10 Coolest And Weirdest Alternate Versions Of Batman

2. Flashpoint Batman

Batman Grim Knight
DC Comics

The Flashpoint timeline depicts an alternate series of canonical events leading to a dystopian DC world. In this timeline Bruce Wayne is killed in place of his parents, the trauma of the event driving them both to madness. Martha Wayne becomes the Joker, and Thomas, Batman.

However, he is far less restrained than Bruce’s Batman, and kills criminals in a vengeful war on crime. He kills Joe Chill right away, reaping vengeance with a fatal beating.

After the new Batman initially greets Barry Allen with a hostile reception, Barry explains how he altered the timeline, and the two end up working together to restore his lost speed-force powers, and put the world back to the way it was before.

In this mission they succeed, and the dystopian timeline is negated. In a surprising twist Thomas Wayne later makes his way through a portal, and comes face-to-face with the original Batman. Contrary to what one would expect he is no ally, and for mysterious reasons is working with Bane.
