At first things that were within my comfort zone, Swamp Thing and then Batman, and other opportunities came along, like Superman.
Really what happened was that the opportunities opened. I never thought I’d get much of a chance, even in Batman, I thought I’d be more of a kind of crime, horror writer on the side. I started on “Black Mirror” in Detective Comics and I always thought that that was going to be my lane to drive in.

The thing I love about the series is that it’s a synthesizing of all the different things I’ve learned to do in superhero comics, and love doing. It’s more grounded and, it sounds silly, because it also has this element of cosmic, bonkers horror, where different versions of Bruce Wayne are being brought here through these portals into the Dark Multiverse.
Scott Snyder: You know, Batman Who Laughs is an interesting one for me because it’s the closest thing I’ve done in a while to my early stuff, where it has a lot more needlepoint, dark, psychological character work and it’s paced out differently. We had the chance to talk to Snyder about The Batman Who Laughs, where it fits into his broader Batman story, what he’s seeding for Joshua Williamson and David Marquez in Batman/Superman, and what other Justice groups are coming to Justice League. His migration to the main DCU gave Snyder a chance to reunite with his “Black Mirror” and Wytchesart partner, Jock, and to launch a new top tier DC supervillain out into the world for other people to play with. The Batman Who Laughs started life as a Jokerized Bruce Wayne from the Dark Multiverse, in one of the most exceptionally messed up spinoff comics from the entire Dark Nights: Metal crossover. Snyder’s time with Greg Capullo on Batman helped him redefine Bruce Wayne’s world, landed him the multiverse-reshaping Dark Nights: Metal gig and eventually saw him get to steer the entire ship of the DC Universe in the pages of Justice League.Īnd while he’s busy building new multiverses and starting a war across time between the Justice League and the Legion of Doom in one book, he’s also penning a culmination of sorts to his Batman stories. He was a rising star when he got the gig on Detective Comics, and that book led to him being handed the reins on the New 52 relaunch of Batman and turned him into the character’s defining voice of the era. Enter one of the most punishing Batmen of the Dark Multiverse: the Grim Knight!Ĭollects The Batman Who Laughs #1-6.Want to feel old? Scott Snyder’s breakout Batman story, “The Black Mirror,” was released almost 10 years ago. the rule that created this insatiable villain-the Batman Who Laughs!Īs Bruce begins to deduce that his current life is somehow wrong and that all the mistakes he's made are somehow connected, the Batman Who Laughs unleashes a brand-new evil. When Bruce Wayne realizes the only way to stop this madman is to kill him, he must consider violating the very rule Batman can't ever break. The Batman Who Laughs not only survived his fight with The Joker at the end of Dark Nights: Metal, but is now enacting a sinister plan across the Multiverse-something both terrifying and oddly familiar. The mastermind behind Dark Nights: Metal, Scott Snyder, gives you a look inside the most terrifying version of Batman ever! He and superstar artist Jock (Batman: The Black Mirror) kick off a chain of events that makes Dark Nights: Metal seem like child's play. "A Batman who laughs is a Batman who always wins."
