According to Batman Begins, is batman a Ninja?

[adrienne224]

..seemed like he was being trained by Ninjas, so is batman really a Ninja? ..and has he ever used a sword in any of the comics?

Remember...Batman is everything because he's trained in everything to perfection.

Because he's Batman.

Well origin league of assassin is either middle east or Tibet (not sure ) and they wear black, use magic and jump around in night so they are nothing like ninjas. Actual ones I mean.

Batman's not only a ninja, but he's also a scientist as well.

Spoiler:

At age 14, Bruce Wayne began his global sojourn, attending courses at Cambridge, the Sorbonne, and other European universities. However, he never stayed long and would often drop out after one semester. Beyond academia, Wayne successfully acquired various "practical" skills. While abroad, he studied and received training in multiple martial arts under various instructors and in different countries, man-hunting under Frenchman Henri Ducard,[4] stealth and reconnaissance under the Japanese ninja Kirigi[5] and other certified shinobi, hunting under the African Bushman (the Ghost Tribes of the Ten-Eyed Brotherhood, among others), hand-to hand combat under the tutelage of Ted Grant, a World Champion Boxer and David Cain, one of the world's premier assassins;[6][7] traditional healing disciplines under Nepalese monks and even ventriloquism under skilled practitioners [8]. Bruce was also trained in archery by Oliver Queen.[9] At the age of 17, Bruce was trained by detective Harvey Harris to improve his detective skills.[10] At age 20, he attempted to join the FBI, but after learning about its regulations and conduct, Wayne deducted that he would never be able to completely oppose crime while working within the legal system.

Skills and training

Batman has no inherent superhuman powers; he relies on "his own scientific knowledge, detective skills, and athletic prowess".[32] Batman's inexhaustible wealth gives him access to advanced technologies, and as a proficient scientist, he is able to use and modify these technologies to his advantage. In the stories, Batman is regarded as one of the world's greatest detectives, if not the world's greatest crime solver.[93] Batman has been repeatedly described as having a genius-level intellect, being one of the greatest martial artists in the DC Universe, and having peak human physical conditioning.[94] As a polymath, his knowledge and expertise in countless disciplines is nearly unparalleled by any other character in the DC Universe.[95] He has traveled the world acquiring the skills needed to aid him in his endeavors as Batman. In the Superman: Doomed story arc, Superman considers Batman to be one of the most brilliant minds on the planet.[96]

Batman has trained extensively in various martial arts, mastering many different types, making him one of the best hand-to-hand fighters in the DC Universe. Superman describes Batman as "the most dangerous man on Earth", able to defeat an entire team of superpowered extraterrestrials by himself in order to rescue his imprisoned teammates in Grant Morrison's first storyline in JLA.

Batman has the ability to function under great physical pain and to withstand telepathy and mind control. He is a master of disguise, multilingual, and an expert in espionage, often gathering information under the identity of a notorious gangster named Matches Malone. Batman is highly skilled in stealth movement and escapology, which allows him to appear and disappear at will and to break free of nearly inescapable deathtraps with little to no harm.

Batman is an expert in interrogation techniques and often uses extreme methods to extract information from suspects, such as hanging a person over the edge of a building. His intimidating and frightening appearance alone is often all that is needed in getting information from suspects. Despite having the potential to harm his enemies, Batman's most defining characteristic is his strong commitment to justice and his reluctance to take a life. This unyielding moral rectitude has earned him the respect of several heroes in the DC Universe, most notably that of Superman and Wonder Woman.

Among physical and other crime fighting related training, he is also proficient at other types of skills. Some of these include being a licensed pilot (in order to operate the Batplane), as well as being able to operate other types of machinery. In some publications, he underwent some magician training.

then batman is really a ninja/samurai/insert almost every martial art knowed in the world and some fictional, he is basically chuck norris "master"

Remember that Batman...the guy with no superpowers, has been able to throw Superman across a room via martial arts. Superman.

This is the guy who has a plan to take out every single hero in the Justice League by knowing their weaknesses....just in case.

Basically you have the "normal guy" in a group of aliens, mythological figures, mutants, demigods, and just about every things else under the sun....and still has to come off as being able to defeat them, or be able to keep up and have a clear purpose to being one of the Big Three of the Justice League. That is no mean feat, but most stories just have Batman be good at everything and having more money than anyone else, can and does have the tech for everything ("He has an app for that....what do you mean we just discovered it....he wrote it last night, just in case.")

I think I'm going to lock this thread now that the question has been answered, and also move it to the Sports & Entertainment section since it isn't really anime-focused.
