They Keep On Killing Off Batman- This Week's Knight Terrors Spoilers

In last week's Knight Terrors: The Joker, we discovered that the Joker dreamt of killing Batman, keeping the corpse of his greatest enemy in his wardrobe.

In last week's Knight Terrors: The Joker, we discovered that the Joker dreamt of killing Batman accidentally, getting an office job, but keeping the corpse of his greatest enemy in his wardrobe at home. Looking a little like this…

In tomorrow's Knight Terrors titles from DC Comics, it's not just the Joker who is dreaming of killing Batman, but also a certain Dick Grayson…

…while Punchline dreams of killing a different Bat-character.

While others are pursued themselves in their dreams by their nearest and dearest.

Or haunted by deaths from long ago and other realities.

For Superman and Nightwing…

While Punchline gets to look back at the launch of the new 52, a nightmare for many.

As well as the biggest fears of the future for a man who will live at least a million years.

With nightmares that cut deep…

And just as it looks that the Joker will become a Batman, so Punchline becomes a Batgirl.

Gliding as yellow… and doing it more successfully than even Batman does in his dreams.

Though in Wonder Woman's dreams, John Constantine does his best impersonation of Basil Exposition, just to catch everyone up.

You know what that sounds like a load of, John?

It is peculiar that one title not taking part in the line-wide DC Comics crossover, The Vigil, wants to try and play the game as well.

Sleep-deprived experimental mystical subjects manipulated to will dreams into reality, through their delusion. Sounds just the kind of thing Insomnia might have been into to locate the Nightmare Stone. But as Bleeding Cool ran gossip about earlier, there are some folk who have remained fully awake. Could surface tension have protected those beneath the sea from Insomnia's worldwide slumber?

The Atlanteans are awake. At least Aquaman's family are. The bigger question may be how come DC Comics editorial didn't tell us that "Aquaman And Family Turn The Tide!" I thought that was contractually mandated.
