Don't forget though that he did take Venom* in that miniseries. Yes boys and girls Batman took drugs to help him become even more effective at crime fighting. If there had been no evil-purposefully-added-side-effects he'd probably be popping pills to this day. In Batman Beyond he actually had two suits, one was a large IronMan-esque suit that he discarded in favor of the normal BB suit because it put too much strain on his heart (ironically Tony Stark's suit saved his heart...hehe IRONically ah man).
Here's a problem I've always had; Batman is a fanatic, he's loony tunes about fighting crime. He'd take ANY advantage he could get, like the Venom he took. If there was someway he could augment himself without interfering with Bruce Wayne's "face" qualities, or decreasing his intellect, you better believe he's there. He's a guy who's forced himself through the most grueling training the world had to offer just to be the best in a time where there was no overt human enhancement such as 'ware.
*Venom eventually became the chemical the Batman villain Bane regularly uses to be a pumped out roid freak with super strength.

im guessing your refering to kingdom come with "that miniseries".
been a while since i read it, so i dont recall if venom was used or not.
also, bane basically introduced venom to the world, long before the supposed events of kingdom come. so the word eventually is somewhat misplaced...
