Batman failed to defeat Barbatos and became the conduit through which Barbatos could conquer and destroy all worlds. This left only Duke Thomas alive. Duke has spent the last several years travelling from world to world as the sole remaining Monitor trying to defend the Multiverse. He returns to Earth-0 after failing on every single planet. He is confronted by the Barbatos’ dragons, corrupted monstrous versions of Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Superman. Superman begins to eat him, when Dick Grayson arrives and stuns them with his axe, allowing Duke to escape. Duke follows Dick back to the old Justice League base where Dick, Kendra, Hawkman, the skeleton remains of the Flash, and a Hybrid of Bobo and Red Tornado live. He is able to convince them that they can defeat the dragons, Hawkman reveals that death is coming anyways so they set off to fight. The group attacks the Batman Who Laughs freeing the Joker Dragon to join them in fighting the dragons. They attack the dragons and are each able to defeat a single dragon while dying in the process. This leaves just Duke and Barbatos. Duke uses teleportation to enter Barbatos and kills a shackled Bruce that Barbatos is using for power. Duke then leaves to hunt monsters in the Multiverse, including DC’s version of the Watcher that has been narrating all of these tales.
