... 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.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

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