What if William Afton existed in the DC Universe and his story was adapted so he'd become a Batman villain? (The type of Batman depends on your personal preference)

A restaurant in Gotham city called Freddy Fazbear's Pizza got into legal trouble over the disappearances of numerous children. Upon the discovery of the childrens' corpses inside the animatronics, the business was flooded with enough lawsuits to put it out of business. The killer, however, was never apprehended due to a lack of decisive evidence. William Afton, the owner of the restaurant, wanted to salvage the animatronics for parts to save whatever money he had left. Said owner unwittingly freed the restless revenants of the murdered children who wanted revenge on their killer, Mr. Afton himself. Fearing for his life, William Afton crammed himself inside a dilapidated animatronic suit fitted with spring locks. The corroded spring locks failed, which turned the suit into an iron maiden, inflicting mortal wounds all over Mr. Afton's body and condemning him to a slow and brutal death.
A few decades later, someone cluelessly took Mr. Afton's body out of the old restaurant to use to decorate their Freddy Fazbear's Pizza horror attraction at a theme park. But for some inexplicable reason, William Afton still lives, his spirit trapped inside the spring lock suit like the children he murdered. After suffering alone in the restaurant with his decaying sanity as his only company, William Afton became a being that is satiated by the very act of committing murder. After he failed to kill the security guard employed to watch over the attraction, the place burned down, rendering Springtrap's whereabouts unknown.
Since then, a mysterious serial killer has plagued Gotham, murdering people without a discernible motive, eluding the authorities at every turn. It seems Batman is the only detective who can bring this killer to justice.
