Black Lantern Batman (Blackest Night (2009)

First Appearance: Blackest Night (2009) #5

The body of Batman buried in Gotham Cemetery next to his parents is actuay  a clone that was created by Darkseid and his scientists from Apokolips. His body was mistaken by the hero community to be the real thing, while the original Bruce Wayne was sent into the past when he was blasted with Darkseid's Omega Beams.

Black Hand had stolen his skull from Batman's grave, carrying it around it with him.

Blackest Night (2009) #5: Nekorn used the skull to create a Black Lantern version of Batman to cause an emotional tether to the resurrected heroes. He then created several rings that possessed his former friends  and killed them in order that Nekorn could use them for his corps. While Barry tries to save the heroes from their fate, Green Lantern restrains him with an energy construct. Nekron tells him that he has served his purpose and orders him to go 'back to rest.' The ring's connection is severed and the Black Lantern Batman is destroyed.
