Getting it out of the way early also allows Damian to explain to the reader what’s happening more clearly, since this issue is meant to introduce the premise for the entire event. It actually plays out as a bit of a comedic beat with how absurdly over-trained Damian is in all facets, like a parody of Batman’s prep time. Mercifully, Damian manages to avoid all that by almost immediately deducing what’s going on. Whenever these types of stories show up, it’s almost obligatory to have a stretched out sequence of the character not realizing they’re in a dream. With Dawn of DC Knight Terrors Free Comic Book Day Special Edition (what a mouthful!) we finally get a first glimpse of what to expect. Regardless, the question on everyone’s mind is whether this event will be worth interrupting everyone else’s stories for two full months, like what happened with Future State a couple years back. Far be it from me to tell DC how to do their jobs, but I’m baffled by the decision to do this event in the Summer as opposed to around Halloween. For the months of July and August, almost every ongoing comic that DC publishes will be part of an event which sees their characters trapped in a “Nightmare Realm” where they must face their deepest fears.
