Drowned Vengeance's Specialty Is Wading (Seriously), and the Joker Won't Let Batman Down

"What? You're planning to surrender to me?"

Parallax Hal could hardly believe his ears. Even with such immense power, he couldn't manipulate people's hearts. A pure-blooded Five-Dimensional Being like Emperor Joker, who had completely absorbed Mister Mxyzptlk's power, was impossible for Parallax Hal to defeat. But stopping him from going to support Batman Dragon was entirely within his abilities.

Hal had to use the 20% of Bat-Mite's power within him to resonate as much as possible upstream with the 29% of that power within Batman Dragon.

Five-Dimensional Beings and their energy possessed the unique property of existing simultaneously at different nodes of the Over-Time Stream. They existed at every point in the Over-Time Stream at once.

What he needed to do now was muddy the waters. The more active the energy of the Fifth Dimension
