There seemed to be a bunch of alien criminals who were probably banished by races that discovered the Phantom Zone independently from Jor-El on their own planets.
Imperiex is apparently there, but from what I remember, Batman barely did anything in the Our Worlds at War storyline. Imperiex wouldn’t know or care who Batman is, and I couldn’t imagine him being interested in conversing with Zod either.
The Teen Titan were there, and apparently Tim kept saying that Batman would rescue them? Maybe Zod overheard, would his super-senses work in the Zone? I doubt any of the Titans would actually want to converse with him. Superboy would have certainly heard of him and tell him to fuck off.
Unless Zod was eavesdropping on the Teen Titans, I don’t see who else would tell him about Batman. I don’t think Zod would especially care much about a human vigilante who operates primarily from one earth city.
