Man, Dick Grayson is totally Hawtt Awesome. I just watched "Robin's Reconing" and was reminded of how great of a character he was even though he started off as kind of a lame side kick. Man, they really need to make a Nightwing show ^_^.
Another good thing to think about is that their costumes are not just apparent skin tight cloth with flashy designs and tights, but also functions as full body armor. Try to think of the more modern versions of superhero outfits we see in fiction and the media today. For that matter, recall Batman's suit in Batman Begins. I don't think it is too unrealistic... I do however agree that there is a fair amount of unrealism in it with various things they do.
Still most of the villains in Batman remain more grounded in science fiction than straight up fantasy, for example most of them are humans with severe mental problems, often times on the side of generous. Many are insane scientist, like Scarecrow who has taken an obsessive study of fear and fear based drugs. Two-Face is a case of major psychological damage and disassociate identity disorder mixed with the mind set of a mob criminal. Harle Quinn was a Psychiatrist at Arkam until the Joker got a hold of her and warped her mind. Even the more bizarre villains like Poison Ivy and Clayface are explained through Chemical Engineering.
Now if we look over at lets say Superman villains... Things just go out the window completely as they throw out super advanced alien civilizations, bizarre creatures from other dimensions, and at times even straight up magic.
