Two ESL (Egypt) Dictionaries' links at the end of this article ; one for children, the other is for adults and teenagers.

When Batman dies he comes back as a ghost nearly immediately. He soon finds a stable portal to cross through, intending to find Gotham as soon as possible.

Is clearly terrified for his family and city but REFUSES to "abandon" Danny! D:> Stop being everything Danny's been praying for! This feels like a TRAAAAAP! He's gonna get attached then something BAD WILL HAPPEN!

*awkward BatHug deployed* its going to be Okay, Danny.

Obviously Bruce has been dead for a bit so Jason is sus until the kid says one of the batcodes

Cue the justice league having to summon or fight someone from the GZ/Infinte realms. They take one look at Batman and just start parenting/baby talking/treating him like a child.

And Batman doesn’t do anything about it! His core is humming happily because he is a baby ghost despite being a adult human.

Danny: Why is Lady Pandora here?

Batman: Realms issue came up. As Earth's resident Realms wrangler? I thought it time to introduce you to JLD. As they didn't even explain that it was a Realms issue until they summoned Lady Pandora.

Zatanna: How do you even know about the Infinite Realms?!

Danny: Cause he's Batman. Duh.

Batman: This is Phantom. The hero of Amity Park. He babysits a permanent portal between the Realms and Earth.

Danny: Urgh. Babysits is right. So! Who are we fighting this time!

Zatanna: Batman? Are you sure? The being running around isn't an everyday spirit! The Ancient of Dreams isn't something for a teen to fight!

Danny: Wait! Nocturn got out again!?! Urgh! What's he doing this time?!

Batman: Phantom has previously fought Nocturn, Undergrowth, Fright Knight, Pariah Dark and Plasmius.

Eldritch being: *gasp* A BABY!! Coochie coo! Coochie Coochie coo! Hello little one!! 😍

The Batman, slightly tilting his head back so the eldritch being can gently tickle his chin with their huge fuckin claws: *deadpan* Hello. It is very nice to meet you. I know that I am a very cute baby, but my associates have summoned you for assistance. Please focus.

You’re doing amazing sweeties!!

Bruce: I died six months ago. As is protocol it wasn't announced. Since many of us return, one way of another. This time I came back as a ghost. Phantom is the protector of Amity Park's permanent portal. I stayed for a while to mentor him. But had him contact my children. They turned up to help. And likely to ensure I was still myself.

Marvel: Uh, question Mr Batman. How did you damper your aura like that?!?

Bruce: Phantom created the device. It users electromagnetic fields manipulation to scramble and hide Ecto signatures.

Zatanna: Wait! The kid?!?! How?!

Bruce: He is incredibly intelligent. And the son of mad scientists. He used their work on reading Ecto signatures to work it out.

Clark: Why did you hide it from us?

On the other hand, you know who would have been in real distress? His kids, for those two months or so between his death and Danny’s phone call.

Bruce died as Batman, from an injury in the field. He was still alive when he was brought back to the Cave and died in the presence of his family. Though he didn’t regain consciousness and they didn’t get to say goodbye, there was no chance for the body to be swapped; there is no doubt that Bruce is dead.

They all get very drunk for a night or two. Even Jarro, who, as a telepath, is basically getting drunk by proxy.

They had a drawn-out knock-down fight over what to do about Bruce. Tim and Damian were in favour of attempting a resurrection (Pit or Apokalips). Dick and Jason and Cass were very much not. They’ve reached a compromise; they are not actively working on it but the body is in frozen storage with a lot of alarms on it.

Jason, who’s doing a lot better these days, took the cowl. Cass will take over eventually, but for the moment Jason is the best at maintaining the illusion of continuity. They have a cover story ready to go for Bruce Wayne’s death.

And then Jason receives the phone call, to his Oracle-secured batphone from an unknown number.

That usually means one of the other Bats on a burner, which usually means trouble, so he answers.

“Um, hi?” Not a voice he recognises, at all. “Is this Jason?”

Young. Male. Midwestern. Asking for Jason on the Batphone. Could be real trouble. “No, this is Mark,” he says. “You’ve got the wrong number.”

“He said you’d say that. Um, Jason? I have a message from your dad.”

Jason gets angry and breaks code. “My dad is dead.”

“I know,” says the voice. “He says, recognition code bee zero one, whisky delta india hotel mike… no, sorry, hotel sierra mike kilo, circumference, um… flange, uh… requirement? Requirement.”

Jason can’t say a word. Can’t breathe. It’s B’s code all right, no coercion, not compromised, and he felt the need to specify no time travel. But what he really can’t get over is the way it sounds like the kid is listening to someone prompting and correcting him, someone who’s standing there with him.

“And he says, contingency four two seven gee and… three one five? Yeah, three one five bee.”

Jason doesn’t know these from the top of his head. He rouses enough to drop Tim a quick text. Tim knows all the contingencies, the little freak.

Jason: contingencies 427g and 315b

Tim: !!!!!!!!!

Jason: what are they?

Tim: holy shit

Tim: moving to group chat

Jason swipes over to the batchat group.

Tim: jason just texted

Tim: b’s come back as a ghost

Tim: and he’s adopted again

Jason: Yeah, yeah I'm still here. So, B's a ghost huh? How'd you meet him?

Danny: Oh, um, there's a portal? To the Infinite Realms in my city. It's um, it's in my basement? My, my parents built it. I accidentally turned it on. So, so it's my job to keep everyone safe. Batman heard about it. He wanted to get back to Gotham. Um, but he um, he felt I needed help. But, I'm not, not always there. So...

Jason: Its ok kid. Take your time. Sounds like B has his hands full over there. He asking for Justice League backup?

Jason heard the muttering start again. Why wasn't B using the phone? Maybe it was a ghost thing? Something to ask the kid.

Or maybe a neon green suit with the eye-searingly pink symbol/belt. Which would obviously be irritating for him in the human world. Neon green and pink are very attention grabbing. But then in the realms he would retain his nature and ability to slip into the "shadows". The shadows here more or less just being the ambient environment which Ghost Batman still blends in to.

In a way, it would be like the Universe itself telling Batman, "No, you don't belong to this world any more. Batman belongs to the Infinite Realms now. Go back to the new shadows you fit into." Not that Bruce is going to heed that message.

Which generally leads to Bruce’s body getting “weekend at Bernie’s”-ed by his children.

JUST a game to some people,

it’s their whole careers!!!!!🥺”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?
