• The treatment left Margaret suffering from severe memory loss, even forgetting her own name.
• Ravencroft gives her a new identity, “Cassie DeLisle,” and employs her as a receptionist at Arkham. While Cassie has no memory of her past or trauma, The Magpie remains fully aware of — and tormented by — their shared pain. 

21st

• To cover up Margaret Sorrow’s disappearance, Dr. Ravencroft files a false report claiming she died in custody on July 13th. An empty coffin is buried in Gotham Cemetery, and “Cassie” is made to attend the funeral, believing Sorrow was merely a former colleague, as Ravencroft tells her.

Deaths: 

• The Joker

• The Joker launches his most devastating joke against Gotham yet. The punchline? It's his 50th birthday bash, and he wants to achieve his wish: the death of either himself or Batman. 
• He knows he's not getting any younger and wants to leave a legacy that outlives him.  

• One of the Joker's bombs destroys Maronis' Italian Restaurant. He made it seem like it was a gang-related attack perpetrated by the Falcones, breaking the tentative truce between the two rival factions and reigniting the violent gang war between the two. 

• In a final confrontation with Joker at a Wayne Industries construction site, a broken and exhausted Batman accidentally kills the Clown Prince of Crime, before passing out from his injuries. 

• Receiving Batman's distress signal from Gotham, Superman finds Batman at death's door. He rushes Bruce to the Batcave. 

• With Alfred's help, Superman performs life-saving surgery on Bruce. 

• Meanwhile, the Justice League tidy up the scene. Wishing to preserve Batman's secret, they destroy the construction site. 
• The Joker's body is handed over to the GCPD. 

• After Nightwing ensures the Joker's body is safe to cremate, Gordon and Bullock cremate his corpse. 
• Gordon addresses the GCPD, telling them that the Joker is dead, much to the relief of the force. 

• After a week of bed rest, Batman regains consciousness. 
• Seeking a prognosis, Leslie Thompkins tells Bruce that he won't be able to return to crimefighting. Seeing how terrified he is by this news, she suggests that they can review the matter again in two years.

• However, Bruce finds it really difficult to let go and continues to serve the Bat Family as their tech support. 

• Diana Prince visits Bruce to check in on him.

2034

February

• With the help of the newly formed Secret Society, led by Gorilla Grodd and funded by the Light, Brainiac invades Metropolis, Poseidonis, Motor City, Keystone City, Gotham City and Coast City, encasing the cities in spheres of Coluan harvesting crystals and digitising their populations. 

• Gorilla Grodd leads an invasion force towards Little Bohemia in Metropolis. They are using devolution units and neural arrays to turn citizens into apes under Grodd's - and therefore Brainiac's command.

• Heroes and S.T.A.R. Labs assist in finding a way to stop Grodd and reverse the devolution process.

• The Flash manages to thwart Grodd's invasion and defeat Grodd himself. However, he escapes. 

• When local heroes try and stop Brainiac's invasion forces from harming innocent civilians, they are easily defeated and captured. Brought aboard Brainiac's ship, Brainiac creates advanced clones of the League, replicating their powers - such as artificial Speed Force and synthetic Lantern constructs. 

• Grodd then launches an attack on S.T.A.R. Labs to regain his lost technology, resulting in millions of dollars in damage and multiple casualties in the process.

• Brainiac intends to archive Earth's collective knowledge. 

• During his analysis of Earth and his meta-human captives, he discovers three important secrets hidden on the planet. First is the exact location of the Anti-Life Equation. The second: that the Embodiment of the White Light of Life is buried deep beneath the Earth's crust. The third: Earth is the Nexus of the Omniverse. 

• Calculating a low probability of his archival project failing, Brainiac creates thirteen replicants of himself, calling them his ultimate fail-safe should anything happen to him.

• Brainiac dispatches his Harvesters to raid the Fortress of Solitude.

• Supergirl, Power Girl, Bizarro, Streaky, and a D.E.O. strike team intervene, successfully destroying the invaders before they can get inside.

• A squadron of Brainiac Troopers storms the local cave network surrounding the Bat Cave.

• Bruce Wayne and Oracle mobilise Batwoman and the Birds of Prey to fight off the Troopers. However, they are overrun and taken hostage. Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce and Oracle manage to escape with the help of Red Robin, Nightwing, Spoiler, Red Hood & Gotham Knight. 

• Undeterred by his recent setback in the Arctic, Brainiac seizes control of the Watchtower and Batman Incorporated's Brother Eye Earth-Oa-New Genesis Communication Satellite, infecting it with the OMAC Virus, a nano-technology virus that seeks out all meta-humans, acting as a homing beacon for Harvester ships to abduct and vivisect. He commandeers the satellite, prompting Oracle to shut down the entire network until the threat is eliminated, leaving the League blind. 

• The Justice League rally together to fight Brainiac and free their captured teammates as Brainiac invades Themyscira, though they are outmatched by the sheer number of the Coluan's forces and forced to make a tactical retreat. Many Amazons are slain. Among the dead are the Justice Leaguers Frost (Caitlin Snow) & the Atom (Ray Palmer). 

• Wonder Woman sacrifices herself, remaining behind to fight off Brainiac's Exterminators and preventing him from hurting any more of her sisters. 

• To honour her daughter and Themyscira's fallen champion, Diana's mother Hippolyta dons her old armour and takes up the mantle of Wonder Woman, promising to avenge her. 

March

• Brainiac breaks his pact with the Light and starts attacking and digitising previously agreed "no-go areas": Khandaq, Gorilla City, Oolong Island, Infinity Island, and Santa Prisca. Though they already saw this coming. 

