DC Black Label is a brand-new publishing imprint dedicated to giving premier writers and artists the chance to expand on DC’s unrivalled characters with unique, standalone stories set outside DC continuity.

As Isaac Newton once wrote, every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction. For if the Speed Force exists, then surely it must have an opposite? Such a concept does exist in the DC Universe, and it has a name: The Still Force.

The only way to take down this unimaginable threat is for the superhero teams of Earth to forget everything they thought they knew and form new alliances. What secrets of the cosmos will Superman, Martian Manhunter and Team Mystery discover? Will Zatanna, Wonder Woman and Team Wonder awaken alien magic they cannot put back to sleep?

Expect the DC Universe to get a LOT bigger, wilder and crazier as new Justice Leagues rise to fight the good fight. Justice League: No Justice kicks off this May with a four-part mini-series that shows just how different the new DC status quo is now that the dust of Dark Nights Metal has settled.

Backed into a corner in the penultimate issue of Dark Nights Metal #5, things are looking pretty grim for the heroes of a world that faces a new kind of danger. The Dark Multiverse rises, our reality sinks and an army of evil Batmen have run amok as the Justice League was picked apart. Bruce Wayne has been left to rot for decades as his hope was slowly murdered in front of him, Earth’s greatest warriors have been put through the ringer and doomsday is knocking on our front door. Where to from here? Spoilers below.

Once the Dark Multiverse and its nightmares have been defeated in March, expect some big changes to Earth’s first line of defense as the Justice League reassembles to tackle new cosmic-level threats.

Snyder’s run on Batman looks to be coming to a temporary end though. With Metal currently unfolding as Batman faces his worst fears made real in the form of a league of evil Dark Knights, Snyder is hoping to create an ending for his Batman in Batman: Last Knight. At the New York Comic Con, Snyder spoke about how Grant Morrison once advised that he give his superheroes “a birth and a death.”

If Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo really did lay some clues at the beginning of their Batman run, maybe they can be found right in front of us. Thanks to Dark Days: The Forge, we’ve already received one massive clue as to the focus of the mystery metal that plays so pivotal a role in the series: Immortality. Spoilers below.
