All was well in the cosmos until the Titan was murder at the hands of his minion Barbatos, who had become drunk with the euphoria of destruction. Described as a vast ocean of roiling possibility, the Dark Multiverse was where Alpheus brewed all the hopes and fears of Earth-Prime into new worlds that (if worthy) would ascend into the greater Multiverse. Known as the Dragon of the World Forge, Barbatos was tasked eons ago with the burden of dragging unstable worlds (the ones made of pure nightmare fuel) down into the oblivion known as the Dark Multiverse, where they can be re-imagined into fresh new realities by a Titan-like being named Alpheus the World Forger. To fully understand the motives behind the Batman Who Laughs, one needs to first understand Barbatos. After conquering his false Earth, he was visited by an ancient bat-god named Barbatos, who promised to give Batman's nightmare-doppelgänger the ability to spread his power across worlds previously unknown. Within a week he massacred the whole Justice League, going as far as infecting Superman and his son with a unique form of black kryptonite that causes them to murder Lois Lane before succumbing to death themselves. Within three days of becoming infected he gunned down his own family inside the Batcave. On his broken homeworld within the Dark Multiverse, the Batman Who Laughs is born the moment Bruce loses control and snaps Joker's neck.
