#Danny is the avatar of the god of madness and religious ecstasy

DP x DC: Bacchae

So, the greek gods just exist in the DC universe, which has some interesting implications. So, Dionysus, greek god of wine, ritual madness, theater and frankly a lot of things beyond the scope of wine, he just straight up exists.

An interesting thing about him is that he's often referred to as "twice born" and sometimes is worshiped as a chthonic deity with ties to the underworld and resurrection

Hmmm... Twice born... Resurrection... Bisexual as hell...

Danny as an avatar of Dionysus

Not the god himself, more so a conduit for his power, much like Captain Marvel. He has been divinely touched and the powers of the god flow through him. Danny gains the ability to grow grape vines, and use them much the same as Poison Ivy could. Turning people into animals, and of course cause madness

The Bacchae details Dionysus's return to his birthplace of Thebes in disguise with his entourage of bacchants(followers/revelers) to punish the mistreatment of his mother and their refusal to acknowledge him as a god

Danny returns to his birthplace, Gotham. He is there with his friends to meet his birthmother and make his father acknowledge him. The problem?

Danny is the son of Harley Quinn and his father is the Joker, and the Joker doesn't like to be upstaged, his son or not...
