You thought Zack Snyder's BatFleck was a grimdark edgelord? Let me introduce you Scott Snyder's The Grim Knight.




The best part about this is that this character was just introduced a month or two ago.

Long story short, he's an alternate universe Batman and he is a villain against Mainstream Universe Batman.

How he became this way, basically after Joe Chill killed Bruce's parents, somehow he dropped his gun, only for Bruce to pick it up and shot and killed Joe.

Now he is Punisher Batman who is armed to the teeth and locked and loaded.

Whatever, just wash your hands.
He has to be shipped with Kratos. There is no other option.

And this one doesn't miss the point that amoral edgy superheroes aren't something to admire?

God of War 2 and 3 era Kratos right?
God of war 2/3 Kratos for passion, god of war 2018 Kratos for the father figure who he obviously needs, also to call that Kratos daddy.

The version of Batman in Batman v Superman was intended to be a critical... never mind, you all know my shtick by now.

It's a parody that isn't aware that it's a parody.

No no no. I wanna know what you meant by what BvS Batman was meant to be intended?

A critical satire about Batman changing in the same jaded way the rest of the World did, I think.

Annnd moving on because this is now business as usual. Or do I need to remind everyone about Superboy Prime, Owlman (Really, all the villains in Crisis on Two Earths), the Justice Lords, Superman in Injustice, Hydra Supreme?

Actually, digging a little deeper, it looks like there's really nothing to see here. This is just another one of the evil Dark Knights from Dark Nights: Metal. You know, that series where the villains were all evil composite characters of Batman? Batman/Joker, Batman/Aquaman, Batman/Doomsday, Batman/Flash, Batman/Cyborg, Batman/Wonder Woman, Batman/Green Lantern? Yeah, the Grim Knight is another one of those and part of the follow up to that storyline.

Um, why is this an issue? You say he's an AU Batman that's in opposition to MU Batman. So is this descending into edgelord territory, or using edgelord territory as a counterpoint?

Yeah, this is nothing surprising or all that detached from the usual alt-universe fanfare. I'd only really hate this if mainstream Batman suddenly decided Punisher was cool. They can make all the Dark Age throwbacks they want.
