Personality[]
Unlike most modern incarnations, this Batman is an upstanding, beloved public figure, working side-by-side with law enforcement, with an unbreakable moral code, and a strict adherence to the law, no matter how insignificant.
Nearly every episode features Bruce giving some sort of lecture — usually to Dick, his legal ward — on the merits of an orderly society, and though he deplores criminality itself, he tries to hold out hope that the villains he fights will reform their ways. He also holds Robin and himself to complete, total adherence to the letter of the law, which is shown to not always be the most pragmatic thing to do (such as feeding the meter before entering a crime scene or refusing to contest a vehicular infraction, even if in both cases it would mean Catwoman got away). He is extremely moral with people breaking the law and although he was ready and willing to send criminals such as Joker, Penguin and Riddler to prison, he showed a sense of compassion for Catwoman who had a crush on him.
Equipment[]
Although Batman was a master of countless fighting styles, displayed an unfathomable understanding of advanced calculus, and was endowed with insightful wit and masterful cunning, from time to time the Caped Crusader had to rely on his self-made tools of the trade to see the day through.
Computer Hacker: He knows how to work his way around a computer.
Driving: When you have very advanced vehicles, you need advanced driving skills.
Electrical Engineering: He knows how to make gadgets and vehicles.
Advanced Combat: He is a very good fighter.

Batman’s iconic charade known as “The Batusi” became a viral meme.
Mostly in the series, they didn't explain how Dick Grayson became Robin and how he met Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth in the series. Just like Bruce Wayne, his parents were killed by a killer too, but it was never came up or explained.
