Red Hood and the rest of the Bats working together
Nightwing, pointing to a fallen henchmen: Hood, care to explain why is he bleeding from the head?
Red Hood: Don't worry, he's just unconscious. I hit him with a bat
Nightwing: Hood. I don't think-
Red Robin: Wait, with a bat or with a Bat?
Red Hood: For fucks sake. A real bat, like a wooden bat. I didn't throw the gremlin if that's -
Red Robin, now just being a little shit: A wood bat? Like, a wooden batarang?
Red Hood: No, you ass, like a- Wait. Do you think we could do it? Change all of B's batarangs for wooden ones?
Nightwing: Guys...
Red Robin: I mean. Probably? There must be a glaze we could cover the wood to make it stronger right?
Red Hood: And with Ivy covering Gotham in trees every month or so we could find the material easily
Robin: It has the benefits of also being biodegradable
Nightwing: Okay I need the focus back to the bleeding-
Red Hood, nodding: Right, sustentability is trending these days
Red Robin: But we would still need metal ones. What if there's a fire? Also, we can't throw wooden batarangs at Ivy, this is like, throwing dead bodies at a person
Nightwing, now getting interested too: You're right, throwing wood at Ivy would only make things worse, she would get mad and at the end we would only be giving her more ammo since she controls plants and all
Red Hood: So what, half of the batarangs should be wood and the other half metal?
Oracle, who had been listening this since the beginning: No, the proportion wouldn't fit. We haven't been fighting Ivy that many times these days, and with the right coating the wood could become fireproof. If we made everything right, about 10% of the batarangs would need to stay metallic, but the rest could be made of wood.
Robin: We would need to find a way to make the weight right. Unbalanced weapons are more of a liability on the field, doesn't matter how much of a improvement it becomes on other areas
Nightwing: We could try adding some metallic alloy to the glaze, not enough to cover it, but just so the weight between the two isn't so different
Red Hood: But a metallic alloy wouldn't mess with the biodegradability of the thing?
Oracle: Not if it's something natural and unrefined, it's a bit crass but it would work
Red Robin: It's a plan then.

A few months later,
Batman, glaring at the batwoodrangs: What the fuck is this
