No, the beginning Batman concept had none of these. Batman was just a stupid vigilanete jumping across rooftopss and plowing criminals in the face. The only reason he's called Batman is cos of his stupid bat outfit.

Here's an excerpt of how the creation of Batman came about:
Collaborator Bill Finger recalled that "Kane had an idea for a character called 'Batman,' and he'd like me to see the drawings. I went over to Kane's, and he had drawn a character who looked very much like Superman with kind of ... reddish tights, I believe, with boots ... no gloves, no gauntlets ... with a small domino mask, swinging on a rope. He had two stiff wings that were sticking out, looking like bat wings. And under it was a big sign ... BATMAN".
....
Finger suggested giving the character a cowl instead of a simple domino mask, a cape instead of wings, and gloves; he also recommended removing the red sections from the original costume

Bob Kane is still credited as creator of Batman even though the Batman he came up with was actually the most uninspiring unoriginal piece of fictional s**** ever created. Literally a ripoff from Superman.

It's like taking a scribbly child's drawing then trying to make it look cool and stuff over the decades. Sure you can do that. But the core essence of that child's drawing remains: dumb and stupid.

Oh well you didnt make it clear you where only talking about the old batman when referencing his characteristics.

Characters evolve though. Thats how they stay relevant.
