 Eventually, Barbatos is released onto the DC universe when Batman is treated with five unique metals, turning him into a portal to the Dark Multiverse, with this portal also allowing Barbatos to summon an army of evil alternate Batmen known as the Dark Knights, led by a God-like Batman, who describe themselves as having been created based on Batman's dark imaginations of what he could do if he possessed the powers of his colleagues.These depictions are set outside of the 52 canonical universes in the DC continuity.Batman and the Justice League make a cameo in the tie-in comic "Teen Titans Go" #45.
