* The Dark Multiverse in general. Imagine a multiverse where unstable universes that ''shouldn't'' exist ''do'' exist. A multiverse where the worst possible scenario that ''could'' happen ''did'' happen. A multiverse based off of a person's fears, hopes and regrets. A multiverse where these unstable universes eventually start to rot and decay. And the monstrous inhabitants of the these universes serve a giant dragon under the false pretense of having their worlds restored.

** The Dawnbreaker's origin: A teenage Bruce Wayne was given a Green Lantern ring immediately after the deaths of his parents, when his fear has been obliterated by grief and hate. Bruce overpowers the ring's law against killing through sheer willpower, enabling him to use lethal force and vaporize Joe Chill. After attempting to revive his parents and putting down their reanimated corpses, Bruce goes on a killing spree against Gotham's criminals and anyone who criticizes what he's doing, including ''Jim Gordon'' when Gordon tries to talk him down. Bruce sees no real reason for anyone to live in the void left by his parents' death and "unlocks" a new ability, Blackout, which extinguishes all light by bringing that void into the world and slaughtering his targets with eldritch constructs; this is how he kills the Green Lantern Corps when they try to reclaim the ring.

* And then there's Barbatos' himself. He was once giant dragon who was responsible for destroying unstable worlds born from the Forge of Worlds while the stable ones lived on. But he eventually turned on his master, the Forger of Worlds and allowed the unstable worlds to survive past their normal expectancy, creating the Dark Multiverse.

** The Murder Machine's origin: A Batman who was forced to watch Alfred die at the hands of Bane, he worked with Cyborg to create an artificial intelligence based on Alfred. The Alfred AI began killing Batman's enemies to keep Bruce safe, leading Cyborg to declare that it had gone too far; Bruce wanted to reprogram the AI, but when Cyborg insisted on deleting the AI, it forcibly merged with Bruce into a robot Batman capable of controlling nanotechnology and creating hardlight copies of himself and Alfred. Batman then killed the entire Justice League, leaving Cyborg for last. Cyborg begged him not to become this "Murder Machine" but "Batman" renounced his humanity as well as Thomas and Martha Wayne, considering the Alfred AI to be his real father, before killing Cyborg by ripping his head and spinal cord out of his body.

** The Merciless' origin: A Batman who was in love with Wonder Woman and who fought alongside her against Ares. When Wonder Woman was apparently killed Batman stole Ares' helmet and became the new God of War, killing Ares but became corrupted by the power of the helmet. What he didn't know was that Wonder Woman had just been stunned and when she regained consciousness, she begged Batman to remove the helmet; he refused and killed Wonder Woman when she tried to take it by force, an act which he still seems to regret despite going on to wipe out the Amazons as well as the gods themselves. Later, he steals the coins required to enter the Underworld from the Amazons, turning them into his undead soldiers.

* When the heroes finally start to get the upper hand thanks to the Element X/Tenth Metal, Barbatos decides to use his final contingency plan: have the Batman Who Laughs' dark matter mix with the Monitor's matter and the Anti-Monitor's brain anti-matter, resulting in a catastrophe that will leave nothing but darkness, allowing the Dark Multiverse and Barbatos to rule all of existence.

* When Batman realizes he's trapped in the Dark Multiverse and tries to get out, Barbatos decides he's done playing and shows Batman all the universes in the Dark Multiverse. And from these universes comes a whole army of twisted versions of not just Batman, but of ''all the DC heroes and villains''. Batman is so horrified that he ''begs'' Barbatos to stop and that he '''''gives up'''''. Wow. It would have to take a '''lot''' for someone to make Batman say, "I give up!"

