Okay this is a little plot bunny that just kept hopping around in my brain so here you go. It's a question that I've been asking myself forever. Thank Skittlesrock1993 if you like this story. We both thought it up together so I can't take full credit.

Why Batman Never Gets Hurt chapter 1: The Battle That Started It All
A crash echoed through the empty streets of New York as an SUV was launched through the large glass window of a convenience store. Shouts and ear shattering booms followed the SUV as a giant robot rounded the corner of the street.
New York was one of the largest cities in the world and notorious for attracting crime. The Justice League had received a call that Lex Luthor had once again escaped from prison and had once again formed a team of supervillans to fight against the Justice League.
The team consisted of Black Manta, Joker, Shade, Cheetah, and Scarecrow. Clark was currently battering Manta's robot, Diana was taking care of Shade, J'onn was fighting Joker, much to Batman's dismay, and Shayera and Green Lantern were tag teaming against Scarecrow, while Batman fought Cheetah. Showing an amazing amount of agility and cunning while doing it.
Cheetah released a feral snarl as Batman neared her. Her legs coiled and sprung as she flipped onto the building behind her and began scaling it with the use of her claws. Batman donned his own climbing claws and chased after her.
"Where's Bats?" Flash asked as he zipped onto to the scene. It had been his job to locate Lex and take him out fast. Apparently that job was done.
"Up there." Superman pointed towards a nearby twelve story building. Superman had finished off Black Manta and flown him out before the robot exploded. He had him by the back of his costume now.
"Is he crazy?"
By now almost everyone had been taken down the only ones left were Joker and Scarecrow. Superman and Flash stared at the scene in front of them. They watched as Batman caught up with her and grabbed her ankle. She kicked him in the face and he lost his grip dragging her down with him.
"We gonna help him?" Wally asked
"I'm pretty sure he can handle this." Clark responded.
Their eyes grew large as the two fell still fighting. Batman's cape flapping and concealing most of the battle as the two fell. Bruce's arm suddenly shot out and caught the edge of the building. Cheetah caught herself and began leaping towards the top with Batman mere inches behind her.
Scarecrow was soon down and everyone teamed up to take out Joker. The battle lasted for a short time before he was down as well. Soon everyone's attention was drawn to Batman's battle that had made its way to the roof of the twelve story building.
"I'm going to have tease him about taking so long." Flash chuckled.
They watched as Batman leapt around the rooftop followed closely by Cheetah. He turned and landed a kick to her chest. She snarled angrily and struck him, claws extended. He dodged and she hit the ventilation shaft sending a flurry of sparks flying egnighting Batman's cape. Everyone on the ground tensed but then relaxed as he threw it away.
Batman dodged blow after blow unknowingly making his way towards the edge of the roof. The rest happened so fast that no one realized what happened until it was too late. Batman was pressed against the edge, he was caught off guard and began to lose his balance, one last blow from Cheetah sent him toppling over the edge.
They waited for him to swing back up using one of his cables but he never did. It was then that they noticed the yellow strip that Cheetah was holding. Batman's utility belt.
Clark shot up and flew around to the other end of the building as fast as he could with the intent of catching Bruce before he hit the ground but that was not the case. He came around the corner just in time to see his friend hit the stony sidewalk.
He hovered above Batman too shocked and upset to move. He looked down at his friend and his mind took in all the details of Batman's body.
His mask was off revealing two glassy eyes staring blankly ahead. His head was twisted in an awkward position while his lower body was twisted around backwards. His wrist was folded in half while his right leg more resembled a broken fortune cookie than an appendage. A small metal pole had impaled the left side of his chest leaving blood pooling out from him and dripping onto the cement. There was a small crater of cracked cement where he had landed.
Clark couldn't look at him one more second and turned away. He was about to fly back to the rest of the team when a crunch reached his ears.
He looked back down to see Bruce snap his neck back into place rolling it around and jolting it from side to side as the bones set back in place. Clark's eyes grew wide as Bruce sat up freeing himself of the pole that had impaled his chest. He rolled, grabbed his hips and twisted his lower half back into place, more crunches were heard as he did this. He grabbed his wrist and jerked it back and straightened it out.
He leaned down to his legs and began twisting it. Various crunches and pops were heard and after this was done he stood up. Supporting himself on his right leg. As soon as he put weight on his left it snapped in half with a sickening wet crunch as the bone pierced his flesh he winced and fell over.
He grabbed the leg once again and twisted it sharply to the left. Hitting it to make sure it set right then got up. It was then that he looked up and spotted Clark who was so shocked that he fell from the sky and landed with an awkward crash in front of Batman.
He stood up and threw a glare in Batman's direction whose look of surprise changed to his famous Bat glare that made Clark want to run for cover.
"We need to talk." He ordered darkly.
He wrapped his cape around himself to cover up the hole in his suit and walked away without a scratch. Fell off a twelve story building and walked away without one tiny mark or bruise.
