A Lil History
Batman was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. It was initially created as a comic book superhero and first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), just well over a year after Superman.
Batman's secret identity is Bruce Wayne, which was played by Adam West in the early Batman television series, and later by Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Christian Bale in live-action movies.
Bruce Wayne's personal wealth is estimated at $6.8 billion, topping Lex Luthor and is the wealthiest man in DC Universe.

[There can be little doubt that the Batman is the most extensively trained and skilled personal combatant alive in the world today.
While others might excel and best him in individual areas, few others (with the possible exception of Lady Shiva) can match his martial prowess. But his skills go beyond this, his escapology skills are second only to Scott Free, he is a world level forensic scientist and strategist. On top of all of this is his main ability as the greatest living detective, having been trained by detective around the world in observation and deduction.
To boost his already matchless physical abilities he employs a number of weapons and gadgets such as custom boomerangs called Batarangs, smoke grenades, razor sharp throwing blades, lightweight grapnels, lock picks, the list goes on.
Most of this armory is stored in his Utility Belt or upon his person. He always tailors his arsenal depending on the threats that he might face. His actual costume is a combination Kevlar/Flameweave composite that is highly resistant to concessive force and fire, it also resistant to an extent of small arms fire. The cape itself serves as a prop so that it makes him more dramatic and therefore terrifying figure, it also helps that criminals often shoot for the huge visible mass of the cape rather than the smaller target of the actual Batman.
Transportation wise the Batman mainly relies on the Batmobile, a sleek black high-powered car, that is heavily armour plated and is capable of speeds up to 225 mph or 350 mph with an afterburner. Apart from the Batmobile Batman has also used various Batboats and aerial craft such as custom hand gliders, personal gyrocopters, helicopters and a specialized F4 known as the Batplane. He now only really used the Batplane when working with the League preferring to use the Batmobile in and around Gotham. ]
The weaknesses - Sourced from http://www.experiencefestival.com
[Being human, Batman doesn't have any unusual weaknesses (like Superman's vulnerability to kryptonite) but has character flaws that can be exploited by enemies.
In recent comics, Batman is shown as being vastly paranoid by nature and tends to not trust other heroes, even those he has known for years, like Superman. Some enemies have used this to isolate Batman and play games with him. Batman has also been portrayed as arrogant, treating many of his allies with various degrees of disrespect.
He also sometimes overestimates his own abilities and allows foes to take advantage of that. These traits have developed over the last few decades, and older portrayals of Batman usually tend to show him as more willing to work with others. Additionally, his childhood trauma makes him emotionally distant from even those allies closest to him, and a common theme among the younger heroes he often works with (Robin, Nightwing, Oracle, etc.) is how hard it is to gain his approval.]
