[DC/Marvel] Why don't Batman/Ironman or any other of the super-geniuses just learn magic?

As far as I can tell in both of these universes Magic is something that can be taught and cast by anyone right? Like there was nothing particularly interesting about Steven Strange before he started learning magic. 

&#x200B;

And this is more for someone like Batman who really has no other powers, don't you think learning some of that hocus pocus would really end up being pretty helpful? Like the dude can master every martial arts in the world, surely learning at least a little bit of magic wouldn't be too hard for the guy.

Batman has tried to learn magic at one point from Zatanna.

Batman is, by his nature, a man who seeks logic and reason in things. He's a scientist, someone who wants to break somehing down to its most fundamental, base aspects to study and understand it.

Magic in the DC-verse, putting it bluntly, doesn't work like that. Zatanna says so herself: it doesn't work if you try to make reason or logic out of it, because then *it isn't magic*.

So he gives up. Which is to say, he'll study it where he can (in his way, not Zatanna's) and keep the magician around as a liaison into the magic world should he need a liaison for whatever reason.
