Funny / Dark Nights: Death Metal

Go To

  • Anything that comes out of B-Rex's mouth, especially when he gets defensive over his miniscule arms.
  • Batom being squished under the tires of Batmobeast.
  • The increasingly ludicrous lineup of nightmare Batmen. Some are reasonably serious and scary, like Castle Bat or Bat-Mage, but the aforementioned B-Rex and Batom, plus guys like Baby Batman and the Rainbow Batman Corps really lean into the whole "the Dark Multiverse is where bad ideas manifest".
  • Darkfather's Parademons being Pararobins that screech "Holy kill!" and his Mother Boxes being Alfred Boxes.
  • From issue 3 when Lobo is slaughtering the Fifth Dimensional Impsnote , he comes across a sentient cartoon tree holding what he came for. This happens:
    Tree: Me? But... Mr. Wobo, I'm just a wittle twee, a harmless twee in da — OH #$%*$!
  • Penguin proclaiming that he "has a very sharp rock" in the middle of the climactic final battle, see Memetic Badass under YMMV.
  • Wally calling The Darkest Knight the "Batman Who Tries Too Hard".
  • John Constantine meets his evil alternate self. They blow off the big battle, get a drink at the local pub, and talk about their lives.
  • During the final battle, Lex Luthor gets jealous about Superman's long hair:
    Sergeant Rock: [narration] I've heard prayers for victory. For providence. Prayers for forgiveness. Whatever's in a soldier's heart, whatever longing, you hear it spoken then.
    Luthor: God, I wish I still had my hair. [to Superman] Look at you... fiend.
  • When the battle seems to be going too well:
    Superman: Bruce, you all right?
    Batman: ...Something doesn't feel right.
    Superman: You are missing your arm.
    Batman: It's not that.
  • The nature of Jarro's... um... mouthal equipment, and the prospect of him giving mouth-to mouth to a comatose Harley Quinn wakes her up abruptly with a shouted "ALIVE! I'M ALIVE!"
  • A couple of moments when Lex saves Superman from Last Sun (a corrupted version of Superman from one of the Last 52 worlds):
    • Him showing up:
      Last Sun: So this is how the great Superman dies. Look at you! Ugly, pathetic, alone.
      Lex: He's not alone! [under his breath] The rest is fine.
    • Why does Lex say he's doing this? Because the universe is coming to an end and he's going to kill at least one Superman before that happens.
