Earth-89 is a reality of the Multiverse whose Gotham City is protected by Batman.

History

Pre-Crisis

Some time in the past, the vigilante hero known as Batman captured the supervillain Joker.

During the Crisis, Alexander Knox, a reporter of Gotham Gazette witnessed the skies turning red. After wondering if Batman would intervene, Knox and the rest of Earth-89 were erased from existence by the Anti-Monitor's Antimatter Wave.^[1]

One month later, after The Spectre and the Paragons rebooted the Multiverse, Earth-89 was restored to the existence along with all the other universes.^[2]

Post-Crisis

After the rebirth of the Multiverse, Bruce Wayne witnessed the deaths of his parents, Thomas and Martha Wayne, and became once again the superhero Batman. During his career, Batman faced many villains, including his parents' murderer, Joker/Jack Napier,^[3] and the crime lord, Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot.^[4]
