Science/Technology

How smart is Batman in the overall area of science and technology? These are some of Batman's best scientific feats in general as shown in the comics.

A rookie Batman built a ultrasonic tone device that can lure all the bats from the Batcave to the near destroyed building he is in at the time causing massive confusion and a good distraction for him to getaway quickly (Batman #406)

An OMAC is able to restrain Batman using his own specially made handcuffs against him that was co-designed by Mr. Miracle (best escape artist in the DCU) making them inescapable (The Omac Project #3)

Makes sure that a KOed Silver Banshee stays out of the fight by placing a hypersonic device on her which is stated to be effective even against paranormal creatures. He then modifies the hypersonic device on the spot in order to have it redirect her sonic scream back at her keeping her subdued and impressing Superman (Superman Batman #3)

Developed an X-Ray tablet device with the help of Mr. Terrific that proved capable of performing a deep scan underground to see inside the coffin of a dead man (Detective Comics #1028)

Designed a high tech private channel communication device that has an impressively extremely far reach as proven when Superman is clearly communicating with him over the private channel despite the Man of Steel being in space just above the earth (Batman Superman #5)

The comm device he designed and gave to Superman is either always on even if its turned off or he can override the off switch to turn it on any time he wants having used it to eavesdrop on Superman's conversation with Jochi (Batman Superman Annual #1)

Batman Superman #29-30:

- Built a small universal translator device based off Green Lantern's power ring translator technology (having studied Hal's power ring technology secretly) that can be used to talk to other alien beings effectively with no problem as seen when Superman is shown talking to the giant alien lizard using Batman's device

- We later learn that he reverse engineered Green Lantern's power ring technology and uses the same device to directly communicate to Hal's Green Lantern power ring from outer space while Hal's on earth

Builds a device that is able to prevent Martian Manhunter's (really Ma'alefa'ak/Malefic who is Martian Manhunter's brother) telepathy from invading his mind (JLA Classified #45)

jlaclassified45-telepathicblocker1.jpgjlaclassified45-telepathicblocker2.jpg

Based off his own design, he has Superman build a special high tech security door for him that's created with kryptonite in it weakening and trapping Kid Amazo. In addition, the door was invented only for him to open based on his own psychology something Kid Amazo copied from Batman automatically (JLA Classified #40)

Designed the Justice League satellite security system and built in a secret override backdoor code for himself just in case (Batman & The Outsiders #22)

batmanoutsiders22-securitysystem.jpg

Designed the Justice League security system and put a manual override/shutoff option within the system just in case he ever had to get passed the security system undetected that he takes advantage of to get the element of surprise over the Crime Syndicate (Forever Evil #6)

Built his own teleporter that transports Superman, Martian Manhunter, and himself inside Lex Luthor's hidden satellite (JLA #15)

Reconstructing Red Tornado's android body (JLA #117)

jla117-redtornadorepair.jpg

Going through a stage of grief, he dissects Frankenstein's body so he could study then reverse engineer the life force that fuels the monster's body in order to bring his son (Robin/Damian Wayne) back to life. However, thanks to Alfred and Red Robin his plan is stopped before he could fully go through with it (Batman & Robin #19)

JLA: Paradise Lost #3

J'onn has died due to grave injuries caused him by Bull-Host King-Angel Asmodel. Batman, alongside Aztek, analyzed Martian Manhunter's body and figures out that his physiology should have prevented him from being truly killed by the ordeal under any circumstances, and that his body simply shut down. Then he finds a way to use Flash's ability to lend kinetic energy to restart his body, thus bringing him back.

jlaparadiselost3-doctorbatman1.jpgjlaparadiselost3-doctorbatman2.jpgjlaparadiselost3-doctorbatman3.jpgjlaparadiselost3-doctorbatman4.jpg

