On Earth -1, the story of Batman progresses, as usual, joining the Justice League and fighting for the safety of Earth from threats. On this Earth though, Superman starts using his power (not sure why) to kill those who stand in the way of the Justice League's mission. He even ends killing Lois (dark!), and Batman seeks to stop him. Superman manages to blow off Batman's kryptonite spear-wielding arm, resulting in Batman using is the dreaded backup plan: The Doomsday virus. Upon ingesting it, he regrows his arm and mutates into a monstrous Doomsday-like creature. As the Devastator, he manages to become the psychopathic monster required to kill Superman, but the virus actually spreads to the rest of the world, killing off humanity rapidly. It's at this time the Batman Who Laughs comes to Earth - 1 to induct him into the Dark Knights.
This figure is BIG and really heavy! He looks great though, with very decent articulation given his size and bulk. I appreciate the articulated jaw and the sheer monstrousness of his spikes and skin texture. He's a cool addition to the Dark Knights and I can't wait to get my hands on the Drowned for a completed group picture!
