You seem to be avoiding the things I said.
Batman's martial arts go way beyond what humans are actually capable of. I mean, have you actually seen the guy in action? Perhaps I should give examples. The guy can jump, from a standing position, over a story high. He can actually fight ROBOTS without breaking his hands and feet. He seems to be able to recover from pretty much any injury. He is somehow able to decipher passwords instantaneously just by looking at a brief flash of machine code on a computer screen. He can wall jump up buildings in an alleyway. He seems to be able to instantly disappear from a building without making noise.
His "gadgets" are impossible to make in the real world. That bomb that can freeze lake size masses of water instantly. Those various gas grenades on that belt that have all sorts of nigh-magical effects besides that. The grappling hook that is able to shoot higher than a skyscrapper and with enough force to penetrate concrete, but the recoil is almost nonexistant. A cape able to resist thousands of degrees of flame.
Your list, alone, isn't saying much. It's the details.
I mean, I could describe Super Man the same way. So he can jump, he can run fast, he can fight people, and he can see things. That's somehow "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)
