The next morning when Batman woke up, he hears Sinestro planning an attack on Earth with Bailok, Nathaniel, and Dawn. Sinestro said, "We can just tell him a crazed Guardian did it." Batman clenched his fist in anger and said, "He lied. But Hal was counting on that." Batman's ring began to glow as he started his rehearsed transformation. He used his ring to make his ears costume ears longer and pointier. He gave his teeth a scary sharp sheen. Then he made it so his eyes glowed a bright yellow. Also, he made the toes of his boots very sharp. He looked at his reflection in the window. He looked like a large elf/bat who had a killing streak. "Perfect," Batman thought with an unsettling evil thought voice. He then walked to the room that Sinestro was in.
When Dawn looked up at Batman, a excited shiver went down her spine. She loved the new look Batman gave himself. Bailok and Nathaniel looked astonished at how…evil he looked. Sinestro thought, "So the change took place overnight." Batman walked through the team and plunged his ring into the Lantern, charging up. He looked at Sinestro and took a deep breath. He said, "Let's go take over Earth."
