The Ends Of Knight Terrors This Week From DC Comics (Spoilers)

This week sees DC Comics publish Knight Terrors #3 as well as the second finale tie-ins from Knight Terrors mini-series Shazam, Green Lantern, Flash, Robin, and Zatanna. We've previously looked at which Knight Terrors tie-ins have the potential to matter to the main Knight Terrors narrative and which are "Purple Skies" crossovers that don't seem to have any further implications regarding their place in the DC Universe.
Knight Terrors: Shazam sees the Shazam family, even in their dreams, getting their Shazam natures restored. Will this play out in the SHazam series as a whole?
It does promise a tie-in with Knight Terrors: Night's End #1 for later in the month.
Green Lantern: Knight Terrors sees Hal Jordan embrace the whole horror concept.
While Sinestro gets a family reunion.
And a promise of a Knight Terrors: Night's End #1 tie-in and the Sinestro stuff coming up in the next Green Lantern.
Knight Terrors: The Flash #2 also goes for the horror thing and remembers to bring the monsters.
Also, promising a continuance into Knight Terrors: Night's End #1… but not every tie-in is so diligent.
Knight Terrors: Robin #2 just has folks waking up without any such promises. And a very definite end, rather than continuing into anything.
While Zatanna and Robot Man in Knight Terrors: Zatanna #2 finds a new allegiance between them…
…that according to come gossip may have a continuance after Knight Terrors…
And as we have discovered before, some comic books at DC Comics want to get in on the Knight Terrors vibe even if they aren't actually crossing over, such as World's Finest: Teen Titans…
But no, this has even less to do with Knight Terrors as Knight Terrors: Robin. And for those who want to look away…
…Knight Terrors #3 won't let you.
…even if you are Batman. More on the long-term effects on Batman to come…
