[Joker]

Batman only knows 2 languages, English and Ass Kicking, and he only needs one of them

 

[Nightwing 52]

They are: English, French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Filipino, Korean, Arabic, Turkish, Polish, German, Latin, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew, Thai, Vietnamese, Kryptonian, Swedish, and Swahili.

Esperanto as well. Though, according to some reports, more people can speak Klingon than Esperanto. So Klingon would be one of them, and Khund, a smattering of Tamaranean.

The ones above can be confirmed like so:

French for his dealings with Henri Ducard.

Spanish, since it's a second language for many and a mother tongue for at least as many in select Gotham neighborhoods.

Japanese/Nihongo, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese to varying degrees because of some of the martial arts instructors he engaged prior to becoming Batman. Specifically of Kirigi, Tsunetomo, Chu Chin Li, among others.

Russian from his battles with the KGBeast, NKVDemon and assorted Little Odessa organizatsiya mobs.

At least one, possibly more, Kryptonian languages, thanks to Superman's introductory tutoring.

Two dialects of Greek(modern and Themiscyran) for dealing with Wonder Woman.

Portuguese, partly thanks to Fire during the JLI era of the League. As an intelligence operative in Brazilian service, she'd have to be fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish, at minimum, no matter what she spoke growing up in Rio.

Hebrew and Arabic, from "Legerdemain" in Suicide Squad.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET. Thanks, Bats.

I had no idea Portuguese was one of them.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Batman's Portuguese is "clipped but adequate". Per Batman #472.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Wow, Batman has quite a tongue.

 

[Qoèlet]

He did speak German in "Gothic" but had a little bit of trouble with it, quickly switching to English once he realized the German Abbot could speak the language.

 

[The Leaguer]

He loves talking in leet-speak, much to Tim's and Barbara's delight.

 

[JLBats]

He loves talking in leet-speak, much to Tim's and Barbara's delight.

Yeah, I was going to say. The important question here is, does he speak the varied and colourful languages of the Intraweb?

 

[LinternaVerde]
