Synopsis for "The History of the DCU (Part X of X)"

Donna Troy witnesses the climactic events of Infinite Crisis and also discovers that on a "divergent path" (a hint about the storyline in 52), she was supposed to have died instead of Jade. The Orb confirms this -- and so does a Monitor, who appears in New Chronus to Donna's surprise.

• This issue does not have a designated title on its credits pages -- but "Batwoman Begins!" suffices.
