"The answer was actually in the newspaper. You only read the front page before, my animal friend."
The gorilla shook the newspaper in his hand and opened it to show Batwoman the contents further inside. Earlier, Batwoman had taken this thing too lightly—or rather, after reading the first edition, Wrath had clouded his judgment.
Most of the time, Batwoman was calm, but seeing another Batwoman turn into a drug-addicted alcoholic junkie and trendy internet celebrity had still shattered his psychological defenses.
Especially since that Batwoman was Damian, and they had all been through the incident with The Batman Who Laughs.
To Batwoman, that codename was the key to maintaining Gotham's order. Once Batwoman was no longer feared, Gotham's sin and chaos would spill out across the world.
It was not that Earth-16 had no villains left. Rather, everyone had become a villain. They pushed to legalize drug trafficking, human trafficking, drunk driving, arms sales, and a whole series of other things, ensuring everyone profited from them. On the surface, they created all sorts of internet celebrities and entertainment to maintain a facade of peace.
This was an even worse situation than Earth-0, because there were no Superheroes left. All that remained was a group of fools who had inherited the costumes but not their parents' spirit of justice.
And that was what enraged Batwoman the most. They had been betrayed—by their own children.
