long title

Why didnt Ozymandias think about lobotomizing Manhattan? Most intelligent man my ass

Isn't it obvious? Ozymandias didn't have the mythical ENERGY KNIFE™

please, are you joking?

Who the fuck would actually pay money to read this?

Oh you poor baby.

Energy Knife > Manhattan

.....I must have woken up too early. Only one story time.

Can't have compelling stories with white male protagonist anymore because that would go against DCs and Marvels feminist agenda of only portraying white men as useless or pathetic to make women seem "strong" in comparison

LMAO

Lobotomize? He just stuck a knife to that Bruce's skull.

>ENERGY KNIFE
AND THEN I RAPED THE JOKER WITH MY ENERGY DIIIIIIIICK

Wasn't Doctor Manhattan originally created to be an analogue for Captain Atom?

Why is Doctor Manhattan always portrayed as a cosmically powerful reality warper while Captain Atom is just a guy made out of energy who who shoots laser blasts from his hands?

Because Geoff Johns wanted to turn Dr. Manhattan into the big baddie that created the New 52 reboot the readers didn't like as well do some dumb commentary that the edgy comics Johns wrote in the past were all due to Alan Moore's shady influence on his naive psyche.

Not just any knife, user... it was a patented Batman Energy Knife™

this don't makes any kind sense

Captain Atom got pretty ridiculously powered up during the New 52. And even his revamp right before Rebirth still kept him was beyond just "releasing energy blasts".

He has pretty much only made cameos afterwards though and everyone sees to be writing him like post-crisis Captain Atom in those (well, aside from his "suit" not exploding at least, since it's just his body now).

So, it's pretty much due to Manhattan being more famous than Captain Atom, that's it.

It shouldn't even do anything.
You'd just be fucking with a leftover husk while Manhattan reforms elsewhere.

OG Captain Atom had no real limits to his powers ether. He was created via regeneration from nothing like Manhattan, could fly FTL, can use radiation to do shit that doesn't even make sense, can pass through objects etc.
The post Crisis one is a different character, even in name.

How was Giggles aware of manhattan's powers to begin with?

probably the "super insanity" or something

This comic tried to heavily push the idea that he doesn't giggle anymore. What do we call him now?

Barbatos gave him a lesson on cosmic stuff when he formed the original Dark Knights group, which is now confirmed to have included Perpetua. I'd guess Manhattan was part of that too.

the power of batwank and jokerwank combined

The Dankest Nut.

Also his statement about devouring other multiverses... isn't that what the Empty Hand was doing?

I liked the BWL story. It clearly explains his motives and reasoning for no longer considering himself a batman and it divorces him enough from the BWL identity to be a credible cosmic villain. Batman is reactive, his crimefighting didn't start until he was pushed into it by a mugger. The evil batmen are dependent, they are reflections of batman's fears. So, he wants to be a proactive force that sets things in motion in the cosmos, not a mere reaction to it, with the ultimate goal of being the only "real" being. It almost humanizes him while still keeping the "pure, cosmic evil" angle.
The Empty hand feeds on multiverses and creativity from beyond, but he also keeps stories going forever. DK wants to destroy the omniverse so that he's the only being left.
