I fully respect going the class route for Batman, but if anyone is curious I did do a monster write up for batman a long while ago:

Stat the Bat

Spoiler

Batman vs “Batman with Prep”: The saying goes that Batman can basically beat anyone if you give him enough prep time. I think the best way to handle this is effectively stat out two “forms” for the Bat. In his first form we will make him the peak of mortal power, but still weak compared to many other leaguers. Then we will give him an epic boost if he has time to prepare, allowing him to challenge and even beat other members of the league.

CR: 20 for Base Batman...

Hey

What class would Batman be? Specifically Christian Bale version? Is Paladin fitting?

The Christian Bale version specifically learned his techniques from Liam Neeson’s Ra's Al Ghul (the world’s most Irish ninja). So, my first thought would be a Way of Shadows monk. Fighting unarmed also works well, since Bale’s Batman consistently keeps to the no guns rule, which I could see translating to no weapons in a D&D context. People will point to Artificer due to his gadget use, but he doesn’t actually make the gadgets himself, Lucius Fox does; Batman just uses them.
