What OS does the Batcomputer use?

I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask but it’s the first that came to mind. I’m thinking it’s probably something completly custom that Bruce made but I like thinking that Batman is a Linux user. specify Arch

That release was batshit if you ask me.

But at least it was easy to launch from the command line using startup.bat.

Unfortunately it it probably Windows, just so he can run .bat scripts.

Perfect, Dad. Thank you.

I would guess the Batcave uses something proprietary based off of Wayne tech because he's very paranoid. I'd also imagine it integrates some watch tower tech which is likely mostly from Cyborg

A proprietary BSD derivative

Definitely some Palantir-level proprietary software.

No, he'd probably use something made by a reputable company.

I imagine at least one modern version of the origin of the Wayne family fortune is through the tech industry. So clearly it would run Wayne-dows.

The terminals maybe, but the server would be a Wayneframe.

Maybe at the office, but for real security in the batcave? He'd be on Waynux

It’s a Unix system. I know this.

Batocera surely?

Ahhhh, iirc, it's one he built himself.

It's actually come up in comics before, more than once if my mind isn't playing tricks.

I don't doubt that he would have at least taken lessons from open source type projects if Linux doesn't directly exist in the comic universe.

Either a custom "BatOS," or, more likely, something branded under WayneTech. Which, in my mind, either way would be a weird, unholy, but utterly fantastical combination of Linux, Windows and MacOS.

Because it's a comic book and would show off whatever element of those systems it needs to in the moment for exposition or a gag.

For the German speakers under us: Wayne interessierts...

(As an explanation: Wayne sounds very close to the German "wen", meaning roughly "who". So that's a common joke phrase in German and means "Who cares?")

Well, according to one really bad video game, it's a late 90s mac.

QNX. Batman does not abide service interruptions or system instability.

Nope, we can rule that out. Batman would have told us about it by now.
