I'm not sure this is actually the case for bats, but assuming your statement is true, it seems to be evidence for the presence of super-immunity, rather than against.

Dangerous for some humans, you mean. Clearly not dangerous for Mr. Wayne.

Bats live in massive colonies, so diseases can spread like wildfire. That's probably why their immune systems are good, too.
