Batman is not dead. Like Captain America before him, he is trapped in time or the multiverse. The only remainder of his form in our time is the husk that was once his body, but his essence is alive and well.

Proof of this can be found in The Blackest Night storyline. When the Black Lanterns attempted to use Batman’s empty corpse to force an emotional reaction from the other DC heroes they were unable to keep his corpse animated, while they had no problem maintaining the corpses of the other, legitimately dead, heroes such as John Jones, Hawkman and Hawkgirl, Ted Kord, Kal-L, etc.

Batman, given enough time and preparation, can take down anyone. Ever.

Couldn’t say it better myself.
