Earth One, Pre-Crisis
At Arkham Asylum in Gotham City…
"Don't worry, Deegan," John Deegan's cellmate said, "This Batwoman has never faced masterminds like us before. When we get out, Gotham won't know what hit, and the universe will never be the same!"
"Don't call me Deegan anymore, Hayden." John replied, "I've arrived at my Destiny now, and I don't appreciate having my doctorate stripped from me. I'm Dr. Destiny now."
Suddenly, a whirlwind of red and yellow energy disabled on security cameras and took out the guards.
"Funny you should say that," a vibrating figure in a yellow suit said as he stood before them. "I'm here to help you fulfill your destiny."
"You must be Mobius' herald." Hayden said.
"No, Roger Hayden," he said, unmasking and stopping vibrating, "though I might look like him. I am Eobard Thawne, otherwise known on this world as the Reverse Flash. The Anti-Monitor has work for you to do, but not on this earth."
"Take us to our mission." Hayden said, as Thawne grabbed both him and Dr. Destiny and sped through a breach.
They arrived on a dark world, heavily urban environment.
"Where are we?" Hayden asked. "What does the Anti-Monitor require of us?"
"GCPD! Freeze!" the officer drew his gun and flashed his badge. It was Police Commissioner James Gordon. Five other officers were with him.
"I'll handle this," Thawne said, as he disarmed all of the officers and sped off with Hayden and Dr. Destiny.
"What the heck was that, Jim?" a bearded heavyset cop in a fedora asked in astonishment.
"I don't know, Harvey," Jim replied, "But we're gonna find out!"
Meanwhile, at the Gotham Morgue, blue energy radiated throughout the building until it stopped above one particular corpse. She was alive again, there was no keeping her dead. Not in Gotham. She looked up and saw a gaudy looking figure before her…with muttonchops no less.
"Maria Mercedes Mooney," the figure said. "You're not finished yet. The multiverse requires you in the coming Crisis."
"Multiverse? Crisis?" she asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm called the Monitor," he stated, matter-of-factly."
"Well, 'Monitor'," she said, "My name is Fish Mooney, and you woke up the wrong woman."
