American Comics: What Evil Plans Could Batman Conceive?

Chen Tao never expected that, not only would he time-travel, but he would actually become Batman himself. As everyone knows, Batman is supremely intelligent, wise beyond measure, and a master of combat, but—what does all this have to do with me, a traveler from another world? Oh! No problem, I can inherit Batman's powers and memories...?!? But, why are they all parallel-universe versions?

Metropolis, the Justice League lay defeated before Darkseid, the Dark Lord.

[Warning! Detected 'Superman's Shattered Cape', 'Wonder Woman's Worn Shield', 'Green Lantern's Damaged Ring'...]

Chen Tao stared up at the sky: "Must I, a great Batman, again survive by scavenging the corpses of teammates?"

Next moment, he moved with practiced ease, picking up the things around him, and then...

[Now possessing Wonder Woman's... 'Merciless Iron Fist' loaded!]

[Now possessing Green Lantern's... 'Dawn Lantern' loaded!]

Bat Mage, Heart Hunter Bat, Bat Tyrant Dragon, Dark Father, Red Death, The Ravager, Drowned Wraith, Bat Nisto...

As Chen Tao's number of Batman parallel-universe versions grows, the Justice League likewise whispers a rumor:

"They say Batman won't act until every teammate is down."
