NCIS-1 Multiverse

Thanks lordroel

No CSI Gotham.

Here's a question for you, lordroel ... what would be the theme song for a CSI: Gotham TV series?

It has to be from The Who, in keeping with the other CSI shows.

Note: Eminence Front is the theme song for the CSI: Metropolis TV show (airing in some alternate universe on CBS All Access in the States, Netflix and other streaming platforms outside the US).

Haswari is immediately hunted down by an NCIS team and becomes unhinged, and his actions in the aftermath trigger a two-month-long event that results in hundreds of terrorist attacks across the U.S. and Israel that result in 2,160,010 deaths and the injuries of several million more people. One of those deaths is that of President Jonathan Vincent Horne, who is assassinated by Haswari himself (July 4) after the terrorist teleports into the Oval Office of the White House, where Horne insisted on remaining despite previous pleas from his advisors and the Joint Chiefs to retreat to safer ground. Vice-President George W. Bush is sworn in as President at an “undisclosed location” (Mount Weather in Pennsylvania) and, as his first act, does what Horne refused to do – citing the National Emergencies Acts, he declares a national emergency (largely at the insistence of Horne’s chief of staff, Dick Cheney); that does not stop the attacks, nor the growing fear and unrest throughout the nation. Superman hears of the emergency from Rannian sources (July 5) and arrives on Earth (July 14), saving the lives of Jonathan and Martha Kent and Lana Lang after an aborted terrorist attack in Smallville, Kansas led by Haswari himself (July 16). The Suicide Squad is tracked down to its base in Rhode Island (July 21) all members except for Floyd Lawton (Deadshot) are killed by a combined SEAL/Green Berets special forces team. Waller is not found and presumed missing or dead; Haswari’s whereabouts are traced to an abandoned farm outside of Bludhaven (throwing the entire state of New Troy into chaos), and Bush authorizes Operation Justice to capture Haswari alive or dead; it ends in the deaths of 207 American military personnel and 916 terrorists serving as Haswari’s last-stand Army (Aug. 5). In the aftermath, Bush lifts the state of national emergency (Aug. 8) and Task Force X is dismantled (Aug. 9). It also marks the first time the so-called Trinity (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman) meet (July 20) and all three have suffered tragedy from the events of The Siege. The Trinity also meets J’onn J’onzz during the Siege, and J’onzz later reveals his alien identity to all three members separately

World Championship Wrestling, Inc. (WCW) is an American professional wrestling promotion founded in 2017 and considers itself to be the continuation of the former wrestling promotion also known as World Championship Wrestling (1989-2002). It is owned by Wayne Entertainment LLC, which purchased the rights to the intellectual property of the old WCW when it went up for sale in 2016.



Eric Bischoff, who was an Executive Vice President and Executive Producer of the old WCW, is the current WCW’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

1.3.13 The aftermath

Wayne Entertainment had made plans to start a wrestling promotion regardless of the outcome of the WCW rights, and had already built a structure ready to go on the targeted date of March 15...

...WWE abruptly removed all of the old WCW-related shows, pay per views and other programming from the WWE Network on January 4. Then, in a harshly criticized move, WWE began to remove all references to WCW from past WWE footage, even rewriting the 2001 Invasion angle to that of Vince McMahon-backed WWE against rival WWEs "owned" by Shane and Stephanie McMahon...
