Deus Ex Machina.
Realistically? Stabbed somewhere that luckily missed every vital organ and major artery, along with adrenaline and determination.
I've seen combat footage of some marine or army guy in the Afghanistan war that got shot in his kidney and didn't stop to even think about it until he made 3 or 4 trips a few miles up a road pulling others out of the shit. People can take a fuckton of punishment and keep going.
Building on this, and not being too hyperbolic about "realism": he's wearing a full body set of reinforced armor, that is almost certainly going to assist in compressing the wound and his injury buying a massive amount of of time to start with. Assuming for 5 seconds he slaps some quick clot into the hole one he get in The Bat, or before, then bleeding out wouldn't be a main concern, notright away. Organ damage is his biggest risk, and if he avoided a direct stab into a kidney or something (the armor has gaps but still covers vitals), he could live if he's lucky with some back alley sutures to his intenstine, etc.
So, him living isn't the most insane thing to consider given his known resources and what he could likely have done in a few moments off screen. And over-explaining it in the moment would've killed the pacing of the film.
Sepsis, Batman's ultimate archenemy.
That's a unique point of view, thanks!
You also just unlocked a memory of mine: a close friend's mom once got stabbed close to the heart by a mugger. She went back home and drove herself to the hospital and the nurse was shocked since she couldn't understand how my friend's mom made it in her condition.
I guess sheer determination can do miracles!
