The Batcomputer is a supercomputer, whose specs are on par with any of those used by leading national security agencies, that permits global surveillance and also connects to a massive information network as well as storing vast amounts of information, both on his foes and his allies. A series of satellite link-ups allows easy access to Batman's information network anywhere in the globe. The smart-systems are protected against unauthorized access, and any attempts to breach this security immediately sends an alert to Batman or Barbara Gordon. Despite the power of Batman's computers, the Justice League Watchtower is known to have more powerful computers (composed of Kyptonian, Thanagarian and Martian technology), and Batman does occasionally use them if he feels his computers are not up to the task.

The Batcompter is situated atop a rock ledge on the main level of the Batcave, the island platform has been upgraded to permit speedy access to Batman's copious criminal files. Holographic displays provide three-dimensional imaging of various rogues, while a retractable glass map features detailed diagrams of New Gotham, as well as archival maps of the ruined city beneath.
