DC’s summer 2023 event, Knight Terrors, was a large-scale story that brought together almost every hero and villain in the DC Universe. The main story, a four-issue series by Joshua Williamson and Howard Porter, along with numerous tie-in comics, centered around the villain Insomnia, who put the world into a collective nightmare. His goal was to merge the Dream Stone and Nightmare Stone, unleashing the heroes’ deepest fears upon the world and destroying their public image. While the heroes struggled against Insomnia’s deeply personal attack, Damian Wayne and Deadman unexpectedly teamed up to fight back. Though the heroes ultimately won the battle, Insomnia achieved his larger plan. Despite an intriguing premise and strong tie-in stories, the core miniseries itself wasn’t as impactful, and the event arguably would have worked better as a smaller, more focused story.
