Despite Bruce’s efforts, Jason is tortured and killed in a warehouse explosion, leaving Batman consumed by grief. Alfred and Barbara, now transitioning into Oracle, try to reach Bruce as he grows more violent. He tracks Joker and Harley to an abandoned theater. In a savage showdown, Batman brutally beats Joker, ready to kill him—until Nightwing arrives, throwing a batarang that stops Bruce. “Jason wouldn’t have wanted this,” Dick says. Bruce backs down, shaken. Joker and Harley flee, but Batman catches up during their escape. Joker escapes into the night, but Harley is arrested, tearfully calling after him. Bruce watches silently, darker than before. Back in the Batcave, he stares at Jason’s vandalized suit—a symbol of failure he swears not to repeat. Post Credits: While analyzing data at the Bat-Computer, Bruce’s screens flicker. A chilling message hijacks the system—General Zod’s voice echoes: “You are not alone.” Bruce stands, eyes narrowing.
