Was Lego Batman the only Batman with a seemingly sentient computer? - Batman Logo

I don't recall other incarnations of Batman owning an AI computer.

Was Batman's computer in the movie, Lego Batman the only one of its kind?

Let's define "seemingly sentient" as meaning "able to understand spoken language."



Best Answer

The Batcomputer (understands spoken language, programmed personality)

Your comments clarified that you considered artificial intelligence to mean "able to understand spoken language". The most famous Batman computer that does this is the Batcomputer. While in the Adam West Batman series, it worked off of punch cards, more modern incarnations use speech recognition and are programmed to have a personality. For instance, it snarkily replies to Batman's spoken requests in the 2013 TV series Beware the Batman.

Batcomp (full self-awareness and sentience)

The 1990 comic miniseries Batman: Digital Justice, set at the end of the 21st century, shows a completely self-aware and sentient (i.e. capable of feeling) computer that was programmed by the late Bruce Wayne. This version is far more advanced than any portrayal of the Batcomputer and is more or less human, aside from what it is made out of. Batman also fights against a completely sentient computer virus created by the Joker.

Daring to explore the tormented mind of Batman thoughtfully lends a surprisingly effective heart to a wacky comedy. It's also fun to see such dynamic camerawork and editing whenever it's time for this version of Batman to rumble with his foes.
