La destrucción multiversal alcanza su punto crítico. Los desgarros entre Tierras permiten a los villanos cruzar libremente los mundos, y el Joker emerge como líder absoluto, eliminando a sus variantes y formando un ejército de villanos multiversales con el objetivo de conquistar todas las Gotham. Jason Todd y Alfred caen ante su furia, dejando cicatrices imposibles de sanar en Bruce. Vicki Vale también sufre el caos a su alrededor. Batman y los de otras Tierras lideran la defensa. Cada uno emplea tácticas distintas: Keaton organiza estratégicamente, Nolan anticipa ataques, Batfleck actúa brutalmente y Bruce coordina a los sobrevivientes. Las calles de Gotham se convierten en un campo de batalla multiversal, donde Bane, Ras al Ghul, Scarecrow, Dos Caras, Poison Ivy, Riddler, Harley Quinn, Deadshot y otros villanos atacan sin piedad. Cada victoria cuesta vidas, cada derrota profundiza las grietas entre las Tierras. En un esfuerzo final, los Batmans enfrentan oleadas de enemigos en combates paralelos. Bruce derrota a Hugo Strange enviándolo a un agujero negro, mientras Ledger es regresado a su universo. Gotham queda devastada, los héroes supervivientes exhaustos. El Consejo de los Bruces se disuelve y cada Batman regresa a su mundo. Bruce se retira, dejando la capucha, y Nightwing asume la protección de Gotham. La ciudad y el multiverso comienzan a reconstruirse, pero las pérdidas son irreparables y el legado de Batman queda marcado por un sacrificio imposible de olvidar.
