Why does he not use (a weaker version of) Scarecrow's fear gas? It seems like it could be useful in his war on crime.
Which is more effective? the fear that is artificial and drug laced or the fear that feels as real as possible?
Why does he not use Mr. Freeze's cryogenic chemicals and gadgets?
He kinda does sometimes. Arkham City and that one episode of Justice League are good examples.
Why does he not use Poison Ivy's plants to create immunities for himself or plant-based weaponry for combat?
He likely does study the plant stuff for immunities but plant weapons might mess with his aesthetic.
Why does he not use Firefly's jetpack?
In 70 years has the character not used a jetpack?
Why does he not base his vehicles on the vehicles that Gearhead drives?
Don't know that character.
Etc. Etc. Etc.?
Also, why does he not use his Bat-summoning device from Batman: Year One more often?
Because Batman is a swell guy and doesn't want to collapse the medical industry on a bat bite bubble.
Also a lot of these things while not "technically" supernatural/super is such a stretch technology or aesthetic wise that it wouldn't serve the character very well to say that he's only human and then spring a giant magical venus fly trap that shoots ice from its mouth.
Not to say that Batman shouldn't interact with that stuff just not become it.
