The Batman Who Acts

The End of the Beginning

Chapter 1 by Ray Charles Ray Charles

In the vast multiverse there existed a world that would soon become the most feared of them all, called the Injustice universe. But this future had not truly come to pass just yet, as the world had already been destroyed before the dark Superman could take it all over after the person they thought of as their friend all these years turned out to be an imposter!

No, no, that isn't the right word for it, as he had always been this Batman they knew of, and the one they invited along with all the wondrous memories they had together was with this man they thought of as Batman. Because everyone knows one simple rule of Batman's, and that is He... Doesn't... KILL!

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" This crazed Batman, or rather false Batman, screamed at Superman, Wonder Woman, and Hal Jordan, who was being kept alive through some super advanced healing chamber thing, as the false Batman wore not just his ring but his entire hand around his neck like some sick and twisted trophy. A few steps away from them was a very pregnant Iris West and Barry's already born twin kids as their father ran on the universal treadmill with all his might.

"How could you do this, Bruce! I thought we were friends?" Superman asks, seeming to be genuinely questioning life even if his eyes still look as if he were trying to laser beam Batman to ****. "Friends? FRIENDS!? I Was a friend! I could have been with any of the Justice League women; I could have been with Lois; I could have fucked Iris; I could have done so many things and been with so many women without any of you ever finding out! But I didn't because I respected our friendship enough to not do so."

"And would a true friend **** us all to like them?" Superman asked, looking more pissed than before, as everyone gasped in shock; even Barry, who was just gasping in general, seemed to have a different gasp when he heard this. "Yes," Batman said without remorse. "Especially because mine just makes you all like me even more than you already do. I mean, of course, because of the way it works and our jobs, you all get more huffs and puffs of it than others, but my point still stands!"

"You're the purest form of scum there is! You even took our Bruce from us!" Superman cried out, only to get smacked across the face by a very thug-like weapon, which was a sack full, and I mean completely full, of kryptonite that the false Batman had just hit him with. "I was your BRUCE! I was the one who helped free Hal from that sex scandal from space; I was the one who saved John from a trial he didn't commit; I WAS THE ONE WHO SAVED YOU ALL! The other Batman didn't even care about you; he was seconds away from declining your invitation. But NO, I'M THE BAD GUY FOR KILLING THE CRAPPY EDGE LORD AND TAKING HIS PLACE!"

Everyone without hesitation screamed out yes as best they possibly could, but that just got them even more **** from the mentally deranged Batman, and when he was done hitting everyone else, he walked on over to Iris. "Barry, I swear to whatever fucking god you believe in that the second I even think this thing is slowing down." He grabs a paintball-looking bat gun from his utility belt that seems to cause terror in everyone the second they see it.

It was even worse for Berry, however, as he pointed that thing at just the right angle to hit his entire family all at once. "I will shoot them with this, and we all already know what this does, DON'T WE!"

Everyone nervously looks on at the entire dead Justice League that had been killed by this **** Batman seemed to have made at some point in time, and unlike anything they've ever seen before, this gas **** was very potent as it killed every single league member no matter how their body worked and did so in a second; worse yet was that they all looked in pure and utter agony as their bodies lumped down.

"And don't worry, no matter how much Iris pretends to be asleep and cuts the bonds of your kids, you have my promise that." The fake Batman laughs almost like the Joker but even sadder and crazier if such a thing were even possible. "They are never getting out of that alive! The same goes for the rest of you, as everything I put you in has a secret little pill made of the same stuff as this, and I've made them fragile enough that anything besides Hal grabbing them, of course, can and will destroy them all, you bastards."

Iris clicks her tongue and throws one of her earrings away towards Batman. "Oh, you're pissed, well—" Batman kicks Iris in the face and grabs her hair and brings her up for all to see before throwing her back down on the floor again. "You all didn't call me the world's greatest detective, you know! And boy, do any of you have any damn idea how fucking hard it was to learn on the fly to be as smart as I am! I mean, I've had to go through countless... well, youz in order to perfect my abilities that you've seen."

