DC has released a colored preview of Dark Nights: Death Metal #1, by Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion and FCO.

"I will say one thing. One of the evil Batmen -- there's many evil Batmen in this story, just to let you know, and they come in all shapes and sizes," Snyder said February, which certainly makes sense considering the preview pages include a tyrannosaurus rex Batman. "Some are kind of ludicrous."