• Deeming him as a threat to their collective goals, The Light names the Coluan invader "Enemy Alpha" and begins deploying agents to undermine and disrupt his operation. Vandal Savage reaches out to Earth's heroes, proposing a temporary truce. Although Black Lightning, the leader of the Justice League, does not trust Savage, he sees it as the only way to prevent further bloodshed. 

• At the behest of the US Government, Amanda Waller scrambles together several Task-Force Iterations to launch coordinated attacks on occupied cities, starting with Metropolis. However, the only team to successfully make it past the crystal sphere is Task-Force X-99, consisting of Rick Flag Jr, Judomaster, Bloodsport, King Shark, Captain Boomerang, Dr Thaumaturge, Count Vertigo, Cupid, Ratcatcher II, Punch and Jewelee, who were sent to the city via the disused Metropolis subway system. Waller had little faith that the team would be able to complete the assignment and was pleasantly surprised that the team could work together competently, given that most of the team had not worked with one another before "joining" TFX. 

• Wishing to have eyes on the ground, Amanda Waller and A.R.G.U.S. follow Task Force X-99 into Metropolis, establishing a temporary command centre in the Hall of Justice II. They are joined by a support crew of deputized Task Force Y recruits, as well as heroes who had agreed to assist ARGUS, including Hiro Okumura (Toyman), Mikron O'Jeneus (Gizmo), Zalika Okojie (Hack), Christopher Smith (Peacemaker), Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy), Harleen Quinzel, (Harley Quinn), and Poison Oak, Ivy and Harley's plant-human child. 

• Waller also enlists TFX veteran Deathstroke to infiltrate Brainiac’s ship and rescue the heroes. Slade successfully kills a replicant and frees an unconscious Superman from Brainiac's collection, but Brainiac forces them to retreat.

• To ensure that no one else could reach his hostages, Brainiac begins deploying his replicants to breach the Omniverse, looking for conquered, hero-less worlds he could easily defend.

• However, this plan backfires when survivors from these conquered worlds unify to defy Brainiac's occupation of their realities. 

• Isolated from the rest of the Light, Lex Luthor and Sydney Happersen attempt to use LexCorp tech to fend off Brainiac's forces attacking LexCorp headquarters. They order Mercy & Otis Graves, and Hope Taya to escape with the remnants of Project 33.1, Project: Everyman and Project: Hero of Metropolis. Despite their efforts, the tower is overrun, and both Luthor and Happersen are killed.

• As per Luthor's instructions, upon his death, all his assets go to his VP, Mercy Graves. She orders an immediate change of directive: all LexCorp projects that were aimed at fighting aliens and meta-humans would be turned towards fighting Brainiac. 

• Surviving Brainiac’s initial attack on the Daily Planet, Lois Lane organises a resistance movement to rescue survivors. Joining her are her children Jon, Jordan, and Samuel Kent, their dog Krypto, Jimmy Olsen, Eve Teschmacher, Titano, and Zoe Lawton, aka Lawless.

• The Resistance is joined by the Graves and the rest of the LexCorp survivors: including Raptor Squad and Planet Watch. 

• Unable to reenter Brainiac’s ship, Deathstroke steals the Coluan's interdimensional traversal tech and begins hopping between conquered worlds, rescuing prisoners. Among the refugees he brings back are those willing to join Task Force X in exchange for a chance to kill Brainiac, including The Joker from Earth G-14/19, Mrs. Freeze from Earth-273.15, and Lex Luthor from Earth-2. They are dubbed Task Force Y-0. 

• The rescued heroes are safely transported out of Metropolis and placed under the care of STAR Labs, where they begin their recovery.

• In a final, desperate bid to stop Brainiac, Hack and Luthor devise a plan to shut down Brainiac’s Skull Ship across all realities, crippling his operations. To carry out their plan, they must first locate Brainiac Prime.

• Inspired by Professor Anthony Ivo's A.M.A.Z.O. Android, Toyman creates a series of "action figures" called I-DOLLS, capable of mimicking the powers of the Justice League.
• Recognising their potential, Waller assigns Toyman to expand the project under the name Project: Schott, granting him full access to A.R.G.U.S.'s weapons vault for further development.

• While the Justice League and Justice Society run interference, TFX-99 ambushes and kills Brainiac Prime. With his death, the remaining replicants lose connection with their creator and die. His tech is seized and - mostly - destroyed by A.R.G.U.S. and the D.E.O.

• With their task complete, the Secret Society is dissolved. Many of its members go their separate ways.

• Unbeknownst to anyone, one of the Brainiac replicants, designated Brainiac 5, is stolen from the Fort Graye incinerator by three unknown individuals wearing matching L rings. From the data recovered from Brainiac's Coluan Data Crystals, this replicant was deemed by his creator as "defective" and possessing "uncharacteristic personality flaws that jeopardised the primary directive." 

• Cyborg integrates with the Skull Ship’s data core, freeing every city digitised during Brainiac’s invasion. With Black Lightning’s approval, a small group of Leaguers journeys across the universe to restore cities taken from other worlds.

• The world begins slowly rebuilding. Though Brainiac's invasion has left deep scars.

April

• A funeral is held for Lex Luthor. 

• The Light mourns for the loss of one of their founders. To honour him, they try and appoint his sister Lena to take up his role within their ranks. However, she turns it down. She suggests that Mercy take up the role in her stead. 

• Mercy Graves is appointed to the Light's Inner-Circle. 

• A funeral is held for Wonder Woman on Themyscira.

• With her vow to Diana complete, Hippolyta retires from the role of Wonder Woman. Diana's armour and sword are laid to rest with her body. Her Lasso is gifted to her brother, Jason.

• Believing that the world needs a Wonder Woman, Jason entrusts the Lasso to Cassie Sandsmark. Though she is nervous, fearing that she is not ready to take on such a role. Nevertheless, thanks to the reassurance of her friends in Young Justice, she agrees.
