Thats not realistic writing. Applying some protective status to a character simply because people like him is the definition of pandering; plot armor, all sorts of things we generally view negatively.

Batman is plot armor personified. Why shouldn't he call upon it when it's his time to die?

He's the world's greatest martial artist -- mastering 127 styles -- because he had money and time to train. He's the world's greatest detective because he had money and time to train. He's the world's greatest costume designer because he had money and time to train. He's the world's greatest driver and pilot because he had money and time to train. He's the world's greatest inventor of gadgets because he had money and time to train. He possesses an encyclopedic/photographic memory of virtually all documented human knowledge because he had money and time to train. He can take robots, demons, aliens, beings with superhuman strength, and sometimes even gods in combat because he had money and time to train.

No super powers though. It's all money and training. Dude trained 744 hours a day since he was a youth. It could have been anybody in his position. We just didn't have enough time or money.
