Decades earlier, Solomon Grundy was on a cross-country criminal rampage, seeking his arch-enemy Green Lantern for revenge. Lantern's fellow Justice Society members each tracked Grundy to various towns, with Doctor Mid-Nite encountering Solomon in the burg of Carver. The Doctor was unable to subdue Grundy, who overpowered him and escaped. However, Mid-Nite and his fellow teammates eventually joined forces to overwhelm Grundy, with their fallen friend Green Lantern returning the favor for saving his life by exiling Solomon in an emerald globe on the surface of the Moon.
Swamp Thing and the Batman of Earth-One would encounter one another a couple more times, the first of which was when Swampy was captured by a carnival promoter. Soon after freed, Swamp Thing assists Batman in uprooting dangerous experimental spores while evading capture by the government. Still later, Swamp Thing and Batman teamed up on a case to track down the killers of Catwoman's sister Felicia, a woman who resembled Alec's late wife Linda.
Solomon Grundy and Doctor Mid-Nite battled one another once more, when Grundy's green-globe was eventually pulled from the moon back down to Earth-Two. However, this encounter was overshadowed by the appearance of the Anti-Matter Man, a malevolent explorer from the Anti-Matter Universe. Mid-Nite's Justice Society teammate Batman finally met Grundy years later, when he and Superman confronted the creature along with his new master, the Ultra-Humanite.
