What does this mean for the storyline and the army of twisted alternate Batmans left without a leader? Dark Nights: Death Metal 2 shows us the answer: Wonder Woman killing the most villainous version of Batman has led to the creation of something much, much worse. Metal dealt with an incursion from the 'Dark Multiverse', a world where the optimistic superhero stories we know went wrong, turning them into nightmares that tried to invade the main DC Universe, led by The Batman Who Laughs, the most brilliant and ambitious Batman in the Dark Multiverse.

The League beat them back, but cracked the Source Wall that protects the universe from outside forces, resulting in the reawakening of an evil creator deity named Perpetua.

Wonder Woman, simultaneously the most peaceful member of the League and the most violent in times of war, decided to put an end to things by killing The Batman Who Laughs. But his minions seemed to take it all as according to plan, executing the next step: preparing the body of the 'Final Batman'. In Death Metal 2 , the true Batman warns Wonder Woman that her actions will cause his counterpart to 'evolve into some grand nightmare.

Their Alfred servants cut open the blue god's head and stuff the brain of the Batman Who Laughs inside. The being who wakes up may have the mind of the Batman Who Laughs, but proclaims that he is like no being that has ever existed; he's not everyone's favorite mashup anymore.

He reconfigures himself to lose the blue coloring and the Joker-like face, becoming a new creature called the 'Darkest Knight'. He keeps his transformation secret from his boss Perpetua, and it's clear why: with the power of the person who last rebooted the DC Universe, he's planning to challenge her directly, defeat her, and remake the multiverse in his image. He's also not the only new villain who surfaces in that scene.

The Darkest Knight destroys his minions for not being dark enough, but senses that one of his Joker-mutated Robins just might have what it takes.

He learns the boy's story, and while the reader doesn't get to know yet, it's impressive enough that the Darkest Knight promises to remake him into a worthy sidekick, a Robin King. With every issue of Death Metal, the stakes get cosmically higher. What shape will the evil that rules the world take next?

He played golf at Arizona State, lived here for another dozen years early in his career and played in the Phoenix Open a record 30 times. But appearing and playing at Phoenix Country Club?

Since Finnick was a Career Tribute, it is likely he killed a fair amount of tributes during his first Games and it is presumed that he killed the other careers. However, it is not confirmed whether he joined their alliance. During the 75th Hunger Games, he killed the District 5 male by throwing his trident at him during the initial bloodbath along with the District 9 male 75th HG.

Forced by President Snow and in order to stay popular in the Capitol, Finnick put on a flirtatious personality, fooling many of the Capitol's people into believing that they held his affections. If he did not oblige, someone beloved to him would be killed, however if he did he would be rewarded greatly.

His conquests were legendary throughout Panem and he was famed for being able to go through four or five people in each annual visit during the Hunger Games. However, in Catching Fire it was revealed that his one and only true love was Annie Cresta, the 70th Hunger Games victor, who went insane when she witnessed her partner tribute beheaded in the arena. During his last interview with Caeser Flickerman, he recited a poem addressed to his one true love in the Capitol; while many members of the audience believed they were the subject, it is implied that the poem was actually written about Annie.

In Mockingjay , it was revealed that President Snow prostituted Finnick out to wealthy Capitol citizens and if Finnick refused, President Snow would kill somebody he loved. Finnick also cared a lot for his mentor, Mags, who had volunteered to participate in the Games, instead of Annie. He became a closer friend to Katniss in Mockingjay.

He married Annie Cresta and the pair had one son together who was born after Finnick's death. Katniss first met Finnick at the opening ceremonies for the Quarter Quell while waiting for the chariots to leave Finnick approaches Katniss and offers her sugar. Katniss remains calm and composed although she feels a little uncomfortable by how close he gets to her and even more so when Finnick implies people pay him with secrets and asks Katniss if she has any secrets worth his time.

However, Katniss doesn't break his gaze and simply says she is an open book. During the 3 days training Finnick continues to be friendly to Katniss when talking to her and even offers to give her an hour of trident lessons in exchange for Katniss giving him an hour of archery instruction.

At the beginning of the 3rd Quarter Quell, Finnick Odair startled Katniss with his proposal for an alliance. She was unsure of how to react but accepted his offer after she noticed his golden bracelet that she knew came from Haymitch. However, he proved his usefulness and reliability by reviving Peeta when he accidentally ran into a force field, and saved Peeta in the midst of a fight even though it meant he got wounded himself.

At the beginning of Mockingjay , Finnick was deeply distressed and unable to focus on anything but saving Annie Cresta, who had been kidnapped and was being tortured in the Capitol. One of the ways he kept himself sane was by making knots with a rope, over and over again.

He later gave that same rope to Katniss to aid her during the bombing of District Soon, after talking to Katniss before Boggs came, Katniss mentions the trident Beetee made for him and to put on pants, in wear he jokingly whips his hospital gown off revealing only his underwear and jokes to Katniss if she found it distracting, to which she smiles to, hinting that she was glad that Finnick could at least joke around.