Everyone wondered just what the heck this insane man was saying, but before they could even comprehend what he had meant, they heard the sounds of an alert coming all across the Watch Tower as the boom tube was being activated along with the shutters finally opening to reveal some spaceships and all the Lanterns in the galaxy surrounding the place.

But what truly shocked everyone was seeing the earth surrounded in a gas that looked just like the one Batman used to kill their fellow team members, as well as countless explosions big enough for all of them to see, not just Superman.

"You monster! I should have killed you when I—" Superman shouted before Batman turned around to face him with pure anger and hatred in his eyes. "You would have what! Gone on to kill Joker and take over the earth??? Well, news flash, I helped you, dumbass! I took care of the Joker without a single fucking person figuring it out; I even used a different Bruce Wayne's signature so that you'd never find out. Heck, I even wrote the damn card like the Joker, yet you still found out I chopped the fucker's head off and gave it to you like a motherfucking birthday present!"

Out of nowhere Batman pulls out the box and throws it at Superman, causing it to break as whatever remains of Joker spills out on him and a bit on the others, but mostly on the floor, as Superman looks at the monster he considered a friend with disgust. Batman slicks his hair back to make it not look so crazed as he fixes his posture and discards his entire bat suit, revealing a very normal t-shirt, tracksuit pants, and black socks. "If you're wondering what this is, don't worry about it; it's something you thankless fucks will never have to worry about again. And you know I really did like the ten years we spent together; it's just... if Supes here didn't go all crazy and you all believed him about what I did then, I could have killed the big lug, and we'd all be fine. But NO! Now I have to find a brand new home and kill myself all over again because of you fucks."

Bruce walks over to the main console and grabs something from inside that Flash's cosmic treadmill was connected to, and just as Bruce opened it up, did Superman break free and Flash rush at him. But these two idiots didn't heed his words as Superman thought he could take something that was created to kill everyone, including him, based off Joker's laughing gas, Scarecrow's fear toxin, and Poison Ivy's love ****.

But it wasn't just theirs; no, it was the most powerful, toxic, and dangerous versions of their little **** that this killer Batman has found over his apparent lifetimes, from the sounds of it, and the last things Superman and Barry's family were ever going to feel is a millennia of pure hell, even if it was just five seconds for everyone around.

What happened to Berry, you may ask? Well, his legs were immediately cut off as his cosmic treadmill was nothing more than a booby trap made in such a way that Batman didn't even have to watch him, as if he did try anything, he'd immediately no longer become a problem as he watched helplessly as his family was gassed by Batman shooting them point-blank in all their faces.

"I told you what would happen. I mean, it was a good try and all, but as the saying goes, Fool me once, shame on me; fool me twice, and then I'll fucking gut you for having the audacity to try!" Bruce grabs his little box and tosses it in the air before squeezing it tightly, and as he seems to be seconds from opening it, he walks over to Barry and steps on his back before kicking it over and over and over again until all the rage in him seems to be gone along with Barry's life.

"In your next lives, I hope you all can have the common!" Batman said the last part as he stomped into Barry's back hard enough that his boot went straight through it and out his chest, hitting the floor. "Have the decency to not ostracize others because of your pathetic biases!" Batman pops open his device just as the Boom Tube opens, only for everyone who was to go through it to get turned into cut-meat papers.

Just as everyone could hear the wet slops and cuts happening in a not far enough room, the alarms began blaring as the Lanterns and anyone who was with them got ready to attack or already began attacking the Watch Tower. However, they severely underestimated this Batman's blood drive, as did everyone else. Because the Watch Towers out-mated the defense lasers, rockets, saws, drones, and many other things they couldn't see or figure out.

What none of them realized, however, was that the self-destruct sequence had been activated the very second Batman had started his plans to reset this world and was about ten minutes away from blowing everything in this galaxy and bit from the others to nothingness almost as if they were getting erased from reality itself.

"Well, it's time I get going. I had fun, and it was a good ten years, but I just hope in your next lives that Superman doesn't fuck it all up like he did this time!" Everyone began screaming for dear life, but the second Batman pressed the button, everything went quiet as Batman saw a pure white nothingness he was ever so familiar with envelop him before slowly making way for buildings, cars, and an entire city.

"Where the heck am I now?"
