Post-Flashpoint
Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
She was captured by the Lords of Order and forced to wear the Cloak of Cyra thus making her a host to one of their number. As a result, she became Sister Symmetry where she joined her kind as they set about their plans for the removal of magic from the mortal world. They were present on the other dimensional world of Myrra that was being used as a place of shelter by the Justice League Dark who had fled from the Upside-Down Man and the Otherkind. (Justice League Dark v2 #9)
She was in London when Batman arrived in the city in search for her. At first, Xanadu attacked him with magic as she believed he was an attacker. However, the Dark Knight proved himself an ally and requested her aid where she used a portal to help the Justice League in the fight against the Eradicator. Despite her aid, the heroes were overwhelmed by the Kryptonian A.I.'s Daxamite army thus forcing Madame Xanadu to flee with the Justice League. (Justice League v4 #41)
