There're some things I've started wondering about with Batman. First of all, his batcave. I imagine it needs to be renovated now and then. I mean, all that heavy screeching with the Batmobile in there, and it being in a cave and all... But, how does he do that? He can't exactly put an online ad looking for contractors.
Also, the batmobile. He's got to refuel it from time to time. So how come nobody's seen him at a gas station?
Thirdly, how come there's never traffic in Gotham City? He can just race all over the town without squashing any pedestrians, no traffic jams, no red lights, nothing. Sometimes there's the dramatically-timed truck that crosses or such, but that's it. It's almost as if Gotham's a ghost town!
Fourthly, how come the cops have never made a barricade to block that street racing fool's passage, to take his driver's licence away, along with his car?
I've never seen him drive out by day, only by night (which might explain the traffic jam issue. Dunno how it works in American metropoles. Are there nightly traffic jams in Manhattan, for example?). As he only drives out by night, I guess he's constantly out of gas, due to the lack of sun to provide solar energy.
The batmobile can't be solar powered, or at least the older iterations can't, due to what appears to be a propulsion system similar to a jet engine on the rear. I don't think he'd need to fuel it up at a gas station though, I mean, he's a multi-billionaire so nobody should really bat an eye if he decides he wants to have a tanker deliver gas directly to an underground tank at the mansion so he can fuel up there.
As far as the bat cave goes, I'd assume he does the renovations himself since we don't really see him out and about much during the day.
And for the traffic issue, I'd imagine such a rich and powerful man would have access to the traffic cameras and could have built a system into the batmobile to show him where traffic is heavy so he can avoid it. Something similar to how higher end GPS units work, but more accurate because it can use both GPS satellites and traffic cameras. Alternatively, he could just use one of those devices that let you change the traffic lights. Highly illegal, yes, but he's Batman. Why should he care about illegal?

Gotham is dangerous, no one should be traveling out at night. That's how his parents bit the bullet. In fact they should probably stay in during the day as well.
Bats has GPS and he probably has jumpy things like Speed Racer has in the Mach 5, so in the event of a barricade he can hop over. Besides he's doing their jobs, for free, why would they want to stop him.
This was actually more difficult than I thought it would be; people love filming random signs and buildings.
