On his own, the Batman Who Laughs is still an incredible force of evil, but without his team of Dark Knights things maybe wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

As the worlds of the Dark Multiverse met their end, various corrupted Bats were recruited and saved by the Batman Who Laughs. These were the worst of the worst, all versions of batman that had long abandoned any sense of morality, rebelled against the Justice League and dealt their own version of justice.

Each of them has a different skill set including a speedster, a member of the Green Lantern Corps, a Bat/Cyborg hybrid, and even a Bat with the power of Doomsday.

The Drowned, The Dawnbreaker, The Merciless, The Devastator, The Murder Machine and The Red Death then descended on Prime Earth, destroying the cities that gave home to the Justice League members. Though the heroes would be saved, as Doctor Fate managed to pull them out of harm's way at the final moment, thus creating the Resistance.

The Batman Who Laugh's Dark Knights team has grown immeasurably as his reign goes on. We now have Bathomet, a Bat-Mage and even a Batmanasarus Rex. But what is a Bat without his Robin...
