Introduction

Batman Death Metal is an Iconic character in DC: Dark Legion. Batman Death Metal's role is Magical. Faction: Bat Family.

Is Batman Death Metal good?

Batman Death Metal might be the single strongest Champion in the game on raw stats: he summons Blackest Bats that deal heavy area damage and soak hits, and while any Bat is alive, he himself can't be targeted at all, giving a DPS Champion built-in protection nobody else has. On top of the summons he throws out his own area blast, Gotham Calling, so he brings both defense and damage in one kit.

The catch is entirely about access: he's only obtainable through a seasonal event with a minimum spend in the hundreds of dollars, and maxing his star level runs into the thousands, so almost nobody actually has him.

Pairs well with: All-Iconic squad (best team for high spenders); Bat Family: Nightwing and Batgirl in the backline with him, Red Robin and Batman in front.

Strengths

  • Untargetable while a Blackest Bat is alive, giving him unmatched built-in protection for a DPS Champion
  • Blackest Bats deal heavy area damage and are durable enough to absorb hits
  • Gotham Calling adds a separate area damage blast on top of the summons

Weaknesses

  • Untargetable state also blocks buffs and heals, so Ultimates need careful timing in manual play
  • Area damage can wipe his Blackest Bats and strip his protection
  • Extremely difficult to obtain, requiring a large real-money spend through a seasonal event
