Fun Fact: In the late 1970s, Gentleman Ghost was established as part of Batman's rogues gallery, with him even taking part in a meeting set up by Joker to have all of the Gotham villains find and kill Batman before Killer Croc does. Since Gentleman Ghost was officially a Batman villain for a time, the _Brave and the Bold_ cartoon plays into this by not only having Gentleman Ghost be one of the more recurring villains Batman faces, but establishes Batman as the reason Craddock became the Ghost in the first place. It should also be noted that Gentleman Ghost (as well as Doctor Destiny) was at one pointed considered for _The New Adventures of Batman,_ which would have been his debut in the DCAU. Unfortunately he was never used until _Justice League Unlimited._

Honestly I think not. This was a win win, just can't hide his immortality. He has exactly what he asked for and more. Selectively intangible and can take carried objects with him, flight, invulnerable to attacks that do hit him (if still subject to seemingly increased knockback and some pain) This character would be on level or better than Savage's form of immortality, and a lot less likely to randomly be buried for thousands of years if he were smarter or just changed his methods.

He's a Hawkman villain (hence the Nth Metal weakness) that showed up as a Batman villain in the cartoon, but my introduction to him was in a Superfriends episode where his beef was with Superman and Wonder Woman for returning him to his grave.

I love how some comics will make it out that he’s a real ghost, while other writers writer he isn’t. Just a man playing up an illusion. The mystery is what keeps it interesting.
