SHATTERED WORLDS | DC (2022)

Year 5: Across The Multiverse

Batman

Batman and his team found themselves in a new alternate dimension, greeted by a bright sky and a cool breeze that rustled through unfamiliar surroundings. For a moment, the three of them stood still, absorbing the serenity of this world, a stark contrast to the turmoil of their own. It was a peacefulness they hadn't felt in years, free from the scars and struggles that marked their old world.

But Batman, always vigilant and focused, quickly snapped them out of their reverie. He knew that time was of the essence, and they couldn't afford to lose themselves in this newfound tranquility. With a determined tone, he rallied his team, reminding them of their mission and the urgency that surrounded it.

"Stay focused," Batman ordered, his voice cutting through the calm. "We can't afford to linger here. We have a job to do, and we need to act quickly."

His words were a stark reminder that their journey had just begun, and the challenges of this unfamiliar dimension awaited. Batman, Harley, Zatanna, and Tim Drake steeled themselves for what lay ahead, ready to face whatever trials this world had in store.

As Batman and his team teleported into the Hall of Justice, they were met with a scene of controlled chaos. An emergency meeting appeared to be in full swing, with heroes and officials gathered, deep in discussion. The sudden arrival of the four of them brought an abrupt silence, and all eyes turned toward Batman.

Superman, wearing a puzzled expression, was the first to speak. "Bruce? What are you doing here, and why is Harley with you?"

Before Batman could respond, The Flash moved with his characteristic speed and apprehended Harley. But Batman quickly intervened. "No, wait, don't arrest her," he said urgently, causing everyone in the room to pause, their confusion growing.

Diana, equally perplexed, asked, "What's going on, Bruce? Where have you been?"

Realizing that he needed to provide an explanation, Batman gestured for everyone to sit down. "This is going to be a long story," he began, "but I need everyone to listen carefully. I'll explain everything about my dimension, what has happened, and why I need your help to reclaim my world."

With those words, Batman launched into a detailed account of the alternate dimension he had visited, the dire situation his world was facing, and the urgent need for their assistance. As he spoke, the room was filled with a mix of shock, disbelief, and concern, setting the stage for a pivotal moment in their ongoing battle for justice.

As Batman finished his detailed account of his origin from another dimension, the room was filled with a palpable sense of astonishment. Clark, still processing the information, was the first to speak up. "So, then you aren't from our dimension?"

Batman nodded solemnly. "That's correct. I'm from another world entirely."

Martian Manhunter chimed in, "That would explain why our Batman, along with Hal, have gone missing too."

Bruce's brows furrowed. "Your Batman is missing?"

Hawkman added to the discussion, "Yes, not too long ago, the two of them disappeared from the radar without a trace."

Zatanna suggested, "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we are here, in this alternate dimension."

Superman, ever the leader, took charge of the situation. "If that's the case, and after hearing what has happened in your dimension, we need to act quickly. How can we help?"

Batman wasted no time in formulating a plan. He issued orders, instructing everyone to retrieve the necessary devices to replicate the same teleportation technology that had brought them there. The urgency in the room was palpable as the heroes prepared to take action and set in motion a mission to restore order to Batman's shattered world.
