Imagine a world where Batman and his family never joined the Justice League but like, both Wonder Woman and Superman know him.
They mention him idly sometimes and even despite not being there (that they know of) he's become the League's cryptid. No one knows who this hero is- Gotham sticks to itself, it's a shithole but it's their shithole- or where they are or anything??
Eventually rumors start going around between the heroes. Is the bat some sort of eldritch being? They overheard the big 2 say something about shadows and undead revival?? Their secret boyfriend? They heard them talk about kids???
It comes to a slight head when during a mind-controlled Superman rampage he gets tackled by a black blur and the next time they see him he's fine?? No mind control??? What?????
"Oh, Bats was passing by and is exasperated about me getting mind controlled again."
Supes that doesn't explain as much as you think it does-

How Batman Obtains New Members for the Batfam
Bruce: I saw a black haired sad orphan when I was coming back from work today.
Alfred: Oh no.
Bruce: They were really sad.
Alfred: Master Bruce please tell me you didn't...
Bruce: Alfred met New Kid. Just adopted them. Also tell Damian that is time he come up with another name and go solo. New Kid is Robin now.
Or
Independent Gotham Hero: *living their life* *wait is that shadow getting closer*
Batman: You'll never gonna make it by yourself. Stop being a hero before you die.
Independent Gotham Hero: No.
Batman: You gave me no choice but to either train you or have you trained by another core adult member of the bat clan.
*How Superman Gets New Members for the Superfam*
Hal: So, Supes, what's the deal with the new kid hidding behind you?
Clark: Is complicated.
Diana: Are they a clone?
Barry: No, no, betcha they are another one involving time travel.
Ollie: My bet is alternate reality.
Clark: Er...
Bruce: Just tell them, Clark.
Clark: Fine. They are a clone of a future version of my son from an alternate reality and also they are Wally's third cousin.
Or
Superman: Hello, Conner, you wanted to talk.
Superboy: I think Bizarro Lex just follows me around now? Can I have him as a sideckick? He has superpowers from a failed science experiment.
Superman: *already tired* You know Bizarro people aren't pets right Kon?
Superboy: *offended* Of course Bizarro da-Lex is my friend and we fight crime together! *Clark looks at him as if reading his intentions* Please.
Superman: Okay.
Superman II (Jon): I discoverred an alternative reality were we are all martians but Mars exploded during the white martians war and the only survivor was an alternative version of aunt Kara and aunt Karen called K'aeri that is also the daugther of alternative Kon. She is really nice. Can she join us?
Superman: *trying to not show how done he is* If everyone is okay with that I see no problem.
Powergirl: I-
Superman: Come to ask my opinion on another super person?
Powergirl: No. I just wanted to say hi. Got a guinea pig but he isn't really super at the moment.
Superman: Nice to hear that. : )
Bizarro: I did not come to ask for a new member
Superman: Oh nic-wait a second.

Random thought as I'm hyped up on coffee:
Read a post recently that made a case for Batman to actually be a sweet "a little bit of coffee with my cream and sugar" type of guy, and Superman to be a black coffee drinker because super metabolism processes the coffee so fast normal stuff doesn't affect him much.
I love this idea. The two switch coffee orders to maintain their respective images. It is glorious.
I raise you: this totally fits the Battison version of Batman. Fandom paints him as an absolute cinnamon roll, so I raise you his coffee order is the cinnamon roll coffee (Brown sugar cinnamon white chocolate breve latte) (I just had one of those, it was divine and so sweet).
His public persona always gets this order with a few specifications (maybe extra sugar and a specific milk type because yes).
So, obviously, Batman cannot be caught dead drinking that. He either never orders in costume, or is forced to get it black, only able to add those pathetic sugar and cream packets when no one is looking.
That is, until he becomes friends with one Superman. Superman has the same but opposite problem as him. So, whenever they are able to get coffee together in uniform, they get each other's orders and discretely switch. Of course, this means they have to get the coffee in containers that look the same and are not see-through.
