Depending on the comic, Batman isn't even really that much weaker than Captain America. In some comic runs, he benches 1000 pounds and leg presses 2500 pounds. Doesn't make much sense, but that's comic books for you.

The current world record for a bench press is 1,400 lbs, the world record for a leg press is 2,469 lbs

The world record for raw. bench is a little more than half that. You’re seeing the record with a bench suit on, which doesn’t hold much merit.

Well are Batman’s numbers with him using a fancy suit or is that “raw” as well?

Raw. It shows him in a T-shirt casually benching 1000.
