The luck of the Gods, because you have to be lucky all the time, though one of your opponents has to be lucky just once. Personally, I suspect that even with all those devices and the Bruce Wayne fortune 18 months would be considered a very long career for a vigilante thug in a spandex catsuit.
I've always thought it difficult to see what non-magic superheroes could actually do to fight crime (rather than causing it). Who tells them that Baron von Evil and Bill Sykes are going to hold up Barclay's? Hanging round dodgy areas picking on people they didn't like the look of sounds more likely.
BTW, a rocket jetpack would be very you - can just imagine you using it to zap on to the terrace with something that had been left downstairs.
