All things considered, I can't recall Batman relying on his gadgets more than his wit. I think writers keep that in mind and have since the 70's.
(and yeah, shark repellent IS wit)
The thing that rallied me was that half the book was IM and Hulk bashing each other's brains out, while a force like Black Bolt happens off panel. Granted, that I WANNA HEAR YOU SCREAM was fucking legendary and his unconscious body was super dramatic, I still felt shortchanged that such power can be rivaled by human technology. Especially with things like the Shi'iar empire out there.
