Batman's Powerlessness, the Loss of Power Over the Cosmos! It Seems I, the World Forger, Must Step Out

The World Forger repeatedly checked Prime Universe Bat's brain.

After learning his brother Monitor had been toyed with by The Batman Who Laughs, he had developed a very good habit: always making sure that the subjects under his control did not develop any problems.

So, let us see what was going through Prime Universe Bat's mind right now.

Let me see... A lofty desire for sacrifice, and the determination to stop Supreme Superboy from rebooting the universe at all costs.

This was good.

And...

Distrust toward the World Forger's creation. That was perfectly reasonable. Batman never trusted anyone. Although he and Batman had reached an agreement that, after stopping Supreme Superboy from rebooting the universe incorrectly, the World Forger had to use his more perfect Baby Multiverse to repair the entire world until it could pass the Source Judges' inspection.

Yes, repair.

The World Forger considered it repair.

To him, the final step of his plan was to replace the reality of the entire DC Multiverse with the fully developed Baby Multiverse.

It was a like-for-like replacement, except he was replacing a little too much. At its core, this was the Ship of Theseus problem: if a ship kept having its parts replaced, was it still the original ship?

But all of that was still far off. The World Forger's baby universe had not even been successfully born in full yet. At most, it could be considered an embryo.

The World Forger continued reading Prime Universe Bat's thoughts.

Worry about his family and friends...

Useless garbage thoughts. Completely worthless.

The World Forger tossed them aside.

In fact, he was beginning to feel restless. He intended to use mind control to twist Batman's will...

But he did not dare.

Doing so would put himself on the opposite side of Prime Universe
