After Bane ambushed the Batcave and killed Alfred, Batman came to cyborg for help in bringing back his surrogate father in some way. Having already copied Alfred's mind, all he needed was help in turning him into a full AI. The AI they created, the Alfred Protocol, became a virus, killing the rogues gallery and then moving on to take Batman as well. The AI fused with him, erasing his humanity and cybernetically enhancing him. The newly made Murder Machine would then proceed to kill the Justice League of his Earth, joining the Dark Knights not long after.
