Summary[]
In Reality: NF-1935, The IO teamed up with Lex Luthor to manipulate Batman into helping them regain control of the Zero Point after it had been sealed off by The Spire. They open a Sideways Rift in Gotham City and kick Batman into The Loop. After countless loop of battle royale, Batman finally escape the Loop and is able to explore the island, He teams up with a group of escaped Loopers, and then breaks into the IO Hatch. Inside The Bridge he finds the root of the Spire containing The Zero Point. Eternal Voyager jumps into the uncalibrated Zero Point, and is torn to shreds. Batman sees this, and understands they need to calibrate the Zero Point before entering it. Using everyone's individual "dimensional energy," they send everyone home one by one. Deathstroke sabotaged Batman and Catwoman's escape attempt, trapping them on the bridge. With just the two of them, and the equipment destroyed, they did not have enough dimensional energy to return to their reality.
They are forced to travel back into the Loop using the Portal Device they stole from deathstroke to find Harley Quinn, so they can use her added dimensional energy to return. They are successful, and return to their world. While this is happening, Doctor Slone holds a meeting with Lex Luthor, revealing that Slone struck a deal with him to have Batman enter and escape the loop, in exchange for opening a Sideways Rift at the Daily Planet, although this may not be the full extent of their deal.
