He was the father of Kip Bateman, who later occupied the same Senate district he held.
Bateman was born on October 29, 1927, in Somerville, New Jersey and was a lifelong resident of Somerset County, where he graduated from Somerville High School in 1945.
In 1946, he joined the United States Army and was stationed at the Eighth Army headquarters in Yokohama during the Occupation of Japan after World War II.
In 1947, he was promoted to staff sergeant.
After military service, he attended Wesleyan University, where he graduated in 1950, and attended the graduate program at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
He served as executive director of the Republican State Committee from 1954 to 1958.
He entered the New Jersey General Assembly in November 1958, serving as the lone Assemblyman from Somerset County (at the time, Assembly districts were apportioned by counties' populations) going on to serve as assistant majority leader in 1964 and majority leader in 1965.
Bateman sponsored the 1962 legislation that established New Jersey's county-based community college system.

In 1973, following the reconfiguration of all legislative districts, he was elected to serve in the Senate from the 16th District consisting of most of Somerset County and portions of Hunterdon and Morris counties.
In 1977 Bateman won the Republican primary for Governor of New Jersey over Thomas Kean and two other candidates, but he lost in the general election to Brendan Byrne by a margin of 1,184,564 to 888,880 votes.
