DC Comics has released preview pages for the Batman: Murder Machine tie-in special in the wake of this week's release of Dark Nights: Metal #1.

In a statement teasing the event ahead of the first issue's release, Dark Nights: Metal scribe Scott Snyder said, “I’ve been planning METAL for as long as I’ve been writing Batman, but I want METAL to be built upon the stories happening now in Rebirth. Most of all we want to create new material that feels really modern and different. And above all, it’s going to be fun. Even with terror and nightmares, it won’t be grim. DARK NIGHTS: METAL will be celebratory, huge and crazy.”

Take a look at DC's Dark Nights: Metal - Batman: The Murder Machine #1 preview below.
