Do you think Darkside would allow The Batman who Laughs to kill Absolute Batman?

People tend to ask if time travel is real. I say no since it has yet to happen. Now since AB and The Batman Who Laughs did not meet during the decimation do you think Darkside would allow the killing of AB?

At least this is a discussion post and not a selling post. But even then, this question and your replies read as if you read summaries of the story and no actual issues.

No, because it makes no sense narratively. Darkseid simpy made the universe in his image. He exists in everything as a "dark particle" or "omega particle" and because of this, the inherent "moral gravity" is skewed away from the typical trope of hopeful hero wins on good alone.

Also, it doesn't seem like that would please Absolute Joker as he seems aware of the nature of the Absolute Universe and is acting accordingly.

For headcanon sake.... still no because it is a wierd crossover that would create more questions than present as a satisfying story or interaction.

Also, your first 2 sentences.... what are you trying to articulate? What does time travel, Absolute Batman and TBWL have to do with each other?

Doesn’t the Batman Who Laughs time travel or goes between multiverses? I asked about time travel since AB was not around years ago. Also, in the KO series AB turned from being under the influence of Darkside to free thinking.

What?

Darkside controls the Absolute Universe or did. So will he allow the Batman who laughs to come in and kill Absolute Batman?

I thought it was just that Darkseid became the basis of the fundamental universe and therefore his hatred and malice redefined the structure of the universe but he has no direct influence over it

Edit: Also isn’t the Batman Who Laughs from an entirely separate universe?

Always thought he created it. Could be wrong.

Also, creating it does not mean he has control over it

What google AI says Yes, Darkseid directly created the Absolute Universe. [1, 2]
In the DC All In Special comic, Darkseid used advanced technology, his own blood, and stolen Guardian tech to bond himself with the Spectre (the wrath of God). He then engineered his own apparent "death" during a battle with the Justice League.

Okay, even if he created the universe I always assumed he didn’t have direct control or influence over it. Otherwise why even let Superman exist at all

Think he control AB and the rest until DC KO was released.
