Do the events here tie in with DC's Metal Knights?

Which part?

@AnotherBatmanFan so it's revealed that monitor and anti-monitor have a brother world forger. World forger had a dragon who would destroy universes that were deemed unstable and the Dragon is Barbatos the over arching villain of the event.

I think in the story there are moments talked about in previous stories. Like batman getting sent back in time, baby darkseid, court of owls etc.

Apologies if I'm just talking rubbish I'm still trying to wrap my head around the state of the multiverse after events of flashpoint.

1. Wouldnt that tie it closer to CoIE than Final Crisis?

2. Yeah its complicated. Darkseid sent the Hyper Adaptor back in time to hunt Bruce. It then assumed the guise of Barbatos, which is how Dr. Hurt got involved and ended up gaining immortality from it due to the fact that its time travelling. I never fully understood how the court fit in since they werent shown back then, but its prolly something that got retconned in by N52. Either that or they only knew about Barbatos and not Hyper Adapter.

3. Dont try to understand it. A lot doesnt make sense.

Side question, Was Hurt aware of the Court? Was he a member? Afterall, hes lived in Gotham 100+ yrs
