What did he mean by this?

He comes to the relaization that the act of observing or attempting to influence Earth Prime in any way causes new permutations to split off. You can't go to Earth Prime and destroy it, because the act of doing so creates an alternate reality where you didn't survive the trip (and realities that spin off from that) and an alternate reality where you're stopped, and so on. You can only destroy branches of the tree, not the roots.
And since his goal was to destroy the root, he realized his entire mission was folly.

Do you think he could have been redeemed if he found out who batman was under the mask?

>>87930617
He came to the realization that in a multiverse free will is an illussion, for every outcome a new universe where what you did didn´t happened is created.

>>87930617
It doesn't matter...

He was talking about how everything dies even the stars and the planets and the universe itself

It doesn't matter if you save the world or destroy it, the end outcome is the same. And nothing will matter anyway

Nihilism

>>87930696
The whole "Earth Prime" concept is retarded to begin with. No branch is less real, so you can't call one the "original" and the other a deviation.

Is he cool in the comics?

Post-Infinite Crisis it makes sense.
Between IC and the end of 52, every earth was a copy of the New Earth that was created after COIE.
It was only after Mr. Mind's tampering with their histories that they became what they are now.

That's not it at all.

>>87936949

That's still the same rule.

By the way, Earth-0 is the cornerstone of the multiverse. If you destroy the Earth-0 universe, the whole multiverse goes with it.

That's why the multiverse as a whole was altered by Flash time-travels during Flashpoint, despite him only messing with Earth-0's time-line.

Yeah, this guy thinks that Earth Prime is just another branch, when it's actually the trunk.
Which is, in itself, a clipping from a larger, dead tree.

The Organic DC metaphor works again.

What kind of fool claims they enjoy the meaninglessness of existence? Seems more like something a smug high-schooler would think than someone who's life experience actually made them a nihilist.

Go read Sartre and Camus then come back to me
>tl;dr if Life is meaningless, then fuck it'll i'll make my own damn meaning and be happy with it

>>87937196
But that's bullshit. Your meaning nonsense and your happiness is hollow.

Plus if there were truly infinite universes and only one Earth Prime the final battle should have been millions of Batmen versus millions of Owlmen,with maybe a few universes where Superman went instead of Batman or something. Instead of only two of them reaching earth-prime.

>>87937231
if all things are hollow, then may as well enjoy hollow happiness rather than wallow in hollow misery

>>87931015
You don't required a multiverse for that, free will is already an illusion.

>>87937231
It turns out that happiness is a chemical reaction, and doesn't care that existence is meaningless.

>>87937094
But in this case there is no way to say what is the "trunk" and what is a branch.

Fucking germans.