** The Dawnbreaker's origin: A teenage Bruce Wayne who was given a Green Lantern ring immediately after the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne. His will alone overrides the ring's no killing rule and he vaporizes Joe Chill with it. He attempts to bring his parents back, only for them to be reanimated into zombies before he kills them. Then he goes on a massacre, killing every single criminal in Gotham, and even kills ''Jim Gordon'' when he tries to make Bruce see reason. When the Green Lantern Corps tries to arrest Bruce, he shows off a new move: Black Out, which sucks all the light out of an area before he slaughters them all with his ring's constructs.
** The Drowned's origin: Bryce Wayne, a gender bent Bruce Wayne, gets her lover, Sylvester Kyle (the gender bent Selina Kyle) killed by metahumans, resulting in Bryce becoming a racist towards all metahumans and going on a rampage killing them all. When the Atlanteans tried to make a peace treaty, Bryce killed their queen Aquawoman, resulting in a war starting. Bryce then painfully experiments on herself to give herself metahuman powers, resulting in her gaining not only Atlantean abilities, but also the ability to corrupt anything she comes into contact with into aquatic monsters.
** The Murder Machine's origin: A Batman who was forced to watch Alfred die at the hands of Bane, he worked with Cyborg to create an artificial intelligence based on Alfred to protect him, mentor him and heal him. Unfortunately, the Alfred AI worked too well in its program to keep Bruce safe and began killing all of Batman's enemies. When when Cyborg told Bruce it has gone too far and must be deleted, the AI, sensing itself in danger, assimilated itself with Bruce, turning him into a robot version of Batman capable of controlling nanotechnology and the ability to create copies of himself. After this, Batman killed the entire Justice League leaving Cyborg for last. Cyborg begged him not to become this "Murder Machine" and that there must be some humanity in him. The Murder Machine asked why would he ever want to be human again and declared that he doesn't consider Thomas and Martha Wayne his parents anymore, but Alfred. Or rather, the Alfred AI. And then he killed Cyborg by ripping his head and spinal cord out of his body.
** The Merciless' origin: A Batman whose girlfriend Wonder Woman was killed by Ares. With revenge on his mind, he stole Ares' helmet and became the new God of War, killing him in the process. What he didn't know was that Wonder Woman wasn't killed, but knocked out. When she saw Batman wearing Ares' helmet and armour, she begged him to take it off only for him to refuse. When she decided to fight him to get it off, he killed her.
** The Devastator's origin: The Superman of his world suddenly became evil and began attacking everything. Batman attempted to stop him with a Kryptonite spear, only to have his arm ripped off. With no choice and with all hope lost in his mind, Batman injected himself with the Doomsday virus, regenerating his arm and turning him into a Doomsday monster while keeping Bruce Wayne's mind. He kills Superman easily and then proceeds to infect everyone with the Doomsday virus, turning them into mindless Doomsday monsters.
** The Red Death's origin: A Batman who, after losing his entire family, kidnapped the Flash in an attempt to go back in time and save them. Flash tells him to stop, but Batman doesn't listen and straps him to the Batmobile and uses the Speed Force, but instead of going back in time, Batman and the Flash fused into a singular being with Flash trying to regain control but can't. The Red Death then learns to use the Speed Force to age people to death if he could, slaughtering all the world's enemies. And the Flash can only watch and beg Batman to stop.

* When Batman realizes he's trapped in the Dark Multiverse and tries to get out, Barbatos decides he's done playing and shows Batman all the universes in the Dark Multiverse. And from these universes come a whole army of twisted versions of not just Batman, but of Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Two-Face, Black Canary, Beast Boy, Green Lantern, Harley Quinn, Plastic Man, etcetera. Batman is so horrified that he ''begs'' Barbatos to stop and that he ''gives up''. Wow. It would have to take a '''lot''' for someone to make Batman say, "I give up!"

** Heck, just the fact that Barbatos had been manipulating all of Bruce Wayne's life for the sole purpose of freeing him is scary. How much of Batman's accomplishments and failures were of Bruce's own actions and how much of it were Barbatos' manipulations?

* The Batman Who Laughs' origin: a Batman who did the one thing everyone wanted him to do: Kill the Joker. Unfortunately, this caused a special Joker toxin to be absorbed into him that changes his moral code into that of the Joker's while keeping Bruce Wayne's orderly mind. What's one of the things he does when the transformation is beginning? He calls upon Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood and Red Robin to explain what has happened to him. They tell him they'll do everything in their power to save him. But then he reveals that the real reason he called them was because he knew they would be the first people to realize something different about him and alert the other heroes...something he cannot allow to happen. And then he guns them all down like dogs. Then we cut to a scene where ''all the Justice League except Superman are massacred! Not dead, massacred!'' And then he proceeds to kill Superman, Superboy and Lois Lane by exposing the former two with a special strain of Black Kryptonite, which mutates them into monsters and they kill Lois before they tear each other apart. He did the same thing to Supergirl off-panel. Oh, and he somehow "convinced" his version of Damian Wayne into becoming a Joker monster himself.
