Well, genetic abilities aren't the only things considered "super powers". Basically, anything that people in the real world can't do is considered "super". So, Daredevil, for example, while a "normal man" in that world, has trained to a level that is pretty much impossible for anyone in our world. That's why we find him interesting, and hence, he's super.
Batman has done the same level of training. More than that though, there's that utility belt. Those tools aren't just expensive, a number of them are pretty much impossible to make in our world. For example, a bomb that instantly freezes an entire river. Hence, I consider Batman to be super in the same sense I would consider Cyborg to be super.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
