JUst seeing him in that costume would scare the hell out of crooks(or make them laugh so hard that that they wouldn't be able to put up a fight).

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read! My vote is for Alfred, but not the comic book version--I say go for Alan Napier, the TV Alfred! He's good enough to fool Gordon by wearing a Batman costume, and hides his mustache with a megaphone across the street so that he doesn't spread any cold germs! Thoughtful and tall! HA-HA-HA! This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read!

They are all fabulous of course, but I have to admit to really liking the one of Commisoner Gordon as Batman. The mustache coming out of the mask and the pipe are just hilarious. Oh, and I like the long long cape on Bat-Mite. Hee! They are all fabulous of course, but I have to admit to really liking the one of Commisoner Gordon as Batman.

He's pretty much Batman Lite to begin with; he's got the gadgetry and comparable martial arts skills. His detective work's probably not as good, but then he can just team up with the Dibny ghosts when he needs help. ...Of course, Ted needs to come back from the dead first, but that's a minor detail.

He doesn't need to reach the pedals, just magically command the batmobile to do what he wants. And besides, he wouldn't have to LOOK like Batman for very long....just long enough to throw the crooks off their game, then *POOF* they're all tied up & locked in a cage.
