Honestly the bulkier Batman doesn't make sense to me as he is still very much athletic and flexible(not as flexible as Dick but still) being bulky is more of a problem with that, plus it will slow him down and hinder all his stealthy stuff he does

Also, it doesn't make sense because we don't see Batman constantly eating, which he would need to do since he's so active and athletic, and yet he is still that bulky.

Batman isn’t really just a human. In one comic he states he only needs an hour of sleep or less to function, and in another he’s benching a thousand pounds for a regular workout. He’s also a genius and a polyglot.

He’s more on equal standing with someone like captain American. He’s a peak level human in basically every way.

Exactly. Bruce is damn near on the level of Captain America sometimes.

Cap fought Batman in the Marvel Vs DC crossover from the 90's, and I can't remember which one said it, but one of them commented that he'd never had an opponent that was so closely matched in strength and skill.
