How Much Sandman Will There be in Knight Terrors and Other DC Gossip

Every issue of Knight Terrors will begin with the following line, "A monstrous and deadly villain named Insomnia has struck!"

Knight Terrors is the upcoming line-wide crossover for DC Comics through July and August, putting many titles on hold and replacing them with a bunch of two-issue series. Previously such a move was used to help as a "band-aid" across the publishing schedule run by then-editor Marie Javins, called Convergence. Then Future State looked at the future of a variety of DC Comics characters when DC was coming out of lockdown. And now, Knight Terrors. According to what Bleeding Cool has been told, the aim is to sell some really cool toys in the near future. As DC Comics characters get challenged by, then turned into, nightmare versions of themselves.

What is going on with Knight Terrors, and how much does it relate to Sandman?

Every issue of Knight Terrors will begin with the following line, "A monstrous and deadly villain named Insomnia has struck! The entire world has been forced into eternal slumber, including all the heroes and villains, as Insomnia searches their dreams for the Nightmare Stone. Can the heroes survive being trapped in their darkest fears?"

So breaking that down. Insomnia may believe himself to be The Lord Of The Dreaming, but in reality, he was an Arkham inmate, transformed by Lazarus Juice, and found himself able to manipulate dreams. And it began with fellow inmate John Dee, Doctor Destiny, placed in Arkham Tower after Deathstroke was defeated in Dark Crisis.

The Dreamstone was, in Sandman, one of Dream's items of power. The Nightmare Stone, however, is something new. The Deamstone was made in the Dreaming but hidden in the waking world. The Nightmare Stone is the opposite. And it had been hidden in the dreams – or nightmares – of one of Doctor Destiny's enemies, namely the Justice League.

And did you know that in the DC Universe, the realms of death and dream are related, as if they were brother and sister? You do now. Oh, and we get Sandman, but maybe not the one you were expecting, as Wesley Dodds resurrected by the same Lazarus Juice that created Insomnia.

What do superheroes dream of?

So the world is put to sleep. Almost everyone. Superman falls asleep in mid-flight. So does Black Adam. But also, so do pilots. So what are their dreams and nightmares?

Wonder Woman is trapped in the Minyan maze of old, home to another spawn of Zeus, and she's bringing the dream selves of the Justice League Dark with her. Black Adam returns to his original Teth -Adam form. Superman, The Man Of Screams, is also the Man Of Tomorrow because he will outlive everyone. The Joker's nightmare is that he kills Batman. And has nothing left. So he has to get a desk job. Even Gaggy has had enough. Batman has to fight his mother's pearls and give birth to a monster flying gun, Man, Fox News will love that. And the dreams may break down, Constantine and Detective Chimp make it into Wonder Woman's dream, Supergirl into Superman's and Batman into Black Adam's.

Who is still awake? No Sleep Till Gotham

Batman is only awake because he is possessed by Deadman. However, he did try with the No Sleep Till Gotham protocols. Also awake are Zatanna because she's magic. Red Tornado because she's a robot, Lois Lane. Peacekeeper One because he's a cyborg. All the Atlanteans because, I dunno, they were underwater? Those on the Skywatch satellite, like Winter and Scarecrow, because they are up in the sky. And, thanks to Batman's own protocols that failed him, so is Damian Wayne. But those who wake are being hunted by the Sleepless Knights.

Who will be revived? Dodds Not Dead

Well, Wesley Dodds, the original Sandman, is back from the dead in the modern day, handy for any new Justice Society Of America to come. Deathstroke is Murder Man and works for Insomnia, but has his own ambitions to get out of the nightmare world. Will this be how he returns to life again?

Knight Terrors is coming. The first double-page spread from Knight Terrors: First Blood #1 sees John Dee, Doctor Destiny, approaching the Justice League's abandoned Halls Of Justice. Bleeding Cool previously wondered if, given the character's prominence in the Netflix TV show, he would feature in this series as a bit of corporate synergy, and so it is. The solicitation for DC Comcis' Knight Terrors Free Comic Book Day comic stated, "The story starts as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman discover the dead body of one of their earliest enemies at the Hall of Justice" and even though no scene like that happened in the comic, it looks as if it may be doing in this Knight Terrors previews, which suggests that Doctor Destiny will die when he enters the Halls Of Justice. And it's already been turned into a nightmare palace.

The chronological tie-in issues to the event are yet to be published.
