Supreme Superboy Descends into the Flashpoint Timeline, I'm F***ing Not Superman?

Dumb Owl had no idea exactly how powerful Barbatos had to be to fuel the Cosmic Tuning Fork.

But at least under the interference of Perpetua and the Empty Hand, he could be certain that Barbatos truly couldn't do it.

However, this "couldn't" was based on the premise that Barbatos would emerge unscathed after supplying the energy.

According to Dumb Owl's original plan, Why the hell should I care whether Barbatos lives or dies? If there wasn't enough energy, he could just hang Barbatos on the Cosmic Tuning Fork as a weather doll.

Energy was like water in a sponge. If you squeezed hard enough, there would always be some.

As for whether Barbatos would be half-dead or dead on the spot after being squeezed dry, that had nothing to do with Dumb Owl.

Besides, completely draining Barbatos had another benefit:

Perpetua and the Empty Hand wanted to control Barbatos for no other reason than to make use of his immense power.

One of them was stuck to the Source Wall, while the other was blocked outside the universe. Only with Barbatos could they truly influence the inside of the DC Multiverse directly.

So his original plan had been to operate the Tuning Fork, persuade Supreme Superboy, and then take him to beat up Barbatos. But now Batman had stolen half of the Cosmic Tuning Fork's authority, forcing Barbatos's plan to die in the womb.

He had no choice but to voice his support for Batman's plan. Otherwise, if Batman stubbornly blocked him by controlling the Cosmic Tuning Fork, the core objective of his plan would be affected.

Without the Cosmic Tuning Fork, there was no plan to deceive Supreme Superboy. How else could he bring N Superman back through the essence of his nature?

And so, the question arose.
