I don't like a high tech Batman, and I don't think many other people do either.

Batman is a detective and a strategist. Leave time machines to Luthor.

@cameron83:

Batman isn't supposed to be "high tech" as much as he is supposed to be always prepared. His gadgets in the past have given the impression that he is high tech, but in the end they were more a part of him always being prepared for any situation.

Funny you should point out how his brother could fly and he couldn't. I was more impressed that Batman had a tiny explosive ready to stick on him during the fight.

Agreed.

well batman made a mega hightech flying suit for batwing showing that if he wanted to he could have a flying suit.

@nickzambuto: well more people do like high tech batman,and who even said anything about time machine's...when im talking about high tech i'm talking about upgrades......it makes no sense for him to NOT be high tech,if he is supposed to run around the city in a cloth suit..then that is just,stupid

@BlueArrow: yea but cant he give some of those upgrades to himself...

and the idea of saying i dont like a high tech batman is like saying i dont like a high tech iron man,point is,he is SUPPOSED to be high tech,if you get rid of that we might as well get rid of the batsuit,and the batcave,etc...and i REALLY dont get how batman is SUPPOSED to be a high tech hero,yet people don't like it when he is,if you want traditional batman than adam west is right around the corner,and yes he is supposed to be high tech,regardless if you like it or not,i dont like superman and batman wearing boxer's,but at times they do,for a non high tech batman...it just seems,ridiculous....way more people like a high tech batman anyway,just hope we see one,and some people are mad that batman has a contact lense that is high tech,something that finally puts him in tony's league,but when tony has armor that comes out of the pores of his skin,people don't care...batman is supposed to be high tech,and don't tell me about original batman because original batman never wore armor,he just wore a ridiculous skin tight costume

Batman is oldschool

Batman's tech level rises and falls based on what the writer needs it to be. Based on his usual arsenal it is makes a lot more sense that while he is high tech, he is not among the elite. I agree with the other that having cutting edge military tech and not Braniac level stuff is a better fit.

@cameron83: How can he be high tech guy when he's on the same team as Cyborg? this is one of the merits of having MM on the team as opposed to the cyborg who just swagger jacked wayne.

It sounds like you have misconceptions about Batman's character that you refuse to let go. He's Batman not Iron Man. He has to maintain a balance because there is more to his character besides being a genius unlike Iron Man. And your wrong about Batman's costume. It was established during Frank Miller's run that Bruce wears lightweight body armor under the cloth.

The thing is, Batman isn't supposed to be a high tech hero. He's a detective and a strategist, as I already said. He has a brain, and he knows how to build gadgets and stuff, but the more high end things like time machines and such, he isn't nearly capable of building.

That's not to say he isn't capable of outsmarting guys like Lex Luthor. One could argue strategic ability is far more valuable then technological.

If it wasn't for cyborg, batman would had been the tech guy despite not usually being this.

I kinda get what the OP is saying here.

I don't think anyone wants to see an Iron Man level of tech being used by Batman. But equally they could do with making sure that he at least has some top of the range military gear or cutting edge tech that can be used in the field on a fairly regular basis (unlike that massive Batsuit seen in Night of the Owls). I understand that Batman is a detective and strategist, but to have someone like Owl-Man (Lincoln March) with a higher level of equipment than him is pushing it a bit.

He;s actually really high tech in the New 52 but he isn't supposed to be like that.

Becuase using to much technology is for amateurs like Tony Stark.

he's like a freaking Iron man without the suit

BURN! Marvel BURN!

Military style high tech maybe but not a iron man type of high tech.

@LuigiBat: atleast you get it,but i like the new 52 tech batman...because he has a high tech contact lens people are mad.....he is supposed to be like that,he doesnt buy his gadgets and suit online,and one of the things batman does is toy around with technology,so the new 52 batman ACTUALLY makes sense,i like this new high tech batman,it fits him,and people,stop acting like his suit allows him to time travel or anything,and the big suit you saw was made for war,etc.....

it's just that this batman is rarely seen utilizing his tech feats,because that's batman,he's supposed to be that high tech,but not with lasers coming out of his gloves

also,batman was supposed to be high tech,it's part of him,i'm sure you all think that superman owns the watchtower and batman just found that computer and car and etc.........but anytime batman has the tech that actually FITS him and ones that he needs,people call him tony stark,honestly,wtf...if you want a batman that runs around in cloth and carries a gadget for anything,adam west is there for you,but i DEMAND HIGH TECH DAMMIT,good thing they actually have that in new 52..but i was just stating they need to show batman with more tech and artillery in his suit but i guess it's too early to demand that because it's too early (in comicbook terms)

The main point is that Batman DOES NOT WANT to use technology, or anyway, Bruce did not want to depend on it, not as Tony Stark. The level of technology Bruce is certainly very high, not to the levels of Star Trek, but at levels higher than military ones. Two good examples come from his suit Insider, OMAC and the latest Internet 3.0, which is basically a virtual reality. Of course Batman will never create a time portal, not a scientist like Reed Richards, but it is more than likely that he may bring out some new armor, vehicles, miniaturized instruments, computer systems and communications, ect. Since Batman is a genius, especially chemistry, forensic science and computer science, is well suited to a character like him, the development of new chemicals, analytical tools and espionage. Batman is unique, because yes, it is true that it is much more akin to Tony Stark that Reed Richards, but it is also fundamentally different from Tony. Batman does not tend to make use of heavy weapons. He will use them only if the situation is drammatic. In the end, everything depends on the authors. In the last issue of Detective Comics, Batman makes use of a device that protected him from radioactive rays. Honestly, I never thought that he had one installed in his belt. Concept clear?

agreed,but it's like some of these fans want a batman that runs around in a cloth suit,he cant hold everything in his belt so it has to have some things incorporated in his suit

I have a lot of stuff nobody knows about.

