The "Ghost" Booker [WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS]

[Trans Catgirl Lenin]

At the ending of Burial at Sea- Episode 1, it turns out that this Booker Dewitt is Comstock (the flashback images of the baptism). Instead of baby Elizabeth being taken, she was killed because she didn't pass through Comstock's portal in time. Due to this, the Lutece twins give him the chance to leave the horrors of his past and take him to Rapture, which Comstock agrees to, changing his name to his past name. This then forces Elizabeth to kill him.

Now, to the Burial at Sea- Episode 2 trailer. As you can see, Booker DeWitt sappears to be alive, despite his dead body lying on the ground. My theory is that this Booker is a combination of prime Booker and Rapture Booker. Due to their extreme dimensional impact, this has occured, and they have become a trans-dimensional being. I also guess that he will (gameplay wise) give supplies to Elizabeth (as Elizabeth gave supplies to Booker when he was still alive), and won't get shot at because only Elizabeth can see him. Even if Booker gets shot at, he wouldn't be hurt, due to him being a ghost-like entity.

TL;DR: Booker is now a trans-dimensional being.

I'm thinking Booker is in Elizabeth's head, either as a delusion or as memories from splicing like the phantom memories in Bioshock 1, enhanced by Elizabeth's own powers, at the end of episode 1 Booker's vigor infused blood got on Elizabeth transferring his memories to her, and now manifesting as the Booker we saw in the trailer.

Interesting theory, but you made a few mistakes:

No, he WAS Comstock

I think you mean Rapture, not Columbia

He was a Comstock that wasn't killed by Booker in his reality, had his memory changed, then sent to Rapture to escape what he had done, then Elizabeth tracked him down and tricked him into remembering and confronted him, before she got her revenge. (also the little sister in BAS is the Elizabeth of that reality) at least that's my take on it.

What happened was after the kidnapping attempt failed, he rejected his life as Comstock and returned to being Booker, and went to rapture to forget his troubles.

He didn't have his memory changed. The effects of travelling through tears is somewhat detrimental. Travelling through tears causes your mind to forget memories and replace them with new ones. "The mind of the subject will desperately struggle to create memories where none exist".

Thanks for pointing out those mistakes.

Armin, that's actually an interesting theory. Take the Luteces' for example: when they were killed they became transdimensional. In Infinite, Booker becomes a dimensional traveller, from the beginning he was put into Comstock's universe, later he and Elizabeth go to a dimension to where the gunmaker is alive, then to another dimension where the tools are back at the factory and they end up in the Vox revolution. Elizabeth can open tears and such because she's "divided" between dimensions because of her finger, right? Perhaps Booker is indeed like the Lutece twins and is some kind of interdimensional being because he died in a dimension that wasn't his own, he doesn't belong there.

It's either that, or the ghost thing where he is just a product of Elizabeth's imagination. If you think about it, with Lady Comstock, Elizabeth said that she had created the Lady Comstock ghost because of her powers and her memories...perhaps something similar happens for BaS 2 and Elizabeth "creates" a ghost Booker.

About the ghost Booker thing, I think its more likely that he is part of Elizabeth's imagination. I think this because he is sitting down playing the guitar, like in shantytown. Perhaps this is the version of Booker that Elizabeth wants to imagine, not the Comstock side.

It would probably be the Booker from the main game.
