Batman, the most unbelivable superhero in all of comics!

[Super_Child]

Batman is.... THE GOD DAMN BATMAN!

 

[Eddie Brock]

Batman is a pimp, I'll admit

maybe... they named it dragon skin armor because its made of silver dollar sized discs linked together like scales.

from wiki (they know everything!)

The Dragon Skin vests are known for their silver dollar sized circular discs linked together like fish scales or chain mail. This makes the vests flexible and allows for multiple hits. The discs are composed of advanced ceramic or titanium (depending on the vest rating) composite matrixes and laminates.

In a test for the History Channel's military show, "Mail Call", the vest repelled nine rounds of pointed steel ammunition from an AK-47 and 35 rounds of 9 mm, all fired into a 10-by-12-inch configuration on the vest.

Fresno, CA police officers ordered it after a vest stopped all the bullets fired during a test, including .308 rounds from a sniper rifle and 30 rounds from a fully automatic MP-5 fired from 5 feet away. Ninety-eight federal, state, and local law enforcement officers witnessed the SWAT test. The armor also stopped 40 rounds of PS-M1943 mild steel core bullets from an AK-47 along with 200 9 mm FMJ military ball bullets fired from a submachine gun.[3]

I like the midnighter. His outrageous abilities and tactics have a story. As for batman.... well suspension of belief. Its still a comic book.

my favourite beaten down argument

I'll tell you this and I'll tell you plain

Look at this argument(the title atleast)
Look at the world around you

-spiders glowing or not don't give you their propotionate abilities with bites
-gamma radiation explosions destroy, not create creatures of destruction with purple pants
-steriods don't make supersoldiers, they make controversy in sports news
-gods don't really exist(apart from jesus...ofcourse lol)
-lightning simply passes electrons...so don't get hit by it
-etc

batmans pretty much the only thing in comics that seems plausible...If all you've read is morrison than maybe not..

but if all you've read is Year One?
then why not...

omg he dodged some bullets
show me the comic when batman catches bullets with his teeth

I stopped giving a rat´s ass about Bats when he became the best at everything.
Sorry, SECOND best at everything.

A guy (no, not any guy but a genius among the thousands of geniuses in the whole wide world) spends his entire life studying and practicing hard to become the #1 forensics/chemical engineer/korean cuisine chef/whatever in the world and a guy who studied for like 5 minutes comes allong and beats him.

Now that´s not only unbelievable but it´s astonishingly stupid.

Even for a comic.

 

[The Leaguer]

Stop reading comics, you sissyboy. Can't even handle a little crazy s***. Christ. Why don't you go read a damn dictionary if you can't handle this.

 

[GNR]

This guy just started this thread to start sh_t for sure.

Batman is one of thee most believeable characters in comics IMO.Then again,these are superhero comics,they're not supposed to be that grounded in reality when you have guys running around in tights with powers equivalent to war machines.

 

[Not Jake]

Guys, I was the store the other day and saw this comic called Superman. It looked gay so naturally I flipped through it. i couldnt believe what I was reading. Youre telling me this dude is an alien from a planet called Krypton? The guy looks just like any other human, that is totally unbelievable. But check this, it gets worse, the dude was flying, I was like what the ****? People can't fly. And he had this fabulous red cape on that George Michael would love! C'mon, but then the dude was flying and fighting this bald guy in a giant robot suit and im like INSANE! and then the dude shot lasers out his eyes and the bald dude in the suit dropped on a house and can you believe it, nobody died! It gets better though, the dude in the cape like totally picked this guy up, he mustve weighed a ton and flew him into a prison, like dude, you cant carry that its impossible. Then the guy changes his costume and puts on some glasses and nobody recoginizes him as the dude in the cape. This stuff is unbelievable, how can anyone read this dribble.

They do offer attempts to explain how they got those powers.

How do yuo explain a MERE HUMAN being able to excel in every field of knowledfge known to man?

