First: Can the class be magical? (Batman isn't, but then again, you didn't say you were making the actual Batman character, but instead a similar concept. )
Yes: Many of the previously mentioned. Vengeance paladin with a dex build. Shadow monk. Bladesinger wizard. Basically any stealth build for that sneaky sneak.
No: Rogue, monk (flavored to be as low magic as possible), artificer.
My personal input: What about re-flavoring the monk to use gadgets instead of "KI"? They can be completely RP/flavor without any mechanical changes. KI empowered strikes are just parts of the armor that deal special damage. The armor is visually an "armor", but game-mechanically it's what gives you your monk AC. You could be any subclass and still turn it into gadgets. If you are worried about losing the armor and therefore your class abilities, then make it a magic item that can't be removed against your will. Like maybe a ring or bracelet that can be pressed and it turns into your "Bat suit"

You may be right about artificer, I think artificer more fits Lucius Fox, but it still allows for the gadgets
