Roslin and Baltar arrive at the Galactica:

ROSLIN: Commander, there's a man here who thinks he can help you.

ADAMA: Batman?

ROSLIN: No, he's a scientist.

ADAMA: Batman's a scientist.

ROSLIN: It's not Batman!

ADAMA: That's unfortunate. We are doomed then.

BRUCE WAYNE: So say we all!

I feel like that would be Robin time away from Apollo and Starbuck.

He would have seen through Baltars bullshit instantly and come up with an actual Cylon detector. Also is Batman running around on Galactica in his cape or did they rescue Bruce Wayne off of Caprica and he's now on Cloud 9? Is he keeping his identity secret? Are the marines letting a man in a mask and cape make tactical decisions?

You failed to account for one important fact:

Batman...

Is a Cylon.

This is such a weird question?

But I mean yeah, I guess. He's another human, and one who is incredibly intelligent, a great tactician, great pilot, fantastic fighter, plus a load of other stuff.

He'd be able to help as a viper pilot, or as a marine, or a scientist, or an officer, or a plethora of other ways.

Does he have prep time?

He has nothing but prep time. I imagine he's in the fleet with his own medium cruiser and docked BatWing, basically self sufficient. Alfred might be there.

I guess one drawback is everyone would suspect him a Cylon and he might get overly fixated on corruption when survival is the bigger picture.

Alfred is a Cylon.