@Alexander505: like what

but did batman give batwing that suit..i also mean new 52

just asking because i heard somewhere he did

Batman is already high tech

• Batsuit: The costume Batman wears is composed by Kevlar and a little percentage of titanium; it's bullet-proof and resistant to various types of attack (explosions, impacts, falls, etc...). It's also flame-retarding and insulating. The gloves and the boots are reinforced to rebound the impact of punches and kicks. The gloves have also some metallic blades on their sides. The cape is super-light and it can be used to glide. The mask has a little percentage of lead, which shields the face of Batman from x-ray powers or x-ray technology; it has also an infrared viewer and auditory sensors, sonar, night vision,which improve Batman's senses. The mask, is also accessorized with some security systems (aggravating gas, electric blasts, etc.) like the utility belt. The mask is also a transmitter receiver de voice and video.

• Utility Belt: Batman keeps most of his personal field equipment in a signature piece of apparel, a yellow utility belt.The utility belt has a button to call the car in a few appearances on Justice League, the belt has a button teleportation. Over the years it has contained items such as plastic explosives, nerve toxins, batarangs, smoke bombs, a fingerprint kit, a cutting tool, a grappling hook gun, and a "re-breather" breathing device. Superman had entrusted Batman with a ring made of kryptonite, to be used should the Man of Steel ever need to be reined in (due to being mind-controlled by a villain, etc.).

The armor of the Batwing has designed Bruce, he is the chief designer. Later, we saw Lucius Fox update the suit.

@BigCimmerian: wai,did you say the belt has a teleporter...wtf?

@cameron83 said:

@BigCimmerian: wai,did you say the belt has a teleporter...wtf?

Yes, every Justice Leaguer has teleporter.

I remember his cowl, in Batman #3, has an in-built lie detector. Beyond that, I don't really remember much in the way of 'high tech'. 
 
NOPE, WAIT. That gigantic armor he had stashed away that he pulled on in Batman #9. Too bad it got trashed by the army of Talons.

Yes, the belt was also a button to teleport.

The armor of Batman # 9 was very cool, too bad that the Talons have destroyed soon after. Well, shows how the Talons were physically strong.

Well, I say it's a really cool technology. Surely the couple Capullo & Snyder will give us another interesting surprises.

I like Batman's current tech level. Its got style but its not a defining trait like Iron Man.

Yes, it's not like Iron Man, but it is not entirely accurate. We have seen that in years of reserve power armor. This appeared years ago, when Stephanie Brown was Robin.

still not enough tech feats (soon my plan to trick people into posting new 52 batman tech feat scans will be completed mwuhahahahhahahaahahah >:3 )

The thing is, Batman doesn't NEED super advanced tech. He uses martial arts, strategy, scare tactics, detective skills, etc. He doesn't use super-advanced technology because he doesn't want or need it.

ok,let me say this for the 4th time,he doesn't depend on it,but will it hurt...i'm not saying make his suit do all the fighting while you take a nap in it,or anything like that,but if he has a few missiles,how is that depending on his suit,if he has a scanner or lie detector in his suit for extra assurance,how does that really change anything...it's just assistance in a fight,or if his suit has a strength boost,it's exactly like saying,batman doesn't need to depend on kevlar,he is perfectly fine being able to dodge gunfire on his own...but batman does dodge most gunfire,it's just that kevlar is assistance/assurance.....also it's not like i said make batman insert nanobatbots in his skin,or anything like that,but batman is supposed to be high tech,but it's not a defining trait,saying he doesn't need it is somewhat stupid and underestimating his enemies

The main point is that Batman is not put in a position to use more technology to the choice of authors. Honestly, after seeing his Insider suit, I do not need more examples, to understand how its technology can be advanced and powerful.

@Alexander505: good point,but he just needs more weaponry and more technological feats,also those are just a few,i also want him to have his pre flashpoint feats....look on the old batman respect thread,he needs to have those feats as well,this new 52 one of him is REALLY weak,and as much as i hate to say it,green lantern is completely right,batman is useless

For now, Batman is useless in the JLA, it is true. That is true. It is not clear yet its role in the group. We will see.

Anyway, because is a master in strategy e tactics, is obvious that future role of Batman could be this.

Think about it this way, Batman doesn't do anything superfluously. He only uses something when he needs it. And since he is totally capable of beating up bad guys with his usual arsenal, he really doesn't need to upgrade. And he will upgrade if the situation arises. Like when fighting Mr. Freeze, or someone with super strength. Cause lets be honest it probably takes a lot more effort to bring a thug or robber or rapist down in an Iron Man like suit than his usual attire. So to sum everything up, Batman only does things if it has a purpose, nothing more nothing less.
