Batch Apex [1] is used to do asyncronous jobs on large amounts of data in a more or less scheduled way.  Batch Apex can be used in conjunction with Scheduled Apex [2].

Bulk API is used for doing data manipulation of large sets of data, typically from outside of Salesforce.

If you were to think of Salesforce as a wearhouse, batch Apex would be like scheduling an update of your entire inventory every month.  Where as bulk API is more akin to getting your monthly delivery to the warehouse.
