Well, sort of.
Somewhere on his training journey, young Bruce encounters magic, and realizes that he'll need to understand it, just in case (or maybe a seer tells him that he will eventually face demons and sorcerers). So, he spends around a year apprenticed to John Constantine, or someone similar: someone who can impart magical skills with which intelligence, cunning, and knowledge are more important than raw power.
Powerwise, he and his apprentices are very well trained normal DCU humans, as per the standard timeline, just with more esoteric skills (canonically, any DCU human can learn and use magic, but not many can become very powerful). They use magic sparingly, only resorting to it when they really need it, but usually have some charms, spell components, et cetra, on them, just in case.
Whether the Bat-Man comes into existence or not, or has any connection to Bruce, is up to the author.
So, any takers?
