You don't need the whole Justice League to ruin Batman's life. Sometimes, it only takes one team member. Booster Gold is a Justice Leaguer who uses technology from the 25th century to stop crimes. Frustrated from not being taken seriously by the other League members, Booster tries his best to stand out, which usually ends up making things worse.

For example, he hated watching Batman being traumatised by the death of his parents so he went back in time to prevent Bruce Wayne's mother and father from being murdered. Because Bruce never suffered this loss, he never became Batman, which caused the world to fall into disarray.

Tim Drake, who is better-known as Robin the normal universe, became a merciless Batman who killed anyone he believed to be a criminal. Realizing that the world needed Bruce Wayne to become Batman, Booster decided he had to let Bruce’s parents die. Since Bruce had lived happily for decades with his mother and father in this timeline, he did everything in his power to stop Booster from reversing what he did. Although Booster was successful, he couldn't tell Batman of the alternate timeline as he didn't want Bruce to know that he lost his parents all over again.
