Telepathy yes. Hypnotise with a glance, perhaps, but, well, The Batman's mind isn't exactly pliable, and I think it would take "mind control", which is not the same thing as "telepathy" to even remotely have a chance of controlling the Darkknight Detective.
The vague recollection I have of an episode of The Doctor using "hypnotism at a glance", it was some thug/servant/groupie/bottom rung of the nemesis' hiearchy type - not the equivalent of one of the most strongest wills in the world.
Is Batman susceptible to psionics? Never claimed he was immune to them - merely claimed he was a strong will that "hypnotism at a glance" wouldn't work on. Now, throw Gorilla Grodd and The Ultra-Humanite working together, okay, then he's a puppet. Zatanna wiping his memory of certain events, sure, it's official continuity, so gotta go with that - but that's magick, and not the where's the bunny variety.
