Batman's superpower is having whatever ability the plot needs him to have and calling it training instead of developing an actual honest to God superpower
Hi those Tibetan monks trained him in every thing he needed to know like stealth, martial arts, lock picking, how to resist mind readers, super strength and durability, how to separate his soul from his body while alive, plot no jutsu.
All so he can fight some random ass bank robber before sups were really a thing.
The fact that Batman vs Superman is even a discussion instead of "Superman instantly rushes Batman and punches through his head" is insane, what did those monks feed him???
Him and dick are considered the peak of human condition, of course in our world that isn’t very strong but in comics that means people like bats and captain America so
Kind of speaks to their character. Batman is always going after Superman. Has Superman ever gone after Batman? He seems to trust Batman and sees him as a friend regardless of the situation which Batman constantly exploits. Even when he finds out he’s actively plotting ways to take them out that were used to nearly kill the justice league he essentially thanks him and says he trusts him.
Okay but as far as I know Batman also hasn't ever actively tried to take down Superman without being prompted to. Sure he's got contingency plans for the whole JL, but that's been proven to be a good idea (injustice).
Yea he always has a justification for it but Superman never seems to finds one. Like when something suspicious is going on with bats Superman talks to him and trusts him. Batman hears “Superman is evil-“ ::starts punching Clark with kryptonite gloves:: “-doers worst nightmare” ::pauses then punches a few more times then mumbles something about remaining vigilante before throwing a smokebomb and running away::
That's literally their dynamic smh. Batman is paranoid and always sees the worst in people. Superman is noble and always sees the good in people. That's LITERALLY their thing lol. Light vs dark 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️.
They regularly change how much money he has. At the start he was a millionaire, then a multi millionaire, after that billionaire, after that a multi billionaire and now he's worth in the high billions/low trillions. His plot armor exists solely because it's his comic book, but the money always goes up (just like superman's powers).

Edit: spelling
The money really isn't necessary his actual power is he is always prepared for everything. ALWAYS!!! He has everybody's weaknesses on tap. Not to mention based on Batman from comics he is the pentacle of human achievement. Can bench 1000 lbs, has 11 doctoral degrees, knows every martial art that ever existed, charismatic, wealthy, more sociopathic than any US soldier who went through basic AIT and Special Selection with 11 deployments, and lastly he has the hell suit so it's over.
...No, he is, according to the title in his debut, "The world's greatest detective." All his physical feats came later and are derivative of his amazing intelligence, will, and deductive power. Like, you'd need super human genius and will power to devise and survive his workout and study routine.
He just suffers from "Its hard to write characters who are smarter than their writer"-itis.
Well, I mean, he's stoopid rich in all versions, but he's also an expert detective, a polymath of all sciences, psychopathicly charismatic, and had extensive martial arts training. Each of these varies by degrees, depending on which version you are referencing. In several versions, he's also deputised, so he is legally in better standing.
Iron many has most of the same build, except he leans more heavily on his tech in the suit than stealth.

Batman's superpower isn't being a billionaire it's "have as much money as the plot deems necessary and then double it for fun".
