It was a rainy night in Gotham, and just like any other night, criminals were wandering the streets robbing innocent civilians, robbing stores, or planning something bigger. But the criminals can never get a break because of the Batman no matter how high and mighty you were, the Bat was always gonna take you down, this is a fact many criminals in Gotham were aware of, and they want the situation to change. There were many attempts on the life of the Bat, some were complete failures while some came very close to killing the Batman.
There was one man in Gotham that kept plotting the death of the Batman, that man was Dr. Hugo Strange. He analyzed all of the previous attempts on the life of the Batman, to see what went wrong and if those mistakes could easily be fixed. One day he came to the conclusion that it may be impossible to kill the Batman...In this world. Hugo Strange started exploring different dimensions and universes through a machine he built a long time ago, this machine was the key to the Batman's demise. One day, he came across a particularly interesting dimension to say the least, a dimension where 80% of the population possessed some sort of supernatural power, some godlike while some plain useless.
The doctor remembered his collaboration with Reverse-Flash, where the villain offered him the ability to look into and transport himself to different dimensions and universes, of course, the doctor instantly accepted this offer and so the machine to go through different dimensions came to be. He transported himself to take a closer look at this universe filled with heroes with different abilities, he managed to learn many things about these powers called "Quirks" in this universe, the doctor then came up with the perfect plan to kill the Batman, if he could get DNA samples of the individuals with quirks he could harness them, and potentially create a drug that could give anyone these powers from who their DNA was sampled from
Of course, the doctor could not do this alone, he had to get some allies to go through with this plan, and he knew just the right kind of people for this job, these individuals would be more than interested to join in with the doctor in this plan. Strange got back to Gotham City and started contacting the most dangerous and infamous villains in Gotham, to invite them to a secret meeting where they would discuss this new operation to kill the Batman and take over Gotham City. The villains were indeed interested in this new plan, and the major villains of Gotham eventually made their way to this secret meeting with Doctor Strange.
But unfortunately for the doctor, another visitor was hot on the trail of these villains, the Batman. Batman had spotted the car of the Penguin going through the city on one of his patrols, knowing the Penguin, Batman instantly put a tracker on his car and followed the car of the Penguin to an old abandoned furniture factory that was on the outside of the city. The major villains eventually showed up to the meeting, as Strange greeted them all and told them to take a seat, some villains were not happy with the presence of other ones since a number of them had some sort of rivalry between them.
Two-Face looked over at the Doctor as Harvey sat on his chair "This better be good Strange, you should be smart enough to know that wasting our time is a huge mistake" Two-Face said as he flipped the coin in his hand, along this Bane gave a slight nod "Calling us all here, even among the tensions between us for something useless is not a good idea Doctor" Bane replied with his hands crossed, the Villains already began to question what this huge meeting is about.
"Gentlemen, please" Hugo Strange says to them from the front of the table "I am aware that some of you were quite busy at this time, but I can assure you that the reason I called you here for is not in vain." Strange says as he sat up from his chair.
