Elise thinks she's the happiest child in the world because she has five dads!
Dad No. 1 says he found her in the ruins of Metropolis. He calls her a gift from Rao and promises to protect her forever, never letting anyone hurt her.
Dad No. 2 looks just like Dad No. 1, but always wears white. Her favorite thing is curling up in his arms while he works.
Dad No. 3 loves dressing up like an owl and keeps asking if she wants to rule the world. He says that if other people have something, they should have it too.
Dad No. 4 also likes transforming into a bat monster. He's always worriedly telling her not to listen to Dads No. 1, 2, and 3 when they talk about ruling the world.
Dad No. 5 is a thinner version of Dad No. 4, but he smiles more. Whenever she laughs along with him, he pats her little head and says it's a good thing he didn't turn her into a Robin dog back then.
Huh? You want to know which dad she likes best?
Of course Elise loves Dads No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 best!

Elise is a newly born consciousness of Earth. She drifts aimlessly through the multiverse, randomly finding someone to raise her.
And so she drifted on.
In her second month, she drifted into the Injustice universe.
Injustice Superman shakily lifted the baby from the pit in Metropolis.
"Elise, I won't let anyone hurt you again."
In her third month, she drifted into the Regime universe.
Regime Superman looked impassively at the baby crying in his arms.
"Fine. I suppose I can raise her."
In her fourth month, she drifted into Earth-3.
Owlman, thoroughly unimpressed, tossed the bundle aside.
"She's just a child."
In her fifth month, she drifted into Earth-0.
After a thorough examination, Batman picked up the baby with a grave expression.
"Alfred, how do you take care of a baby who's still drinking milk?"
In her sixth month, she drifted into Earth-22.
The Batman Who Laughs teased the child, laughing uncontrollably.
"Do you want to be Daddy's Robin dog too? HAHAHA!"
The dads who'd willingly taken her in watched Elise grow up with pride. Even the reluctant dads gradually grew fond of her, but Elise grew weaker with each passing day.
Because of the damage they were doing to Earth.
Injustice Superman held his sleeping daughter, who wouldn't wake, and sincerely repented.
"I was wrong! I was really wrong! I hurt you!"
Regime Superman, his face dark with anger, went to find Gray Bat and seek a truce.
"We can negotiate a new policy."
Owlman sighed as he let go of the button for the quantum state bomb.
"I shouldn't have raised a child in the first place."
Batman accelerated his research into time travel, planning to track down those guys who hadn't taken proper care of their kids and make them pay!
As for the Batman Who Laughs... the dads who learned the truth gave him a righteous beatdown!
