Who Wakes, Who Sleeps And Who Dreams In Knight Terrors? (Spoilers)
Knight Terrors kicks off tomorrow for DC Comics, but how will it affect everyone? If the whole world sleeps, who remains awake? And how?
Bleeding Cool has run a little Knight Terrors gossip over the last few weeks regarding the upcoming DC Comics event crossover that kicks off tomorrow with Knight Terrors: First Blood and a bunch of other titles. We looked at what might be going down for First Blood, especially Batman's No Sleep Till Gotham protocols, but how will it affect everyone else? As the whole world sleeps, who remains awake?
We previously stated, "Batman is only awake because he is possessed by Deadman." But that means he's not really awake, he's dreaming of giving birth and of a certain Insomnia invading his dreams looking for his Nightmare Stone. Did John Dee hide it in Batman's mind? Is there room for all the alternate personas taking up mental real estate? Knightmare Terrors: Batman #1 finds room.
Or did he leave it in The Joker's dreaming? Which is looking more and more like The Office. As we previously said, "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" in Knightmare Terrors: Joker #1.
We also mentioned that the awake would include "Peacekeeper One because he's a cyborg" and " Those on the Skywatch satellite, like Winter and Scarecrow, because they are up in the sky" And guess what? Knightmare Terrors: Ravager #1 reveals all.
And "thanks to Batman's own protocols that failed him, so is Damian Wayne" in Knightmare Terrors: Batman #1.
Poison Ivy is definitely asleep and dreaming about Batman in Knightmare Terrors: Poison Ivy #1…
But has to get Nightwing's butt while car washing in there first.
And so is the Joker.
Poison Ivy is dreaming about Catwoman…
And so is Batman.
As long as you don't check in with real life over in Injustice: Gods Among Us crossovers over in Jon Kent: Adventures Of Superman #5…
What's a Knight Terror and what's a parallel universe these days? It's all a game of mix-and-match…
