In the world of Olympus, Russell sneaked out of the King of Gods' bedchamber. To keep busybodies from spreading gossip, he concealed his movements with utmost care.
For Russell, who wielded the authority of the Creation God, there was no need to go through such trouble. With a single thought, he could have walked openly out of the King of Gods' bedchamber without anyone noticing. He did it because he had an idea—he wanted certain people to know.
For instance, Artemis. Or Hecate...
Ordinary people did not dare spread gossip about the Creation God and the King of Gods. It would take a long time to ferment, and seeing that it was still early, Russell left the current world and entered the DC world.
They said Superman was DC's beloved son, while Batman was its beloved father, which made Batman Superman's grandfather.

The place where Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne were shot, and the starting point of the Dark Knight Batman's destiny.
It was not a particularly friendly beginning, brimming with DC-style darkness, as if Batman were destined to walk a dark path to the very end.

After that, Russell stopped meddling and allowed the timeline to proceed along its normal course.
After several timeline reboots, someone noticed him. It was an old acquaintance: Lucifer, the "Satan"
