... when the BatComputer's power supply shorts out with a bang and leaves him in a dark, powerless BatCave?
He would probably say some politically uncorrect things while he stumbles around in the dark to find the fuse box. Then he would order a new power supply and hope for the best (that the BatComputer just comes back to life) and expect the worst (that the power supply supplied each and every component of the BatComputer with 200 kV in its last moment).
Despite the snail service's best efforts to prevent it, I got my new power supply yesterday and ripped the old power supply out of the WraithComputer and put in the new one. Which would it be? Silence and a blank screen? Undead BIOS/Win7 waking up? Something weird inbetween?
Pushed the power button. Silence. Blank screen. No noise like a starting jet engine. For a few seconds, then a merry beep and the BIOS started to Basically Inputting and Outputting Stuff, Win7 wailed a little about my new configuration (I changed the power supply, how does it know that?). Looks like the old power supply did a good job protecting the computer from itself in its last moments.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

 Seriously! Had a different image of Batman altogether. Something like making sure he own the electricity company (buys if he doesn't) and have multiple backups in place such that no dark-dark batcave.
Further, wouldn't he have some techno gadget up his sleeve to light up the place if he really wants to?

Maybe he just waits in the dark until Alfred has done the stumbling and put the fuse back in.

That's because I used to read MAD magazine when I was much younger. Too bad I did not find the one where the BatToilet was sucking in Batman's cape, but this one is also good: Snap PloobaDoof[^]

Bruce is so rich, he probably has a back-up Bat Cave below his main one.

Good idea, but it would not work for me. The WraithMobile is parked right underneath the WraithComputer.

Whilst waiting, he'd eat his midday meal each day for the next eight days, whilst singing his signature tune ...

So basically, "Batman" was a click-bait. :facepalm:

Nah. I just wanted to distract from what evil things I said when i stumbled through the dark and was loking for the fuse box.

He'd take his BatTorch from his BatBelt, find his BatUPS and work out why BatRobin un BatPlugged it.

If he put more effort into naming his sidekicks, he may have already had a BatTerry nearby for when this situation occurs.

You have to remember that Robins are replaceable: why else would they be dressed in a brightly coloured "here I am!" uniform?

It's not the power supply you deserve, but the power supply you need.

He's Batman for goodness sake, he should be able to navigate fine in the dark.

He would have three in storage.
