1.) Darkseid's Omega Sanction (as opposed, apparently, to the Omega Effect Darkseid ALSO uses) traps a target in a series of alternate lives, as was established in the Mr. Miracle SSOV miniseries by Grant Morrison. So, basically, it created a fried version of Batman while entrapping him mind and soul in another life.

2.) Each life still leaves a dead body that could be risen this way, of course, but it's my recollection that Hand and Nekron both used quotation marks when telling him to rise, implying that they know it's not the real Bruce Wayne or Batman.
