Default What is Batman Strength level?

Well, he's supposedly in peak physical condition, so I'd wager he can bench 250-300.

Benching 300 is too weak... I mean, I weigh 165 and can bench maybe 200-ish, for now...

i mean, the guy in Annapolis needs to bench 400 for Luke Cage...

The suit was said to make him stronger right so that means with the suit on he can bench 500+.

All the suit does is add extra defense.

I'm not sure exactly, but it's way more than 300. Somewhere around 700 sounds right, maybe a little less.

im confident its 700 pounds.

like someone else said, they can bench ~200 @ 165. im 150 and i can bench ~190.

there are a few NFL players who can bench 500-600 pounds, and one that benched 700 pounds. think about it, NFL players aren't even in tip-top shape. they are brute mass / muscle.

Batman is in tip top shape, nearly all muscle.

I was agreeing with you as much as I could without actually having something to verify it by. His condition has always been 'near or at physical perfection', it's just hard to quantify that. I remember something along the lines of 700, but that was before DC's website re-organized their character info listings to mere copies of what's in the DC Encyclopedia. If you say you saw it at 700, I can't say you didn't. I just wished stuff like that was more readily accessible.

Not even close. The most impressive things he's done strength-wise were holding the trolley at the end of SM1 and keeping that steel girder from crushing MJ in Doc Ock's lab in SM2 (and maybe stopping the train, but that was inertia and resistance as opposed to brute strength).

I hate the fact that he's depowered like that. I mean, 10 tons is a lot of damn weight. They've yet to fully show his strength.

that trolley probably weighed... hmmm 15 kids + 1 adult ~ 2000 pounds... then add the trolley which would be... another ton?

wtf... 10 tons? stan lee messed up there, lol.
i can't even fathom something that would weigh that much.
