Synopsis

Alex succeeds in his plan to restore the old multiverse, and most of Earth's heroes are sent to a version of Earth-2, albeit uninhabited, while others are sent to their respective Earths that once existed pre-Crisis in the same condition as Earth-2. As both Supermen fight each other on Earth-2, due to the older Superman blaming the younger one for his wife's death, the pre-Crisis Wonder Woman contacts Diana and warns her to stop the fight as she begins to fade from existence due to her godly powers post-Crisis waning.

Indexer Notes

Death of Lois Lane-Kent (pre-Crisis Earth-2); last true appearance of pre-Crisis Earth-2 Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor (cameo). Of other note, it seems that Flamebird [Bette Kane] is now from pre-Crisis history Earth-2, given her appearance on the restored Earth-2 alongside the other heroes who were there.
