The red carpet event had started 4 hour prior to the release of the series so everyone had got enough time to introduce each other. Luffy and others had the time of their lives as this was new to them unlike the Captains and the shinobis. So of course he was louder than normal, and not that it mattered to anyone.
After having a fun time, it was time to go and watch the series that they had been waiting for.
"Luffy are you caught up with the story?" John asked as he had given him the full DC series to begin with but Luffy had very few brain cells when it came to understanding stories and the gravity of it. He just hoped that he had enough brain for this.
"Don't worry, we have forced him to understand and even took exams on this." Sanji said as he was smoking his cigarette.
"Hope so!!
John had less hope for Luffy than any other person but then again, Luffy was just one of his favourites.
As the shenanigans ended, it was time for everyone to enter the huge theatre that Disney had made over the course of time. Soon everyone took their seats.
The series started with a grim tone. The first thing shown to the audience was that as the multiverse existed, there were different kinds of universes out there. Until now, we only have seen the good side of the multiverse.
It was a struggle for sure but at least there was a good end to the story. But this wasn't always the case.
"There are different universes out there. Some good. Some neutral. But there are some which are just bad apples. Those universes were called Dark Universes, or collectively the Dark Multiverse."
The exposition was done and now it was time for the main scene.
Earth -22
The story showed Batman and his childhood which by now had almost become a meme. Though people were still afraid of the actual Batman, the famous scene of the death of his parents was still famous for people around.
The story was normal but it soon turned as Joker went on a killing spree. Joker noticed that the chemical that made him Joker was slowly killing him and so in a feat of rage he went to kill everyone he had known.
Batman had to make the tough call at the end to kill Joker to save Gotham, but during his murder of Joker he himself got affected by the same chemical. And that was when hell broke loose.
Batman got transformed into a hybrid of Joker and Batman, becoming the famous Batman who Laughs. And this was just the beginning. He proceeded to kill the Justice League, made an army of Robins from the army that Joker had made using his chemicals and controlled this army.
And at the end ruling their Earth with an iron fist.
People expected a dark story but bloody hell this was dark. The people saw how cruel he was, how he murdered the entire Justice League in cold blood. Made supergirl kill her own family before killing her himself using Black Kryptonite.
And this was just one Dark Universe.
The scene changed and then it showed another Earth. An Earth where Superman went rogue and then he started causing havoc all around. Batman saw no other choice but to inject himself with the Doomsday virus to make himself powerful enough to kill Superman.
He transformed into Devastator and he himself later became the menace.
Then in another universe it was Batman who was rogue from the get go. He wanted Barry to go back in time to save his parents. He wanted to see his parents very badly and he went so insane that he went to lengths to get the power of Speed Force. And at the end he got his wish, and thus became the Red Death.
This went on as different versions of Batman were shown. Some where he was rogue from the start or some which happened by accident. This sent a chill in the spines of the people. The person who played Batman had been the same from the start, so when he got the script he was so excited that he almost jumped in his spot.
When he signed up for Batman, he didn't think much, but the role of Batman only made him get movies which were of one dimension. But this series was his redemption, this series will show that he could play all the roles of Batman easily.
After this lengthy dark part of the universe was shown, it was finally time to show the real story. The story of the actual Batman. The Batman who was thrown into the past by the Omega Sanction and his way back to his home.
But on his journey he came across an enemy. An enemy who was his maker and his nemesis too.
Barbatos, the Bat-God.