"I have recently constructed a machine with the help of my dear friend Reverse-Flash, that enables anyone to go through different dimensions and universes-" Hugo Strange was then rudely interrupted by Bane who slammed his fist on the table, but not too hard to break it, only to leave some cracks "Get to the point..." Bane said impatiently. Hugo just smiled back a bit "Very Well..." Strange said as he then turned around to face the villains "I have encountered a universe where 80% of the population has some sort of supernatural ability, superpowers to be exact. It is full of heroes, but the best thing is, these powers came with them naturally when they were born, all I would need is a DNA sample from them to then recreate their powers into a drug, that can give any person that exact same power" Strange explained to the villains
"So what you are saying is, if you could get enough of those DNA samples you could give them to anyone, and even typical thugs to cause even more chaos in the city" Riddler said as he had this arms slightly crossed, to which Strange gave a slight nod "Correct Mr. Nigma" Strange said as then the Riddler chuckled a bit "And here I thought you were an intellectual Strange. You do realize that the world is filled with Superheroes with amazing powers, what makes you think they are unable to take us down?" The Riddler said to Strange, challenging his testimony. "And you are correct Mr. Nigma, but do take in mind that these heroes are not familiar with our way of operation here in Gotham, they take on villains toe to toe with the villains almost never using their mind to outsmart them, a key feature we have. These heroes can easily be fooled by a mere child, so it should not be a problem for the majority of you" Hugo Strange replies to the question Nigma asked
"My point being dear gentlemen, is that we go to this new universe and establish a base of operation there, from which we can tear down the city from the inside, with the key being that the heroes will underestimate us for being powerless, which would be their downfall. After we acquire enough DNA samples and establish the drug for each of the powers we collected, nothing could stop us from creating an army of powerful henchmen that even Batman cannot stop, with that sort of power we could destroy Gotham, and its ashes will be raining on the Dark Knight, who will finally be ridden of" Hugo Strange finishes his explanation as all the villains began discussing it with the others "Of course, you will all have the ability to enter and exit the universe as you please, I will make sure of that, so our base of operation in Gotham is not disturbed"
Hugo Strange says once again to the villains
This operation sounds good enough to work for the villains, not to mention the fact that they can toy and kill these so-called heroes in the city with ease, with their abilities at hand. The villains agreed to go through with this operation and the transportation to this universe was scheduled for tomorrow night at midnight, same location. Batman was listening to all of this using his sequencer, he instantly started going back to the Batcave to plan his next move on this infamous plan all of the villains in Gotham have agreed to, the key was that machine Strange mentioned, it needed to be destroyed. Hugo Strange on the other hand was totally expecting Batman to tune in on their little dicussion, planning to set up a trap to transport him with them to this universe, vigilantes are seen as infamous in that universe, and you need a license to be a hero, so the Batman would have an extremely hard time tracking them down while being hunted by the other heroes and police force, taking down two birds with one stone.
The night of transportation came around as the villains met up at the same place just like last night, some of them hated each other, but this was something where they needed to work together, the Batman is a much more serious threat than other villains in Gotham. Hugo Strange told everyone to stand into the machine, which was a teleporter, one by one. And one by one the villains went in, getting transported to this bizzaro world of heroes, but before they went in Strange gave them some kind of remote control, with which they can transport themselves back to Gotham whenever they pleased, but there is always a cooldown of 24 hours before they could get back.
At the end only Strange was left behind as the last one to cross in was Mr. Freeze. Strange turned around to stare into the darkness "I know you are there Batman, and I will make sure you will enjoy every last moment in that universe" Strange says as he pushed a button on the main control panel for the machine, to which Batman instantly reacted and threw a Batarang at the panel after Strange pressed the button, from which then Damian dropped down on top of Hugo Strange, making him fall to the floor "And stay down!" Damian say angrily as Batman also dropped down, picking up Strange by the neck "Shut this machine down!" He ordered as Strange began laughing.
The machine had another way of transporting people to the dimension, through a light beam which radius can be customized "You are too late Batman, that universe will be your demise" Strange said as the Machine then emmited the large light beam across the factory, teleporting all three of them to the universe. Batman and Robin landed on top of a tower in Musutafu "Dammit..." Batman says to himself as he looked up, seeing the city with the UA High School not being far from them "Father, how are we going to get back?" Damian says as he looked over at his father who kept his eyes on the city. "Strange mentioned that the villains had a remote control that could enable them to get back to Gotham, we need to acquire one of those, and then stop Strange and his plan of getting DNA Samples of the heroes in this universe" Batman replies as the rain was going down his cape.
Strange had arrived in the city not too far from the rest of the villains, as he let out a slight chuckle, he had already bought some properties in the city, a good start for his plan. "The plan worked gentlemen, the Batman is here and will eventually be subjugated by the police of the city and the other heroes. Let us now continue establishing our base of operation here, the downfall of the Dark Knight and Gotham has now begun" Hugo Strange says through the com system to the other villains, with a slight smile on his face.
