NO! I don't think it would work. If you don't get arrested by cops first, you'd probabley be killed somehow.
I dunno.......if your smart about it, the dude could make it.
Plus.....remember, Gotham is a corrupt city.....the cops NEED Batman. So, think about that.
Nope. The chance of there ever being a real life Batman is as much as seeing Zorro & Dick Tracy be real.
Well, don't you think that in the old times...there COULD have been a revolutionary vigilante like Zorro?? Not far fetched man.
Tracy.......meh........that's more SIN CITY-ish, isn't it?
Yes, it possible.
But he would only last one night.
(If he was really good and had the financial resources he could probably last a week before the FBI would find out his identity and lock him up.
Yeah....the FBI does a great job of ALWAYS getting they're man.............
I dunno, I think this is where the whole "Urban myth" thing would come into play.
No.
In Bat-World criminals may be a superstitious and cowardly lot, but in the real world only the truly deranged would mistake the Bat-Man for anything other than some a-hole in a costume. The thing iseven if you were to accept the physical implausibility of such a character being able to function in the real worlda nocturnal vigilante dressed in a bat suit and strapped to some sort of glider is not and never will be an effective way of solving a crime or apprehending a criminal... not even remotely
Don't worry....I doubt anyone here is going to take this thread as an excuse to try it.
But......watch BEGINS.......the guy is flying around, hiding in the shadows. When people are scared.....they'll probably buy the creature myth.
People are pretty easy to scare if you do it the right way.......and I think we're looking at this topic in the "WHAT IF THERE WAS NO BATMAN CHARACTER" as well.
That is the reason why someone attempting this would only last one night.
Its not like there we have never had Vigilantes. Just no one who dressed up as a Bat to do it. Also taking a pledge to not kill would doom this type of undertaking.
I just think nobody's had right "stuff" for it........Batman is a unique character. Money, means, opportunity, motive, abilities, genes, intelligence........it'd be like the jackpot of the human race doing something as utterly insane.
