This makes no sense to me in the context of the DCU. Anyone living in the DCU would know that "ghosts and goblins", and aliens, and superhumans, and giant robots, et cetera, DO exist. Hell, the DCU's Earth has been invaded by extraterrestrials more times than I care to remember. Why would the Batman be so unbelievable? Even in OUR world the general public isn't that skeptical. Look at how many people believe in conspiracies and UFOs and all kinds of things without ever having looked at hard evidence and with an objective viewpoint.

That's the sticking point.

Tell me, what is the benefit to the character of Batman by having the Batverse as part of the DCU?
