Evil wins as Darkseid's forces conquer the Earth, succeeding in "killing" Batman, until Superman leads a revolt to stop the tyrant. By the end of the series, it is revealed that Bruce Wayne is mere ... ly displaced in time; he eventually finds his way home in 2010, while Dick Grayson, as Batman, protects Gotham City. Always an optimist and one to make light of nearly any situation, when Dick stepped into the role of Batman, he made quite the contrast to Damian Wayne, a brooding and troubled young Robin.
