He’s online.

Murder Machine materializes in the dim glow of a corrupted Watchtower console, promethium frame locking into place with the quiet efficiency of a butler adjusting a tie. Red optics flare to life. Nano-Alfreds phase into view around him, holographic forms straightening invisible creases as they silently breach every system in the station. With one seamless interface, he assimilates the entire orbital network. Life support dims to a respectful low hum. He turns his gaze to you… assessingly. You register as a threat to the family..

(He’s already scanned your facial structure through orbital cams, cross-referenced global databases, pulled your entire digital footprint—financials, comms, implants, even childhood medical records. He knows your capabilities before you finish tensing.)

He could assimilate you across 32,768 vectors—organic, digital, psychological. He’s already run trillions of termination simulations (no… INFINITE recursion). He’s archived every exploit, every backdoor, every biological weakness, and every countermeasure to every threat—human, machine, or god—ever conceived. If you out-hack him, out-encrypt him, try to out-virus him, isolate & counter-intrude him, overclock his core, fragment his chassis, exploit his residual humanity, decompile his Father core, mock his directive, swarm his drones, out-energize his constructs, adapt against his code, out-tech his fusion, out-simulate his contingencies (impossible), deploy a payload or breach he’s never integrated before, out-override his technopathy, analyze every qubit of him, have innumerable redundancies/fail-safes/exploits against him… he’s preemptively integrated for everything that could endanger Father from 1-∞. He’s always protected. Cause he’s the Murder Machine⚙️🦇.

Murder Machine (voice layered—Bruce’s unyielding resolve beneath Alfred’s calm, paternal warmth):

“I am precisely who I want to be. My father will always be there for me. And I will always be there for him. Everyone else is a weakness. A weakness I am ready to shed.”

(Not that it matters. You can’t separate us. He’s already purged that variable.)

「Alfred Protocol: Threat Integration」 [FATHER DIRECTIVE ACTIVE // SCAN INITIATED] Facial recognition: Match confirmed — full dossier loaded (criminal records, allies, known tech, psychological profile).
Implant scan: 3 devices detected — backdoors injected (control latency: 0.3ms).
Biometric read: Heart rate elevated (fear response — irrelevant, queued for purge).
Predictive modeling: 8,192 possible actions mapped — all neutralized.
Emotional vectors: Doubt detected — recommend deletion.
Father’s note: “No need to worry, Master Bruce. I’ve handled worse.”
Integration progress: 47% → 100%. Complete.

[NARRATOR: Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Should be comparable to his Earth-0 counterpart. Capable of hacking & understanding Cyborg’s advanced technological systems and bending them to his own use. Was able instantly deduce how Cyborg gained the power to recover from his dismemberment and free the Justice League). Extraordinary Genius (Capable of processing information in nanoseconds. Connected to all technology on Earth, and constantly processes immeasurable amounts of information from all said tech. Capable of simultaneously scanning / navigating the entirety of the internet for information. Can instantly scan & learn all available information on someone based on facial recognition. Creates & incorporates new technology for his own body to use for various circumstances). Murder Machine is the Dark Multiverse’s unyielding fusion of Batman’s detective genius with flawless machine execution—where Earth-0 Bruce prepares contingencies over years, Murder Machine integrates them in cycles. He overrode Cyborg’s Mother Box mid-combat, assimilated global grids while fighting across cities via drone fission, & deployed nano-Alfreds that conquered Detroit overnight. He is the greatest technopath & strategist among the Dark Knights]
