There ’s a newBatmanin town , and he ’s unlike anything we ’ve seen before . In the first issue ofDark Night : Death Metal , Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo ’s follow up totheir 2018 mini - seriesDark Nights : Metal , we ’re introduced to various evil multiverse iterations of the Caped Crusader . None , however , are as jaw - dropping as B. Rex , the Dino - Dark Knight .
When faced with aBatman that also happens to be a tyrannosaur rex , it ’s safe to say that questions regarding the character ’s backstory will spring to mind . No , B. Rex does n’t come from a Gotham City inhabit by dinosaurs . It ’s somehow more insane than that : he ’s Bruce Wayne ’s consciousness upload into theiconic mechanical T - Rex find in the Batcave . B. Rex ’s private descent is revealed during a particularly hilarious interaction with Wonder Woman in an early scene inDeath Metal , along with some of the challenge presented to the reference thanks to his , how you say , unique physique .

As Wonder Woman points out , B. Rex ’s admittedly intimidating appearance also strips him of a few of the advantages Bruce enjoyed in human signifier . Thanks to his tiny arms , he ’s unable to get a batmobile or even throw a Batarang , though he insists that he ’s “ working on that . ” Of course , this just makes the character all the more endearing . Yes , he ’s an evil mechanical dinosaur in armed service of the Batman Who Laughs , but you ca n’t aid but rout for the guy .
We ’ve seen plenty of unknown versions of Batman in the past . There was “ Batmouse ” who presided in the pages of the DC children ’s seriesCaptain Carrot and the Zoo Crew . “ Li’L Batman ” was a pint - sized edition of the zep who fought bully in Gotham metropolis after seeing his parent get press by some dork . lecturer were even treated to a vampire Dark Knight thanks to the wildly successfulBatman & Draculatrilogy . It ’s heavily , though , to think of a version of the theatrical role that has captured the center and mind of the laughable community quite as B. Rex has .
And as if there was n’t enough to be excited about , it ’s alsobeen announced that Warren Ellis(writer of such classic asTransmetropolitan , Red , andFell ) is pen a story about B. Rex that will be featured in the upcomingDark Nights : Death Metal Legends of the Dark Knight . Will we ever see an on - going series , or perhaps even a picture , have this sheer new sight ofBatman ? One can only hope . The more B.Rex , the better .
