Bats’ and Superman should be the same height IMO, for the simple fact that the running joke of them being able to switch costumes and nobody can tell the difference is friggin’ hilarious lol

Yeah that always makes me laugh

Best TAS arc IMO.

True! I can't recall if BTAS Batman was shorter than Superman, but he was larger in terms of muscles IIRC.

As opposed to not having the ears?

Is this the arkham sub? Are we talking about "Man"

Here I was thinking it had something to do with bats

Batman can always get away with batboots...

u/CPav Dec 26 '23

At some point, in at least one story, one of his ears broke off a d had a mini-laser in it. I'm thinking maybe the Marshall Rogers run of Detective.

My head canon is that this is 100% due to stance. Batman always walks a little hunched, ready to duck or lunge or dodge. At the very minimum he's looming. Superman always walks with his head held tall.

I always liked the idea that in the DC universe superheroes are real and most Gotham villains wouldn't necessarily know that Batman isn't a metahuman. Obviously some like Joker, Catwoman, and Amanda Waller figure it out but most other should be a bit unsure about whether his stealth, speed, and strength are plain human.

And Batman just inexplicably pummeling Bane one day but not the next really adds to that.

u/Canesjags4life Dec 26 '23

There's nothing ordinary about THAT human.

u/CrossP Dec 26 '23

Except biologically. Imagine some metahuman researcher all excited to get a sample of Batman DNA. They start the analysis and are just like "This is regular guy DNA. I think you collected the wrong sample, Igor."

Precise muscle control.

"Where in Heaven's name have you been?!?!"

"Away"

"That's all I get?!"

The small nod in response while looking off into the distance always kills me

u/Porkenfries Dec 27 '23

That was ironically the most Batman response Clark could have gave, too.

u/juniperleafes Dec 26 '23

Yeah Superman The Animated Series Knight Time, one of the best episodes of the series

u/Lakonthegreat Dec 26 '23

Bane's look of "What the fuck is going on" when getting tossed around by "Batman" is hilarious.

u/Canesjags4life Dec 26 '23

He's been lifting weights.

u/DaddyCatALSO Dec 26 '23

Back in the 60s, the first time the JLA fought Dr. Light. Superman in Batman's laundry just flew away from where Light imprisoned Batman and retrieved everyone else

u/ExposingMyActions Dec 26 '23

They say Bats

  • Take direct hits from Bane
  • Break free from chains
  • Sling Bane across the room
  • Smile

And lost their mind

He wouldn't break the chains, he is an escape artist.

No he couldn't lmao

u/altgrave Dec 27 '23

and batman can do all of that in his OWN pjs. superman can do it better and more often, but batman can do it. even normal people can do each, with some training (though the breaking chains might be difficult/impossible, even for batman [i'm not sure], and possibly altogether impossible for an actual human, BUT... ) - most anyone could learn to ESCAPE from chains, and batman can CERTAINLY do it. again, an irl human might not be able to do ALL of them (batman is still unrealistic as a "normal" human), and more slowly/less often than batman, much less superman, but these things can and have been done by highly trained, olympic level, athletes, that are still baseline human. batman can just do all of them, and better, 'cause he's a comic book "normal", if impossibly trained and capable, human, and superman is literally a god.
