About the game

What you do in a play session

From the darkest corner of the multiverse comes the Batman Who Laughs, a villain bent on wiping out every version of Earth. In this Zombicide (2nd edition) expansion, the Justice League steps in to stop the twisted Dark Knight and his grotesque minions. The Dark Nights: Metal pack adds premium miniatures of iconic DC characters, mission cards, and beautifully illustrated scenario tiles that slot seamlessly into any Zombicide campaign. The core rules remain unchanged – a tense cooperative where each player controls a survivor with unique abilities, rolls dice to blast zombies, and completes mission objectives. The real spice is the new heroes, each bringing special powers and exclusive action cards, expanding tactical options. Playtime ranges from 60 to 120 minutes depending on player count (1‑6) and mission complexity. While the mechanics are easy to pick up, strategy can get deep as you juggle hero abilities and manage endless waves of the undead. Components are top‑notch: detailed miniatures, sturdy tokens, and striking tiles. Text is minimal and clear, letting you jump straight into the action. If you love Zombicide, DC super‑heroes, or just a good zombie brawl, this expansion adds a perfect dose of drama and dark humor to your tabletop sessions.
