[DC] What if Batman was short?

Prime Earth Bruce Wayne has long since been listed as 6’2” (1.88m), 210 lbs (95kg).

I was reading a comment about how Absolute Batman should have been short, in order to nerf him even further and make him an underdog. I thought it was a cool premise.

Say he is 5’8” (1.73m), 195 lbs (88 kg) now.

How would that change up his tactics, now that he can’t rely on being a tall, intimidating creature of the night with the striking power of a heavyweight?
