Vaux, who had made a pact with a demon to destroy Earth-2's heroes and their legacies, is defeated by the power of the JSA and Fate's magic, along with Bruce's heroic spirit. A side effect of this victory was that Fate was able to have the world remember Bruce Wayne and Batman as two separate people, thereby keeping his double identity a secret, as well as Robin's and Huntress's.
