In that case a shorter response for you 🙂
For one, Batman wouldn't accept most of those upgrades based on his character traits.
Secondly, he already has access to over half of them (almost all of them, actually) in the form of analogues (e.g., he may not have a 'healing touch elixir,' but he has access to Lazarus Pit whcih is, in essence, a HIGH LEVEL 'healing touch elixir' only that you don't drink it but submerge yourself in it (once even had one in the BC), he has easy access to Venom if he wanted to (can replicate it), his accuracy is at 100% (an extra 10% on top of that is like adding a spare tire to a Ferrari Enzo), etc etc etc.
Thirdly there are other characters who would not only benefit more from the above list, but would actually be more than willing to use it.
E.g.: Take Captain America's Super-soldier Serum. Say Batman was offered ....would he drink it?
Simple answer: No.
Why?
Because the major advantage it would give him is unending endurance (he would no longer build up fatigue poisons, thus he would never get tired). Already Batman is able to go on for a long time without tiring, but KnightFall did show that it is possible to take the guy on for so long that he starts breaking down physically and mentally (although, to Batman's credit, what Bane did went on for a number of weeks). Captain America would have been largely immune to such an approach.
However, all the other advantages that would be brought about by the SSS would be largely useless ....because bruce ALREADY has them.
Thus in such a case there would be others who would benefit far more from the above serum.
Same thing with this thread. People like the Huntress in DC and Black Widow in Marvel would benefit far more from Gecko's list than people like Batman.

I read your post when it was first written... 😮Otherwise I don't think I would have known your post was about Batman.
Uhm ....I was not talking about that. The shorter response part of the comment was in response to the 'long winded post' comment.
I was not taking a rub at you.