On an alien planet, the JLA calls upon Batman's tech expertise (with Flash referring to him as the team gadgeteer) to design and enhance/modify giant alien robots which Batman (with help from a crew of alien construction workers) turns into armor/weaponry that are made to mirror the leaguer's super powers (JLA Classified Cold Steel #1)

Batman v2 #43 & #49:

- Built a cloning machine in secret (that he didn't finish) mainly based on his own DNA that he intended to be a used as a means to ensure that their would be a Batman around to protect Gotham forever

batman43-clonemachine1.jpgbatman43-clonemachine2.jpg

- Uses the same cloning machine at full power resulting in full brain death in order to restore his mind back to where it once was before his recent battle with The Joker so he could become Batman again. He even created what's called "The Alfred Protocol" which is a backup of all the memory drives to get the machine back online after the server had been destroyed

Is the creator of Brother Eye which is a super advanced spy satellite that went undetected for years and contained information & protocols on every hero and villain on earth (Picture 1-2: OMAC Project #2, Picture 3: OMAC Project Infinite Crisis Special, & Picture 4: The Essential Batman Encyclopedia - see the blue box at the bottom of the last picture)

omacproject2-brothereye1.jpgomacproject2-brothereye2.jpgomacprojectinfinitecrisisspecial-brothereye.jpgbatmanencyclopedia-brothereyecreation.jpg

Post-Flashpoint, Brother Eye still acknowledges Batman as it's creator and is shown directly speaking to him (Justice League International Annual #1 2012)

jliannual1-brothereye1.jpgjliannual1-brothereye2.jpgjliannual1-brothereye3.jpg

Brother Eye's telling his origin to Maxwell Lord and how he originally started out as just the super spy satellite Brother One that tracked and collected data of every meta human and alien being on earth. We also learn that Batman was unknowingly responsible for giving Brother One sentient life by removing the sentient alien tech out of a mother box then installing it inside his Brother One satellite giving birth to the now super advanced Brother Eye satellite who can now access every mainframe on earth which is similar to his Justice League teammate Cyborg (DC Universe Presents #0)

Chemistry

Creates an antidote that ends Whisper's slow aging process plus removes her body's chemical need (Detective Comics #750)

detective750-whispercure1.jpgdetective750-whispercure1a.jpgdetective750-whispercure2.jpgdetective750-whispercure3.jpgdetective750-whispercure4.jpg

Using Poison Ivy's DNA, he creates an antidote in a short amount of time for Scarecrow's powerful new fear toxin (that has taken control over everyone in Gotham) while inside one of Arkham Asylum's medical facilities that was being used by Scarecrow as a laboratory (Detective Comics v2 #28)

detective28-poisonivy1.jpgdetective28-poisonivy2.jpgdetective28-poisonivy3.jpg

Developed a broad based antitoxin cure in a short amount of time to counteract The Joker's newly created, very aggressive, and more powerful joker venom that infected his Justice League teammates despite each leaguer being individually dosed with a specific version of the joker venom (Batman v2 #36)

Detective Comics #402 & 407

Created a serum that returns Manbat (aka Kirk Langstrom) & his wife back to human form

detective402-manbatcure1.jpgdetective402-manbatcure2.jpgdetective407-manbatcure3.jpgdetective407-manbatcure4.jpgdetective407-manbatcure5.jpg

After various tries and in his Bruce Wayne persona, he finds a way to change Poison Ivy (who is more plant-like than human) back into a normal woman (Gotham Knights #64)

From The Creeper's blood sample, Bats is able to figure out his secret identity and create an antidote he's reasonably sure will bring Jack Ryder (aka Creeper's alter-ego) back to normal by destroying the alien cells Jack is bonded to although Jack Ryder/The Creeper ultimately decides not to take the cure later on in the story (The Creeper #6 2007)

thecreeper6-creepercure1.jpgthecreeper6-creepercure2.jpg

Created a compound (which was turned into trick arrowheads by Green Arrow) that's able to turn a solid wall into something akin to water plus smelled like milk and honey (Green Arrow #75)
