As far as I'm aware, he's the only member of the Justice League (apart from Oliver Queen) that doesn't have any super powers, instead he uses his wit, strategy, intelligence and technology to get the job done.

However, if Batman were to have powers (other than the ability to drink blood or turn in to a Bat - lets try to be credible here) what powers would you imagine him to have?

The obvious one is enhanced strength, but otherwise...

Batman's superpower is his money.

You mean being a master marksman doesn't count as a super power? After all, nobody doubts Clint Barton's powers.

His chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... his two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... His three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the memory of his parents.... His four...no... amongst his weapons.... amongst his weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise....
Joshing aside, it is his obsessive nature that makes Bruce Wayne the Batman.
Out of all the superheroes you might have heard of, he is the one of the few that has no special powers at all.

He'd be lame.

Of course he's still a total fantasy. He has tons of money, which already gives him a leg up from almost anyone else. He's apparently a genius in a number of areas. He must heal pretty quick, or he'd constantly be in traction. He wears armour in many versions, but apparently doesn't have problems hauling around the weight of it. He's a master of many martial arts. He's SO paranoid he actually manages to emulate powers (sort of) because it means he's prepared, like magic, for almost anything.

So... even without "superpowers" he's already got abilities that are straight fantasy, stem to stern. Why would he NEED any more?

I understand your reason behind the question but to me if Batman had powers then he wouldn't be Batman as it was remove his whole reason for being a superhero and also rewrite his whole origin story!

Basically this. Any problem he just throws a ton of money at it, and beats it with technology. And as Arthur C Clarke said, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, so basically he already has a super power - wallet magic.
