Last night, we ran previously-unseen covers from the upcoming DC Comics Dark Nights: Metal spin-off one-shots featuring evil versions of Batman via various Justice League members from the Dark Multiverse. But the Murder Machine spin-off, starring a Batman-via-Cyborg adversary had something even more intriguing about its cover.

That's a Hal Jordan who has lost his right arm, with some kind of Green Lantern-generated tourniquet preventing him from bleeding out. Is this a new reality for the character?

Check this cover for Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #30 for October, the month after…

Is anyone else hearing the words "We're going to take this hand… off." And also check out this cover art for Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #29? What if the artwork has been flipped left to right?

Maybe Hal Jordan has some Justice League team-mates who might be able to offer some advice on such a thing?

And you know that's where Andy Diggle wanted to take Superman…

UPDATE: Or…

I love how "Hal missing an arm" is causing such a stir and yet people are ignoring the fact the 4 other heroes are literally dying. — Jason Fabok (@JasonFabok) August 5, 2017
