Bruce Wayne, the Batman in the main universe, wants to make the Batman Who Laughs go through countless trials and tribulations to completely confirm that he is harmless before letting him join the Justice League. Then, he wants to use his X-metal body to quickly build up a fighting force that can rival Batman Dragon.
But there was no time left.
The reason why Doctor Manhattan has not invaded from the downstream of the timeline to the present is entirely because Perpetua and Batman Dragon have become barriers in his way. At the same time, Doctor Manhattan's threat has always prevented Perpetua or Batman Dragon from focusing on threatening the Justice League and the existence of the world.
This is a relationship of checks and balances, achieving a strange equilibrium amidst constantly shifting conflicts. Unfortunately, this equilibrium cannot last forever. Although much has been deliberately forgotten, the Batman of the main universe still vividly remembers one thing—
Chen Tao, the creator of Batman, once told him personally that he had a way to defeat and fight against Dr. Manhattan.
The main universe's Batman doesn't know what this method is, but he can still predict that Batman's Dragon probably won't be as helpless against Doctor Manhattan as Perpetual.
Imagine this: an evil being with the power of the Laughing God, possessing the combined power of Perpetua, the Void Hand, and Doctor Manhattan, a terrifying demon king who intimidates the entire world, is about to descend upon the mortal realm as a god. This would be an unprecedented collapse in the DC multiverse, and the only one who can stop him is Batman Dragon himself.
So we need the Batman Who Laughs. Even if it means risking his potential betrayal and the collapse of everything, we must trust him and believe in what Batman Dragon has done for the Batman Who Laughs. It's ironic that Batman's most precious trust is now resting on the Batman Who Laughs.
The main universe's Batman has a pre-planned scheme to use the Batman Who Laughs and his X-Metal body to end Batman Dragon, and this plan is listed as the final option.
This is the only plan that can be attempted even if Batman's Dragon devours Doctor Manhattan.
But now he wants to hear the Batman Who Laughs's plans.
"So your plan is..."
He asked.
"My body, constructed from X-metal elements, is in fact a truth machine capable of absorbing crisis energy and anti-crisis energy at will."
The Bat Who Laughs said, "And the multiverse has been pushed to its limit, and the multiverse's support is in place."
The main universe Batman waited, a vague suspicion and expectation in his heart: if the Batman Who Laughs revealed the plan that Batman Dragon had once told him, then it would prove that Batman Dragon's control over the Batman Who Laughs was already—
"Then I will push Batman Dragon to the end of the timeline, into the death of all things."
"—Is that all?"
"right."
Well, the Batman Who Laughs didn't reveal the plan, but that doesn't prove that Batman Dragon and his plan didn't work.
The bat in the main universe was thinking this.
Regardless of the final outcome —
A plan is a plan.
At 1:15 PM on August 20, 1959, I—no, Dr. Manhattan—entered the intrinsic field experimental chamber, hoping to transpose time…
Space and the entire universe must be pulled back to their original trajectory; this is necessary and indispensable.
At that moment, I became afraid and dared not open my eyes, afraid of making a mistake or missing something.
1992年8月23日下午1：15，曼哈顿博士离开守望者宇宙7年后，来自DC多元宇宙的黑暗骑士团来到本徵场实验舱遗址，在他们的身后是每一个被复原的实验人员。
Dead and alive.
There are.
Some were reduced to skeletons, the killing machines supported by metal, forcing them to stand there.
I am Dr. Manhattan.
I am Batman Dragon.
I am the Bat of Laughter.
-
I saw my own funeral.
Wherever my tombstone is, I am now running towards it at breakneck speed.
I watched an empty box being buried.
An empty box, nothing inside, but inside is me, inside are all my life choices, all of which have vanished like bubbles.
Doctor Manhattan, Batman: The Dragon, The Bat Who Laughs.
What's the difference?
I have no identity left. The tombstone reads:
Jonathan Osterman.
生于1929年5月5日，死于1959年8月30日。
They are all dead, vanished like bubbles.
As I traced back the timeline, everything seemed to have returned to its predetermined course.
I have accomplished what I have done.
Next, I will be leaving the Watchmen universe and heading to the DC multiverse.
This will be my farewell to the Watchers universe —
wrong.
That's not entirely true; there are still places where it occurs.
wrong.
"You're actually trying to shake the rules of the Watchmen universe."
Dr. Manhattan turned his head and looked at the equally blue Batman dragon not far away.
"You're trying to graft the timeline of the DC multiverse into the Watchmen universe as well. But that won't work."
"Yes, it won't work."
Then he heard Batman Dragon say, "But similarly, your attempt to change history will not succeed."
"I did not change history," Dr. Manhattan said. "What are you talking about?"
Their confrontation had reached its peak, with countless quantum energies entangled in infinite dimensions, infinite parallel worlds, and infinite world cores, disintegrating and annihilating in a way that surpassed the limits of human imagination, only to be reborn in an instant.
At the height of the battle, Dr. Manhattan heard the voice of Batman Dragon: "November 22, or maybe 23, 1992. These streets are packed with bodies, and everyone's mind is boiling with the absurd nightmares brought by fictitious invaders."
The clock starts again. We had a chance, but they carelessly abandoned us. All of them—"
Dr. Manhattan knew what Batman Dragon was talking about; it was the riots caused by the leak of the secret of the massacre of millions of people after he left the Watchmen universe.
"—God turned around and left us a paradise, just like handing a five-year-old a folding razor. We cut open the world's belly, and secrets poured out. A gut full of truth and dog shit strangled us. Soon the world will only be filled with bedbugs, cockroaches, and maggots waging a fierce battle for the decaying remains of ordinary people."
"Unless we can win back God, smash things, scream, because perhaps we are not worthy of him—"
Perhaps this world is nearing its end.
He heard Batman read it aloud indifferently, bit by bit, and then he heard him say, "The above is an excerpt from Chapter 1 of 'The Last Bell'."
