The Merciless is another one of the feared alternate versions of Batman that was introduced in DC's Dark Nights: Metal event. Originating from Earth -12 in the Dark Multiverse, this Batman had a relationship with Wonder Woman as the world broke out into war to fight. However, this version of Bruce fused with the war god Ares after defeating him in battle, sacrificing love and his moral compass to be the thing he was supposed to destroy. Taking on the title, The Merciless, he would soon join the Batman Who Laughs and his own League to invade the main DC Comics Universe.

The Batman Who Laughs and the Merciless are back from the Dark Multiverse as the Crisis approaches with a new Gold Label Exclusive 2-Pack. Both figures feature new deco, with The Merciless getting new red armor and the first-ever unmasked head sculpt. The Batman Who Laughs will feature his crowned outfit, and a themed display base will be included. Pre-orders are already live at select retailers for $79.99, with an August 2025 release date.
