| On Earth -44, Bruce was the Batman of Gotham City. One day, Bane led a group of his enemies to the Batcave in the attempt to find Batman, where they ambushed and killed Alfred. After the death of his surrogate father, Bruce asked Cyborg for help. Years ago, he had copied Alfred's mind into a program, but couldn't create a full A.I. out of it. Cyborg helped him, but the Alfred Protocol mutated into a virus, who killed all of Batman's rogues, with Bane being the last. Let into the Batcave in an attempt to shut it down by reasoning with it, Bruce was instead overcome as soon as he gave permission to enter. The A.I. fused with Bruce, taking away his fear, his suffering, and his humanity and gave him cybernetic enhancements. Christened The Murder Machine by Cyborg, Batman then proceeded to kill the Justice League of Earth -44. |
| Because his world was part of something known as the Dark Multiverse, it was inherently unstable and after he had defeated the Justice League, the Murder Machine couldn't prevent its destruction. He was then contacted by the Batman Who Laughs, who taught him about the destiny of the worlds in the Dark Multiverse, and of a world which could endure. The Dark Knights then made the jump to Earth 0. |
