Decent explanation for resurecction sans Superboy Prime punching reality:


 * We have the Serpent, I've combined this in my head with Clench for it to be a bigtime biochemical weapon.


 * Team struggle to stop Ra's releasing it, Jason stas back and notice's Ra's contigency Joker, pretty suicida; when it comes to chemical weapon. They fight with Joker playing around for most of it but underestimating Jason's violent streak, badly damaged. The Serpent/Clench is released only to building, Joker and Jason both killed by it but no one else, heroic sacrafice blah blah.


 * Kobra at some point significantly later gets the body, his snake fanaticism wanting the Snake Epidemic under his command and only able to harvest from his body. Tissue destroyed by age, requires ressurecction. Bring in snake mythology, Ascelpius, a snake based Greek Hero/minor God whose Staff of intertwining snakes is a famous medical symbol as he was known for being capable of reviving the dead. Shimmer does some hocus pocus with the magic relic,brings jason and joker's bodies back to life while absorbing into the cult of kobra's thrall.

After the other bits were used to allow for Jason's existance and a somewhat meaningful death, the resurrection really just followed on easily.
