New Episode: Metal Part I



New Episode: Metal Part I


Batman has gone missing and the race for Metal has begun! The Dark Knights and the Justice League scour the universe for rare forms of Metal - the keys to victory in the war between the Multiverse and the Darkness. As heroes and villains alike race across Earth, Oa, Themyscira, and beyond, the Bruce Waynes of the Dark Multiverse hatch plans of their own.

For a limited time, special “Event” versions of all content in Metal Part I will be available to all players, level 15+ as well! Look for these Event versions in the Events tab of your On Duty menu.

Central City is in disarray. Dark lightning bolts are striking randomly, causing fear and chaos. Criminals in the city are taking advantage of the situation, looting businesses and mugging citizens.

Dark Knights Time Capsule



Dark Knights Time Capsule


Evil will soon be on the move in Episode 35: Metal Part I. Get a head start on your nightmares with the Dark Knights Time Capsule, and spread the fear. This capsule, like all Time Capsules, can be unlocked with Stabilizers or purchased directly in the Marketplace. Stabilizers can be earned in-game or purchased in the Marketplace. 

If you’re looking to learn more about how to get, open, and use a Time Capsule - or what is in previous Time Capsules - check out our helpful guide!


Dark Knights Gear Styles


Batman. Joker. The Dark Multiverse. When combined, these three conjure up terrible, twisted reflections of our world. Inspired by The Batman Who Laughs, the Laughing Knight gear styles should provide plenty of sleepless nights and horrifying dreams for you, your friends, and anyone who has the unfortunate luck to bump into you in-game.

You will receive a random gear piece in your loot selection window in every Dark Knights Time Capsule you open. When consumed, the gear will become level-appropriate to your character. The Enhanced version of the gear will also appear (less commonly) in the loot selection window, and when consumed will also become level-appropriate to your character.   



Dark Knights Collection Styles


It is unclear if the Dark Multiverse is rising into our world or if our world is descending down into it. Either way, chaos and dark visions await. Embrace the power of what's to come with the Orange Flux Fire Aura, be the twisted monster you were born to be with the Minotaur Helmet, or become the darkness itself with the Ink Material. These styles are earned through collections, which will appear in the loot selection window for every Dark Knights Time Capsule. 




Dark Knights Classics


The Dark Knights Time Capsule features many classic, fan-favorite auras in all-new color variants and new chroma materials. Like everything else, these will randomly appear in the loot selection window when you open a Dark Knights Time Capsule. 

  • Auras
    • Pink Ultimate Aura
    • Blue Energy Vortex Aura
    • Green Mystic Aura
    • Red Umbral Aura

      • Plus, modular versions of all of the above!




  • Materials

    • Red Metal Chroma Pack
    • Purple Metal Chroma Pack
    • Green Metal Chroma Pack
    • Bronze Metal Chroma Pack
    • Blue Metal Chroma Pack
    • Dark Metal Chroma Pack







Dark Knights Comic Covers


Finally, open 15 Dark Knight Time Capsules to complete a feat and receive six comic book covers from the Metal story arc. These come as base items, in both a regular movie-poster sized version and a large there-goes-my-whole-wall version. 




AVAILABLE AUGUST 22, 2019!


The Dark Knights Time Capsule will launch on August 22, 2019. Log in and unlock yours!
