Throughout BioShock, the bathyspheres are used by Jack as a mode of transportation to travel around Rapture and its 'abandoned' city sections. It is revealed that Jack can use the bathyspheres only because his genetic signature is close enough to Ryan's that the security system doesn't deny him access. Sullivan clearly states this in one of his Audio Diaries 'Sisters, cousins — anyone in the ballpark genetically will be able to come and go as they see fit.
This is seen in many of Fink's blueprints concerning Songbird and Songbird's reaction to water , seen the first time he attacks you when you and Elizabeth crash into Battleship Bay. Another reason is to tie Columbia and Rapture thematically. Rapture, like Columbia, is very much a dystopia, and the game BioShock holds many similarities with BioShock Infinite.
This suggests that Rapture is an alternate dimension of Columbia. This is further exemplified when Elizabeth mentions 'There's always a lighthouse, there's always a city, there's always a man"' pointing to the main thematic similarities between both cities, and the overarching themes of the series and possible future iterations of the series. I have seen the seeds of fire that will prepare the Sodom below for the coming of the Lord.
But Elizabeth shall sow those seeds, not I. I will fall before the job is done The Lord is calling me home. I feel His love in every tumor, because they are the train which takes me to his station. And I go with joy, knowing that Elizabeth will take my earthly place.
But the False Shepherd is coming to lead my Lamb astray. I will not board that train until she is safe from his deceptions. And He repented He had made man on the Earth. Forty days and forty nights of the stuff. And He left not a thing that walked alive. You see, my friends, even God is entitled to a do-over.
After the Battle of Wounded Knee, Booker was overcome with guilt for the atrocities he committed and sought a way to absolve himself of his sins. He turned to Preacher Witting for baptism, so that he may be reborn as a different man and start anew, free of his past atrocities. In one reality, Booker was unable to go through with the baptism, while in another he accepted it, and took on the name Zachary Hale Comstock. She and Booker travel to the place of Booker's baptism, where he was "reborn" as Comstock.
Elizabeth reveals that to truly destroy Comstock, in the set of realities where he accepts the baptism, Booker must die. With this revelation, Booker allows multiple Elizabeths from different universes to drown him. In doing so, Comstock and all of the events he put in motion — including the creation of Columbia — are erased from existence. While Comstock accepted baptism and changed his name in some realities, in others he rejected it and retained the name, Booker DeWitt.
Unable to find succor in religion, Booker turned to the vices of gambling and drinking to deal with his lingering guilt over his actions at Wounded Knee. At some point, he met Annabelle Watson whom he married and she became the mother of his child. Unfortunately, Annabelle died in childbirth, sending him further into his downward spiral of gambling debts and alcoholism. One day, Robert Lutece arrived and made an offer to erase Booker's debts in exchange for the infant Anna, an exchange he made but immediately regretted.
Booker attempted to retrieve his daughter but failed and she was taken through a Tear. Nearly two decades later, the Luteces had a change of heart and sent different versions of Booker repeatedly to Comstock's universes to retrieve Anna. These alternate Bookers failed times before the rd finally succeeded. In one of these universes where Booker failed, he became a prominent leader of the Vox Populi, and after his death was held up as a martyr to their revolution, which, in an ironic way, was a revolution being waged against a version of himself.
In an alternate reality, Comstock's path shifted course when rather than Anna's pinkie, her head was severed by the closing of the Lutece Tear. Overwhelmed by horror and guilt, Comstock had the initials 'AD' tattooed on his hand and had the Luteces help him escape to a new time and place where he could start a new life and forget his guilt.
The Luteces opened a tear to Rapture , where Comstock lost his memories of his prior life and began using his original name once more, Booker DeWitt while working as a private detective. At some point in his years in Rapture, he took in a young orphan girl named Sally , who disappeared one day while he was gambling at Sir Prize.
His search for her leads him to interrogate Dr. Yi Suchong but this yielded no leads. Sometime after, a police friend of his, Sullivan , told him they had found her body at the docks. A woman named Elizabeth comes to his office on New Year's Eve and hires him to find Sally, claiming that she is not dead. Though skeptical, Comstock follows her and eventually finds Sally in the sunken Fontaine's Department Store.
His struggle to pull Sally out of a vent triggers the memory of his identity as Comstock and Anna's death. The Luteces then appear and remark that Comstock always ran away from his problems by stealing the lives of others.
Comstock, once again guilt-stricken and horrified, tells Elizabeth he is sorry. Elizabeth, however, tells him he isn't, but he would be. Comstock is then impaled through the chest by the drill of a Bouncer. Also revealed are his previously unseen white hair and aged face, showing Comstock was still afflicted by his overuse of the Luteces' transdimensional device.
Despite her apparent hatred for this particular Comstock, Elizabeth acknowledges the fact that he had tried to save Sally, something which she is trying to do in Episode 2. When later questioned by her mental hallucination of Booker DeWitt on whether Comstock truly deserved to die, Elizabeth solemnly answers that everyone deserves to, one way or another.
