Physical: Batman, while the epitome of the “Badass Normal” trope, is still a human being. Sure, he may be in peak condition and can take injuries or punishment better than a normal person. But he is still human, and lives with all the physical drawbacks associated it. In the Animated Series, he suffered temporary blindness from an explosion, been poisoned or gassed several times, suffered concussions, and strained limbs. Though he usually recovers from injuries with great speed, he can still be brought down with lethal weapons.
Mental: …Virtually none. Batman’s mind is shown as virtually unbeatable. When Dr. Destiny enslaved the minds of most of the Justice League, Batman resisted the effects by refusing to sleep. And then, he confronted Dr. Destiny directly, when his mental powers were actually stronger after been awake for three straight days. Dr. Destiny was unable to break into his mind. Short of being incapacitated and then having his mind read, it’s very difficult to crack into the mind of the Dark Knight.
Emotional: Above all, the death of his parents haunts him to this very day. He is worried that his parents would not be proud of what he has chosen to do, as well. Though he never vocalizes these fears, they are usually the very first thing that haunts him when he is under the effect of Scarecrow’s fear toxins. His other demon is his failure to save former Gotham DA Harvey Dent from his fate in becoming the villain Two-Face. Other than these demons occasionally haunting him, Batman has few emotional weaknesses. The only sure way to provoke his wrath is to hurt someone he cares about, or do terrible things to children. The Sewer King’s enslavement of forsaken children was the time Batman came closest to breaking his rule about passing his own judgment over that of the law.

First Person: Not knowing how I ended up here is disturbing. Knowing that the people keeping everyone in this village have no idea how we end up here is worse. No one has control of this situation. Not yet. But that won’t stop me. Nothing will stop me from getting back to Gotham.
But what I’ve read in these journals gives me pause. There is plenty of danger here, even if most people are unaware of it. Guess it’s not unlike home in that way. I have already set up here. There are still some supplies I want, but for now what I have in the cave should be sufficient.
…These may not be the people of Gotham, but I’ll do whatever it takes to protect them. And as I look down upon this village in the dead silent of night, unseen by its inhabitants, my path remains as clear as it ever has been.
I will bring fear to the hearts of those who would inflict it on others. I will bring those who break the law and terrorize the innocent to justice. And I will not rest until everyone here is safe and returned home.
I am Batman.
Third Person:
The wind blew through the dead silence, gently tousling the cape of a shrouded figure standing atop Community Housing Six. The village would normally be tough to see at night, but the candles lit in some places throughout town gave him enough to see where everything was.
So far, he had spent the past several days out of sight of the village. Without so much as being detected he was able to recover everything of his and find a temporary spot to rest in an empty room on this building. With plenty of time on his hands, he had spent it researching the inhabitants here through the journals. Though with the more… interesting individuals, he preferred field research. It was nothing more than observation at this point. But it was informative. Before too long he would be ready to announce his presence.
Batman kneeled down at the edge of the building and looked out into the distance. His position gave him the appearance of a gargoyle, stoically standing guard against evil spirits. Though motionless, much ran through his keen mind. Foremost, the existence of Clark Kent here troubled him deeply. If Superman was captured and brought here by the Malnosso, their power might be insurmountable directly. But all powers, even those of the Man of Steel, could be circumvented with the right preparation. Such preparation was made more difficult without the Batcave or much of his equipment, however. Not that it was impossible. Nothing was. Though he hadn’t been able to make a trip out to the barrier yet, but Batman knew that it would be pointless. He knew others had recently attempted it, but nothing came of it. He would like to analyze the energy field directly, but without use of his supercomputer, he wouldn’t be able to deduce just how the barrier was made anyway. For now, that’ll just have to wait.
…He rose to his feet and frowned deeply. It was time to set up a meeting with Clark.
