New DC game will tackle one of Batman's darkest comics ever
radiotimes.comA new DC Comics game, titled DC: Dark Legion, will take inspiration from one of the darkest Batman comics in recent memory.
The game will put 'The Batman Who Laughs' — a version of the Caped Crusader who has nothing against killing after being infected with the Joker toxin — right at the centre of its story.
First created by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo for 2017's Dark Days: The Casting comic, The Batman Who Laughs is essentially a cross between Batman and the Joker, and this grim reimagining has become something of an iconic take on Batman.
He went on to lead his own self-titled comic, The Batman Who Laughs, with Snyder writing the story and Mark 'Jock' Simpson creating some truly creepy artwork. Check that out if you want to see just how dark The Dark Knight can get.
The Batman Who Laughs is already available in Fortnite, and he's also received a fair amount of merch. Now, he'll be the main threat in the DC: Dark Legion game. Check out the official artwork for the game below!
DC: Dark Legion has been described as «an action-packed strategy game coming to Android and iOS in 2024.» So you'll be able to play it next year on your iPhone or Android device.
The official description tells us: «Inspired by the Dark Nights: Metal comic series, DC: Dark Legion features an original story set in a version of the DC universe where twisted Super-Villain The Batman Who Laughs has attacked the Earth and its heroes under mysterious circumstances.»
