After being freed from Arkham Asylum by an evil version of the Justice League known as "the Crime Syndicate" from Earth 3, Thomas Wayne, Jr., also known as Owlman, flees to the universe where the Syndicate hail from, believing he has finally found a new sense of purpose in this team. At the same time, whilst taking the place of his Earth 3 counterpart, Thomas begins to plot with the Crime Syndicate on how they should kill the Justice League from Thomas's Earth, especially knowing they'll go looking for the newly absent Batman in the event of the multiverse slowly beginning to collapse.
