Last night, McFarlane Toysannounced they will be doing figures based on the DC Comics – Dark Nights: Death Metal story line. The first collectible they previewed was 7″ scale version of Batman’s motorcycle. Look for the Death Metal DC Multiverse figures to hit stores in January 2021. We’ll update with more info as it becomes available. Click the banner image for the full photo.
DC Comics – Dark Nights: Death Metal Figures Coming From McFarlane Toys
DC Comics - Dark Nights: Death Metal Figures Coming From McFarlane Toys
That's pretty badass; I don't collect McFarlane, so would probably be to big for me, but still an awesome design.
Saw this on Instagram last night and read a complaint about it. Not sure why someone would complain about this. It's pretty amazing and bold. You could use this with other things also. It would be a cool bike for Hordak.
What was the complaint?
Yeah I'm 100% down with this. And Death Metal figs. That should get us some non Batman figs - but they will be in the unique looks and style of the book. No legacy / evergreen versions of the DCU from it.
That being said, I do want the Trinity in Death Metal format.
Awesome! McFarlane is just killing it right now.
I don't care too much for superhero figures but this metal series is an absolute must. Everything about it is awesome. That bike is amazing.
Real nice, but those handlebars look really chunky. Hope it gets fixed. Think any number of figures McFarlane Toys produces works with this bike. Seeing this I think that Batgod/Barbatos would look real good on this.
Yup. Pretty cool. I must admit, I know nothing about the metals comics series. Anyone in the know out there that can tell me where to start or if there is an omnibus out there?
Well, do you mean the first regular series Metal or the current sequel being published Death Metal? Death Metal is current so just issues on that for now but Dark Nights Metal has an omnibus and a number of trades. That said, the bike looks pretty spot on. I’d love to see the Monster Truck Batman myself out of sheer absurdity, but figure wise for the DM lineup Wonder Woman obviously, Robin King, that burned out Swamp Thing would be neat and or Darkest Knight to name a few hopefuls.
This is SO McFarlane. If there's not a set of comics already established I would have thought McFarlane designed it in house. Reminds me a lot of the old Spawn Violator Chopper and Monster Rig.
So which figure is supposed to ride this bike? Grim Knight? The Grim Knight McFarlane's making doesn't look like the Batman on the cover with the scythe.

General premise is that somehow the dark multiverse versions of Batman etc - won. Earth is in ruins and good guys on the run. Batman is Mad Maxed out, and from the shots above, rest of heroes are a little rough right now.
But yeah, I haven't dug into Death Metal yet, so that may not be 100% accurate. Will wait for trade, half done right now.
Dark Nights Metal and The Batman Who Laughs trades - those are where everything McFarlane has shown so far is from, except the bike. And both are well worth a read, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo - the team that did New52 Batman which was the shining light in the new 52 era.
Why does it not have wings?
Mcfarlane is loosing my intrest slowly, really only tempted by the cyborg figure, here's hoping his dc fandome reveals will be good though not sure when those are happening.
So. Damn. Awesome! Can't wait for this.
That is really tempting. Shit that's cool.
So was there any more reveals? Also if I started by reading Deceased is that a good spot?

Way too many complaints. McFarlane is doing a phenomenal job, at least with DC. Now do this with Thrones and Potter!
