Synopsis for "Apocalypse Girl"

A Batman Elseworlds tale set in an alternative, futuristic Earth, named Earth 14Q3X-9 follows Zia, a young party girl who is the daughter of a scientist working on a portal, as she is transported to an alternative Gotham city where Batman is used as a marketing brand.

Zia heads out on the town to club Xanadu with her friend Minni. After refusing to take drugs from the aforementioned friend, Minni spikes Zia's drink anyway. In a drug addled state Zia finds her way home into her scientist father's laboratory only to stumble into his portal and find herself in an alternate Gotham on the other side, where Batman is everything from consumerist products to the theme of thug gangs that roam the parks. Still in a heightened state, Zia finds herself in front of another club and mistaking it for Xanadu, walks in. Zia is approached by a man and together they go back to his place for the night only for Zia to wake up in the morning, sober and to the sight of the man disintegrated on the floor. Scared and disoriented, Zia flees the apartment. Batman, by the tip of Gordon, begins to investigate the "murder."
