After being established in Dark Nights: Metal, the Dark Multiverse has played a pretty key role in a lot of storylines. Earlier this year, DC Comics even announced a set of stories set in the Dark Multiverse. The publisher has now provided CBR with an exclusive look at the first of those books: Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Batman - Knightfall #1, by writers Scott Snyder and Kyle Higgins alongside artist Javier Fernandez.

The preview, which you can see below along with the solicitation for the one-shot, sees Tempus Fuginaut -- who is watching over the Dark Multiverse -- reveal that a new crisis is coming, which he calls "perhaps the greatest yet." As such, he's looking to find those who might help in the coming fight.
