[Batman] Does the U.S. Government pick up Bat Tech for study?

This plane seems pretty advanced. Does the government ever come in and take a destroyed bat mobile or bat boat away for study?

Cadmus and certain high-profile criminals have tried a couple of times, but the majority of Batman's tech seems rigged to render itself unusable by some self-destruct mechanism (self-deleting all local software, occasional *physical* destruction) or can be made to do as such remotely. That almost always happens *way* before any third party can get to the incident site to recover half-destroyed Bat-toys. At the very least, all of it nowadays is electronic in some way and rigged to shut down if anyone besides Bats tries to mess with it.

Some of Batman's most impressive tools and gadgets are reverse-engineered from alien technology or the occasional goodie from LexCorp or some other criminal organization, and as such weren't his in the first place, anyway. Most of the *really* impressive stolen engineering the government has been proven to deal with comes from other sources, to be honest.
