The Flash
Wally West has recently received some novel powers . Thanks tohis use of the Mobius Chair , he now has a near non-finite amount of cosmic knowledge , and might on par withWatchmen’sDoctor Manhattan . Naturally , this would make him a pretty high - value threat and target in the novel Dark Multiverse that has make inDark night : Death Metal . Due to the assumption that he will be making an appearance in the coming fourth exit of the series , one of the random variable covers feature Wally displaying a pretty unexpected but completely epic new power , present off his unhinged skills as a Drum God .
The reason that Wally is expect be inDark Nights : Death Metal # 4from Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo is due to the fact that he ’ll already have been boast in theDark Night : Speed Metalone - shot from writer Joshua Williamson , which will take place just afterDeath Metal’sthird issue . The Batman Who Laughs has become the Darkest Knight , as he ’s arrogate the power and body of Batmanhattan for his own . ( Batmanhattanis exactly what he sounds like : a Batman that gained the mogul of Doctor Manhattan . ) However , the Batman Who Laughs is not yet satisfied , seeking Wally to take his Manhattan powers as well , sending his Lightning Knights to take him down . Thankfully , Wally will have the Flash Family to aid support and protect him , but fans will be trusted to see the eventual outcome inDark Nights : Death Metal # 4 .

It ’s become evident that Wally will play a crucial piece inDeath Metalgoing forward , and this may just be his chance to make things right . Wally ’s had a rough go of thing since yield to the DC continuity , seeking buyback after the rather large mistakes he made during the events ofHeroes In Crisis . Hopefully , he ’ll be able-bodied to use his new powers for commodity to serve reset the Multiverse , render he is n’t robbed of them by the Darkest Night . However , it would be even better if he found some time to shake out on the drum as wellas this new variant cover suggests , from creative person David Baron and Doug Mahnke .
It ’s a truly awe-inspiring piece , existing in the same motif and vein as other works of artistry featuring sub jamming that have been seen over the class ofDeath Metal , such asBatman and Superman shredding on electrical guitars . Just like dying metal , speed metallic element is actually a subgenre of heavy metal rock music , featuring very firm and technological elements in its musical grammatical construction . This excuse the instrumental cover nontextual matter that has been seen over the last few month .
One can only hope that beforeDark night : Death Metalconcludes , sports fan will get some cover artistry that sees a full band transmission line - up . Batman can take galvanising guitar , Superman ’s got the bass , Wally on drum , and perhaps even Wonder Woman on vocals ? Who bonk ? One could imagine that a covert like that would sell big time ( would that make their band a cover band ? ) . In any case , seeing Wally West as a Doctor Manhattan - power metallic element drummer is a sight that is quite remarkable and epic , and one that few would have predicted a few age ago .
