10 Times Batman Died (And What Happened Next)

4. Wonder Woman Killed Batman By Stabbing Him Through The Chest

Batman Arkham
DC Comics

The story in Superman/Batman #15 features an alternate timeline, where Batman and Superman are dictators, which came about, thanks to the work of Lightning Lord and Saturn Queen. Without going into heroics, things changed somewhat, and Wonder Woman founded a group of freedom fighters who launched an attack on Liberty Island.

This timeline is far darker than most seen in alternate realities in the DC Universe, so when the attack happened, it got bloody and violent really fast. Batman and Superman link up with the fight alongside the Legion of Superheroes on Liberty Island.

Almost immediately, Batman kills Ray by shooting him in the head. While that was going on, Uncle Sam, the Green Lantern of this reality, creates an eagle to keep Superman busy while Wonder Woman took on Batman. As the two fight it out, it looks as if either side might gain the upper hand, but in the end, Diana manages to stab Batman through the chest, killing him instantly.

Superman manages to kill Diana soon after this occurs, but the conflict messed with the timeline in numerous ways, including an apocalyptic event, war with intelligent apes, and all manner of insanity. Eventually, a deal with Darkseid and some luck set the timeline back to normal.
