The Omniverse is formed from multiple multiverses. Not only is the DC multiverse back, but it's officially part of a DC Omniverse. Not one Earth or 52 Earths, but a limitless number of Earths. Moved by this act of selflessness, one of these higher-dimensional beings communicates with Diana and offers to restore the multiverse as it once was. But ever the selfless heroine, Wonder Woman saves the multiverse and its creators, even at the cost of her own world. The Batman Who Laughs wants to destroy the multiverse and the beings who created it, and he tries to bribe Diana with the promise of a single, idyllic world where she and her friends can live in peace. The final issue of Death Metal chronicles a titanic battle between Wonder Woman and the Batman Who Laughs, both of whom have been amplified with godlike powers and cosmic awareness. Rather, it celebrates this vast, complex history and the idea that "it all matters." And that's not even getting into concepts like Hypertime, the Dark Multiverse and the DC Metaverse introduced in Doomsday Clock. What makes Death Metal different from past crossovers like Crisis is that it doesn't seek to streamline or simplify DC cosmology. 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths consolidated everything into one Earth, while subsequent stories established a more limited multiverse of 52 worlds. In the old days, there were an infinite number of alternate worlds featuring their own incarnations of our favorite heroes. The DC multiverse is a complicated and often downright confusing concept.
