Will DC's Knight Terrors Begin With Death of Sandman's Doctor Destiny?

Bleeding Cool had wondered if the upcoming line-wide crossover Knight Terrors would feature Doctor Destiny as its antagonist?

DC Comics has updated details to their Dawn of DC #1 Free Comic Book Day Special Edition, going to FOC today. Previously, Bleeding Cool had wondered if the upcoming line-wide crossover would feature Doctor Destiny as its antagonist? Given his prominent appearance in the recent Netflix Sandman TV adaptation? Well, maybe. This is what DC Comics are saying about the crossover event, now being previewed for Free Comic Book Day for the 6th of May.

DC's previously announced Dawn of DC 2023 FCBD Special Edition now has the expanded title of Dawn of DC Knight Terrors 2023 FCBD Special Edition, and will set the stage for the two-month horror-focused Knight Terrors event, headlined by an all-new story from Joshua Williamson, Howard Porter, and—in his first DC work in years—Chris Bachalo! This can't-miss prelude issue, also including behind-the-scenes looks at the chilling design work for this unique story, has a new cover by superstar artist Jason Fabok, seen above (final version will have trade dress). The story starts as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman discover the dead body of one of their earliest enemies at the Hall of Justice. Their investigation takes them past the land of the living, beyond the land of the dead, and into a realm of nightmares. The only way to save the world is to call for the help of an unlikely hero, Deadman.

"One of their earliest enemies at the Hall of Justice"? Well, Doctor Destiny appeared in 1961, in Justice League Of America #5 and and was created by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky.

Art by JIM BENTON
Ernest Fann idolizes Batman. It might not even be much of a stretch to say he wants to model his life after him. So, with no training or superpowers, young Ernest dons a new secret identity as Gerbilwing and decides to set up a crime-fighting unit consisting entirely of his best friend, his babysitter, and his dog. But things get complicated when Ernest and his friends visit a bank in the middle of a robbery being committed by a werewolf! Will the Batman Squad taste defeat on their very first day of crime-fighting? Fann Club: The Batman Squad is a great send-up of the Batman mythos as well as a series of silly adventures from the mind of satirist Jim Benton.