Katniss starts to realize Finnick's problems through the last few years and how he describes what President Snow did to him. While on the mission to President Snow's mansion, the group was attacked by lizard mutations and Finnick was decapitated before Katniss could rescue him.

As Finnick died, Katniss witnesses brief moments of his life, including a silver parachute bearing the trident that won him his Games, Mags' laugh, his life on the seas of District 4, and Annie's face. Finnick saves Peeta's life after Peeta runs into a force field—initially, Katniss believes Finnick is actually killing Peeta, while he is really performing CPR, something that is rarely seen back in District Finnick was willing to give up Mags to save Peeta because he needed to, to convince Katniss they were on the same side.

He receives a large cut in his leg when he was trying to save Peeta. During the events of Mockingjay, Finnick shows concern for Peeta, and goes out of his way to save Peeta's life again. After Peeta killed Mitchell, Finnick tried to calm him down and told Peeta it wasn't his fault. Johanna and Finnick were friends prior to the 75th Hunger Games, most likely having formed a bond during previous Hunger Games where they were mentors.

Katniss believed that Johanna was only in the alliance for Finnick, when in reality, she was protecting the Mockingjay so as not to end the rebellion early. The two seemed to trust each other well.

The two have a deep love for each other. Finnick mentored Annie and most likely did everything to keep her alive. It is unknown, however, if he fell in love with or even knew Annie before he became her mentor. During the interview with Caesar Flickerman, Finnick recited a poem for his one true love, Annie, although he did not mention her by name. During the third Quarter Quell, he heard Annie's screams during the jabberjay attack, and worried that the Capitol had tortured her.

In Mockingjay , he constantly worried about Annie and could not concentrate on anything else but her. He was out of his mind because Annie had been captured by the Capitol so they could torture her for information about the rebels. Finnick repeatedly tied knots as a way to distract himself. He broke down when he couldn't handle it anymore. Soon after the rebels rescued the prisoners from the Capitol. Finnick and Annie reunited and later the two got married. After the two were wed, Finnick never let go of Annie's hand.

Later, Annie had a son. However, Finnick died before he could meet him. When Finnick was reaped to the 65th Hunger Games, Mags was his mentor. He also said that she was one of the only people who actually liked him as Katniss and Peeta were about to leave the bloodbath with them. Johanna later told Katniss that Mags was half of his family. When Mags died in the third Quarter Quell, Finnick cried all through the night she died. Finnick Odair prides himself on his ability to make most anyone desire him, and it's this effortless charm that has made him such a favorite of the Capitol citizens.

Anyone who has met Finnick in a party or social gathering or seen him interviewed would doubtlessly claim that he is always relaxed, always smiling, and an open book.

Finnick is easy to get along with and can make conversation with almost anyone. He's not difficult to please, easily entertained, and easily distracted.

Finnick himself would admit that he is flighty and shallow, though anyone who takes the time to know him beyond a surface level would discover that there is more depth there than he cares to let on. Finnick is known for his frequent and varied sexual partners.

When he comes to the Capitol, he is well known for going through four or five lovers in one visit. For the most part, people assume he does this for the gifts or attention he receives. Unknown to most, however, Snow orders him to spend time with the wealthier citizens of the Capitol and if he refused, Snow would threaten to torture people he cares about.

As such, Finnick complies, but remains emotionally unattached to most of his trysts. He harbors a love for another Hunger Games victor, Annie, and would remain monogamous to her under more ideal circumstances. When they first meet, Katniss views Finnick as extremely flirtatious and notices that he uses a "seductive purr" when speaking.

She is unable to read his motives when they are in the arena together but believes that she would be better off killing him sooner rather than later, until he revives Peeta. When they take refuge in District 13, Katniss begins to understand Finnick's pain more. His grief over Annie's torture mirrors hers about Peeta, and she feels bad for him as he grows more and more unstable.

When he reveals through a propo that Snow has forced many desirable victors into prostitution, Katniss is utterly stunned; she manages to restrain herself, but wants to interrupt the filming and beg Finnick's forgiveness for every bad thing she thought about him. After he reunites with Annie and subsequently marries her, Finnick's true personality is revealed; Katniss notes that he radiates life, and has self-effacing humor and an easy going nature.

It is also noted that he never lets go of Annie's hand because he is afraid of losing her yet again. It should also be noted that while Finnick gets along fine with most people, when he cares about someone, he cares deeply. He is willing to put those he cares about ahead of himself and will risk his own well-being to protect his loved ones. Finnick is described by Katniss as extremely handsome. He is tall, athletic and chiseled, with tanned skin, bronze hair, and especially stunning sea-green eyes.

In the arena, Finnick's enormous stamina helps keep the alliance of Districts 4 and 12 alive, as he spends much of the first day of the Quarter Quell carrying first Mags and later Peeta who is injured on his back with little real effort.

The only time Finnick falters is when he is carrying Peeta away from the poisonous fog, and only because the fog begins to affect Finnick's arms.
