3d data of the surroundings could be also obtained with a portable sound-to-3d sonar system.. not sure if such exists yet but it would be a cool thing to connect to your device for enhanced bat-sight.

I think he must not have gotten the sonar parts in his half bat bits.

He did have the help of one particular Magical Negro [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagicalNegro]
