Does Batman just leave them on the streets after a fight? Pay someone to find them for him? Or maybe the citizens of Gotham happily retrieve them because they make good collector's items and sell for a high price?

For someone who chooses not to kill, he sure is comfy with just lopping around sharp shurikens like nothing >_>

Batman sends a 'magnet mobile' drone to pick them up right before sunrise

There is a whole market with bootleg batarangs being sold to collectors that believes it is the real deal.
GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC

In the DCAU, Tim Drake manages to retrieve one and teaches himself to use one before he becomes Robin. So presumably Batman doesn't keep track of them there.

And there's apparently an issue of Teen Titans where Tim also says he was able to hide the cost of shipping a Batmobile across the country in the batarang budget which is "larger than you would think" so he might not do it in the comics either.

If I were writing it, I'd go with the idea that he'll retrieve them when he can and he has some kind of web trawler that picks up people selling them and buys them under the guise of an anonymous collector.

The web dissolves.

Hasn't it already been addressed many times that Spidey's webs break down on their own after a few hours and just dissolve away

I actually did wonder this and why his webs didn't litter the streets, but yeah, they dissolve :<

They come right back to him just like a regular boomerang. They just don't bother to show that part
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

The food here is terrible. My steak was so tough it attacked my coffee and the coffee was too weak to defend itself.

I wouldn't be surprised if he purposely leaves them in the street next to the blood stains of his victims to, "deter crime"

There's probably also a large secondhand market for collectors. I'm sure the police probably pick them up pretty often too.

They disintegrate after several hours, it is stated pretty frequently.

I wonder if somebody could do a metallurgical analysis and tie it to Wayne's supplier.
