Introduction[]
Barbatos also known as Bat-God is the ruler of the Dark Multiverse and former Dragon of the World Forge. He was created by the World Forger at least fifteen billion years ago to consume the twisted and unstable universes of the World Forge however, Barbatos become envious leading him to kill the World Forger and take his place as the new forger of the World Forge and those twisted universes that was meant to be destroyed by him lived beyond their times and darkened the World Forge.
At some point of time, Barbatos succeded to enter the Prime Earth and when he did, the Judas Tribe, the tribe that will be known as the Court of the Owls, worshiped Barbatos as a god. But he was repelled to the Dark Multiverse by Hawkman and Hawkgirl at the cost of their own lifes.
However, during his time on Prime Earth, Barbatos saw Batman fall through time and decided to turn Batman into a door that will allow him to return on Earth Prime. He altered events throughout history so that his worshipers decide the course of Batman's life to prepare Batman to become the door to the Dark Multiverse by infecting him with the five metals of the Dark Multiverse.
At some point of time, Barbatos managed to capture Hawkman and turn him into his dragon, forcing him to help Barbatos of fully corrupting the World Forge. He also found six dark version of Batman to help him to bring chaos in the positive matter multiverse.
In the present day, Barbatos was able to transport himself and the Dark Knights to Earth Prime with the intent of draging it into the Dark Multiverse. After his defeat, Barbatos was left chained down to the bottom of the Dark Multiverse by the Monitor, forced to watch the Forge of Worlds burn bright once more until the return of the World Forger.
Age: Barbatos is at least 15 billion years old.

Weaknesses: Thought to be nearly invincible, Barbatos is vulnerable some metals of the Dark Multiverse. Among them all, the Tenth Metal/Element X is the purest and the most effective against Barbatos while the Nth Metal is pure enough to repel him. It seems in order to use his reality alteration powers to its fullest extent, Barbatos need enough people under his grip.
Conclusion: Overall, Barbatos is very powerful and should be one of the most dangerous threat in the DC Multiverse. He has good universal feats and creating worlds aka universes statements however, it should be noted that the universes destroyed by Barbatos were fragile and destined to fall back decayed. Something is important to note about Barbatos is him threatening the Dreaming and Dream of the Endless was only possible because he bringned the stories that should never be told of the Lucien's library which is the twisted world of the Dark Multiverse into the main reality. So, Barbatos is not hyperversal or anything near of it. Regardless, he should at very least be around Anti-Monitor level.
