What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 938 Quiet down, Dr. Manhattan is thinking.

Quiet down, Dr. Manhattan is thinking.

Outside the extremely chaotic hypertime stream, Dr. Manhattan, with his large, blue, bald head, sat cross-legged in the void, surrounded by the flickering shadows of countless fragments of history.

It includes both the history of the Anti-Monitor being defeated by the two Earth Elders, Superman, during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, and the history of the Anti-Monitor successfully surviving the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths after he altered the events.
Among them are the history of Superman the Supreme successfully killing the Anti-Monitor at the end of the Sinestro Legion War, and the history of the Anti-Monitor successfully escaping;
The history of Batman Dragon creating Earth-15 and the history of Batman Dragon erasing Earth-15 coexist; the history of Perpetua successfully suppressing the three brothers and completing his rule over the entire DC multiverse also exists; the history of Perpetua failing to suppress the three brothers and then being suppressed back to the Origin Wall by them also exists.

Numerous diametrically opposed results and contradictory realities simultaneously appeared in the reality of the hyper-timestream, and in just a short time, the current reality of the hyper-timestream had already fallen apart.

World Builder, Anti-Monitor, Monitor, Perpetua, Batman's Dragon, Batman's Dragon in different timelines, and even Mind Control, representing the DC multiverse monitoring program, also known as the Mind Robot...

Their powers clash head-on in different times and spaces, twisting and manipulating each other to create an incredibly deafening symphony.

The reality of the DC multiverse has never been so fragmented. When one line split into two or three, the self-repairing ability of the hypertime stream could still make adjustments. For example, the timeline of the arrival of the UK and the timeline of the future doomsday are strictly speaking the timelines of the main universe, but they were eventually brought into the normal timeline of the main universe, becoming a detour. They exist, but do not affect the normal operation of the main universe.

But now things are not like that at all.

Whether it's the arrival of the UK or a post-apocalyptic future, it's at most just a normal split in the main universe's timeline—due to the inevitable nature of crises in the DC multiverse, some crises may inadvertently create erroneous split timelines in the main universe, which is an unexpected event within acceptable limits.

But the current situation has completely turned into a multi-person conflict caused by Papetua's deliberate tearing apart of the trans-timeline reality.

Three sixth-dimensional beings, along with Perpetua, each tore apart a portion of reality, creating a future favorable to themselves. Batman's Dragon returned to the upstream of the timeline, directly negating the legitimacy of both groups' control over reality by altering the outcome of Earth-15. However, because the realities controlled by both groups had already achieved a certain degree of solidification, these realities did not vanish. Therefore, the most troublesome and absurd situation now exists in the DC multiverse:
Batman: Dragon destroys Earth 15, creating a new reality of his own.

Three sixth-dimensional deities joined forces to seal away the reality of Papetua;
The reality of Papetua ruling over the entire DC multiverse;
Three realities coexist in the DC multiverse, not to mention the other chaotic realities created by Perpetua and the three sixth-dimensional deities:

For example, the numerous unorthodox timelines created by Batman: Dragon.
For example, the timelines in which the first Genie of the Night once experienced various strange characters ruling the DC multiverse, the timelines in which the first Genie of the Night failed thousands of times, or the infinite loop timeline in which Batman, Dragon and the nameless old dragon were trapped.

Oh, right, also, the prerequisite for breaking that infinite time loop is that Batman Dragon escapes, and the prerequisite for Batman Dragon to escape is that he must remind his past self after escaping and personally direct his own escape drama—otherwise, the escape cannot be established!
Batman Dragon has indeed escaped, but instead of reminding his past self or directing his own escape after escaping the time loop, he went straight back to Earth-15 and erased the Earth-15 event. However, if the Earth-15 event is gone, the infinite time loop won't occur. But if the infinite time loop doesn't occur, Batman Dragon won't make the desperate decision to erase Earth-15...

Dr. Manhattan was able to see clearly how much Batman Dragon had resisted changing Earth 15 before the events.

Paradoxes arise again, all sorts of terrifying paradoxes intertwined, like a tangled mess, making one's scalp tingle.

Even though Dr. Manhattan is a god in the quantum realm, capable of easily seeing through all of history—past and future coexisting in every corner—this incredibly chaotic reality still troubles him. He only wants to observe the truth about how the DC multiverse operates based on Superman, but where is Superman's mother right now?
Superman... Superman is being treated like a dog across a dozen or so chaotic timelines.

That's right. Although there are hundreds of timelines, the Supermen in those timelines are still all Supermen from the main universe. These random Supermen are similar to... uh, the time-residual clones created by The Flash?

Imagine your past self traveling back to a few minutes earlier, and then helping fight before time and space are erased.

But for Superman, these timelines are real, and these Supermen will not be erased, not for the time being.

Dr. Manhattan had begun to ponder. The current state of the DC multiverse was definitely not normal, which was detrimental to his observation plans. He hadn't seen anything he couldn't understand, and the day hadn't yet come when it would collide head-on with the DC multiverse.

However, the DC multiverse suddenly went into chaos, and due to the Earth-15 crisis triggered by Batman: Dragon, things have spiraled out of control.

The most chaotic period in the DC multiverse since its inception was before the Crisis on Infinite Earths. During that time, there was even a character (referring to Hawkman) who possessed 17 origins simultaneously. A large amount of history and reality contradicted each other, yet coexisted.

The current situation is almost identical to that before the Crisis on Infinite Earths, with a large number of completely opposite realities existing simultaneously.

Dr. Manhattan was pondering what he should do in this situation.

"Cosmic reboot".

Then he heard the voice of Batman Dragon, mixed with the strange noises of the mind robots.

He turned his head and saw Batman Dragon perched on the back of the Mind Robot. Only the Mind Robot, the embodiment of the rules that restore order in the DC multiverse, could find Doctor Manhattan, and Doctor Manhattan clearly had no intention of hiding.

"Reboot the entire universe."

"I've already decided, this brand new era will be called 5G!"
