Bruce Wayne, also known as the Batman, slid down the beam with all the grace of a hunting panther as he came to a dead stop just shy of meeting his end at the edge of a building with the name Wayne Tech. His family's name glowed menacingly down on the city of Metropolis as he turned to face his pursuers. Members of the Justice League. A team built by a woman called Amanda Waller to apprehend the Owlman and his Talons. Batman and his Robins had no part in this world as it turned out. Sans his cape and cowl Bruce had quickly come to realize that he was the enemy of this world.

"Stand down." Superman ordered, coming up from the left side of the building while Wonder Woman and two other leaguers approached from the right and front of the same building. Bruce edged his foot slightly as he took stock of his current situation. The entire incident with the future Batman flashed in his mind and he wondered if this was how the boy had felt. Owlman and his Talons were currently occupied elsewhere in Gotham. In fact, he damn well knew they were as he'd lured the villain and his henchmen there with rumors of someone acting in the shadows. A ploy he invented in combination of what the Red Hood might have accomplished and what he himself had already done. "Wayne, you will lose this fight."

'I guess no one ever told them,' he thought,

"I never lose." he growled, dropping off the edge of the building and firing a grapple line to the second tallest building across the street. The Justice League was in swift pursuit as Bruce landed, fishing a piece of Kryptonite from his coat and slipping the ring made design onto his left hand as he raced towards where Owlman would have secreted equipment. It had been one of three areas he'd managed to steal away for his own purposes.
