are making science gadgets for Batman? Like half of his poo poo is covered in bat logos. Do they sign some sort of NDA? I mean they have to obviously see some of this poo poo being used on the news and would connect the dots. Or at least that Bruce Wayne at a minimum is funding Batman.

Maybe they swap scientists every few months? That way not any one scientist sees a full project. But if that were the case they would be notorious in what their turnover rate is. Someone would get suspicious.

Batman hires undocumented foreign scientists and does everything off the books. When they are done he beats them into a coma, dresses them as thugs, and leaves them in the street for the police to collect.

Batman could probably capture some of his supergenius enemies and use them as slaves (as a form of 'rehabilitation') and it wouldn't even seem to out of character.

why doesnt the government give like Mad Hatter and Riddler and Mr Freeze and whoever a good job with a 7 figure salary to make cool poo poo? i'm sure they would stop doing crimes if they are rich and lazy. it has to cost that much to make fancy jails for them anyway

I'm pretty sure Mr freeze only commits crimes to fund his medical research to fix whatever his wife is dying from, so he definitely could be pacified pretty easily, while also solving a medical issue. Poison Ivy has a power that could achieve so much good that if she can't be forced to cooperate she should be dissected for research purposes. Riddler could be tricked into solving maths problems and crunching complex data by presenting it as a challenge from batman. But I'll bet batman would pay the government not to utilise them though because they are the villain characters in the hero LARP he must maintain to avoid addressing his issues.

I want a batcave origin story, with Wayne down there trying to pour concrete and secure steel beams to the cave walls. And then running all the wiring. And then realizing he's got to take a piss.

When you said Batcave origin story I thought you meant the story of his father Thomas choosing to build a mansion on unstable ground and having to get contractors to overlook obvious safety issues to proceed with building, and then him thinking, "Hmmm, I wonder if my son will ever truly appreciate the cave system beneath this mansion..." as a godawful way of shoehorning some sort of explanation in to the Batman story.

Why has an artist not done this side of the origin story?

Batman probably commissions a lot of individual parts from a bunch of factories and has them shipped to Morgan Freeman's lab so he can put it all together
