However, what hasn’t been revealed is how May 2020’s FCBD 2020 offering, called Generation Zero: Gods Among Us and featuring Wally West the Flash as the new Doctor Manhattan and Metron amalgam and its Generation Zero storyline, tie into Dark Nights: Death Metal. Nor any reference to the new DC 5G timeline, although, that could make up the end of the Dark Nights: Metal series.
Having said that, we know that we will be getting five one-shots featuring the five generations of DC beginning in May 2020 with a Justice Society of America focused one called Generation One: Age of Mysteries, but the connection to Death Metal remains unclear.
Interesting times ahead.
