You seem to be talking about Windows, about which I don't know
anything.
In Linux I can do:
,----
| $ maxima --batch-string "1+2;"
| Maxima 5.9.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
| Using Lisp CMU Common Lisp Snapshot 2004-10
| Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING.

| This is a development version of Maxima. The function bug_report()
| provides bug reporting information.
| (%i1) 1 + 2
| (%o1) 3
`----
So maybe there is an option --batch-string also under Windows.
HTH,
