Line 49:
** Given that Batman has seen demons, been teammates with angels, and in general encountered the mystic enough to know that ''some'' kind of supreme being exists, Batman's position is sometimes written not as "There is no God" but "When I finally meet God, He'd better have a ''really'' good explanation for all this crap."
** Even if he doesn't believe in God, he probably has such a plan.
** After much scrutiny, the folks at the [https://web.archive.org/web/20170312054032/http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/comic_book_religion.html#heroes Adherents] website have concluded that [https://web.archive.org/web/20131028171655/http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/Batman.html Batman is a lapsed Episcopalian or Catholic.] Neil Gaiman gives him a suitable atheistic afterlife. He gets to reincarnate as himself, in a different Earth, every time.
** At least in the [[The Bronze Age of Comic Books|Bronze Age]], he is definitely not a religions practitioner. When asked by Dr. Leslie Thompkins if he ever prayed, he replied "No. Not since ''that night''."
** According to ''[[Batman Beyond]]'', Batman is not an atheist. He just only believes in Gods he has evidence for...for example, he is obviously not stupid enough to deny all the angels, gods, demons, zombies et al he's seen are not real; however he's quick to point out that he doesn't believe in most ''claims'' of them, because he's experienced enough to know the real Gods and angels and demons and suchlike from the fakes.