Most geniuses out there sweat and bleed just to be one of the best at ONE field of knowledge.
Heck, Newton, Einstein and Madam Curie only managed to become good at ONE, maybe two fields of knowledge and they were the pinnacle of brain power.

And here comes a guy who surpasses all those geniuses by studying in his part-time on his way to the Hymalaias to study MA with some monks.

 

[The Question]

That's far fetched, of course. He'd have to be some kind of metahuman himself to be that skilled. But simply having him as he was origionally meant to be, as in a skilled hand to hand combatant and detective with good chemistry skills and alot of money, is quite acceptable.

Now THAT Batman I could like and relate to.

 

[The Question]

Personally, I'd like to see a new take on the whole "Batman VS a group of thugs" thing. Instead of displaying superhuman ability and prowess in face to face combat, I'd prefer to see him using stealth tactics to take a group out. I mean, isn't he supposed to be a ninja? That's how ninjas fought large groups of people. Stealthilike.

You´ll get no arguments from me there, having him face dead-on groups of thugs defeats the whole principle of a black-clad dark knight who uses fear as his primary tool against criminals.

In Batman: Yeah One, Miller did something neat.
When Batman had to intervene in broad daylight, Alfred turned to to Bruce as he was leaving dressed as a biker completelly covered in blac:
"- No uniform?"
"- NEVER in brad daylight."

Whatever.

Of course. The suit only works when it's dark, and you can't see the seems and the straps and where the boots go on. In the dark, he's a demon from hell. In the light, he's a rich kid who never grew up wearing expensive S&M gear.

 

[November Rain]

just be lucky he's not wolverine....

meh, give anyone adamantium and a healing factor and they become a lord amongst men capable of dealing with lobo...

hahaha

 

[joke]

Yes, Batman has been written as a super-human genius.. A lot.. But it doesn't mean it's canon. A lot of writers **** up by making Batman more than he is. However, there are also a lot of books where Batman is written properly.
It's been said multiple times that he is good at almost everything, but not the best at *anything*. He has himself stated that Tim's a better hacker/IT-specialist, Dick's a better acrobat, Cassandra a better fighter etc. There have been also a lot of storys where, when he starts fighting multiple criminals, he hides himself in shadows, uses the environment to his advantage, smokebombs and other incindeary devices, batarangs and other means to take down most of the people and *then* confronts the last one.
His costume has been explained as an advanced form of armor that exists only in the DCU. I mean, if there are people with superpowers, a guy with a ring that can create whatever he wants, it's not that hard to believe there have been scientific breakthroughs in weapons and armor that aren't possible in the real world right now.

 

[November Rain]

i always wished batman's sole power was something crap like a latent insomnia which was triggered by his parents death. and that's how he managed to still do a day and night time life without taking its toll.

Which is why I don´t like seeing him featured so prominently in the JLA.

Putting him n the battlefield with Superman and Wonder Woman looks neat on paper but in practice it jusr doesn´t work.

He shouldn´t even be seen in public, let alone in a group shot surrounded by all the JLA circus.

Have in the League, sure, but depict him as a shadowy figure who never poses for the cameras, Batman is a name thugs whsper in alleys, not a guy who walks into court to testify in a Harvey Dent case.

 

[rigel7soldiers]

The one thing I always loved about Batman- he's nobody's hero. When outmatched, he'll resort to brutally underhanded tactics, maybe break a few bones. That guy is a nutter if there ever was one.

I've already explained how Batman could acquire so much knowledge in such a relatively short time and it's a very reasonable explanation.

No, not really. It's still very far fetched.

 

[War Lord]

No, not really. It's still very far fetched.

For a comic book, it's not far fetched and it's not too far fetched for somebody in real life, that happens to have an IQ approximating 180 as well as being super obsessed and compulsive.

No. If we're aproaching Batman from the idea of him being a human being faced with real human limitations, it's pretty far fetched. For one simple reason. No one's good at everything. You can be the best damned mathmatician on the planet and be completely unable to wrap your head around chemistry.
