Spoilers

DC Comics Universe and Batman and The Signal #2 Spoilers follow.

The Dark Nights Metal Origins Of Duke Thomas May Be Weaponized Against Gotham City’s Youth? Whoever has created these metahumans can also speak to them and even control them. In the prison, he controls them to stand down against the Signal…

…and he escapes while the juvenile delinquents don’t know what just happened or that they were controlled.

We get a look from the back of this all-powerful big bad. He certainly has an eye on and for the Signal.

At the morgue, the Signal discovers in a deceased metahuman youth that they had a piece of metal in them that appears yo have given them their powers. Its like Nth Metal, but different. Prolonged exposure, somehow, triggered the meta-gene in these youth.

Duke Thomas heads to see Batman and we get a recounting of his origins.

In the Batcave, the big bad makes his / its move.

Either the villain’s name is Gnonom or that is what he / it calls this new age of meta youth that he / it controls. For those curious, Gnonom refers to the “part of sundial that casts a shadow“.

And, the kids are going wild in Gotham City!
