• Collected in Dark Nights: Death Metal - The Multiverse Who Laughs.

Trivia

• The Robin King saying that "a Multiverse who Laughs is a Multiverse who wins" is a homage to a quote from The Batman Who Laughs #1 where The Batman Who Laughs told the Monitor that "a Batman who laughs is a Batman who always wins" which, in turn, is a pun on the recurring concept that "Batman always wins".
