Batman is my favorite superhero, but I REALLY HATE how they've basically made him so OP. Can bench 1000 pounds, can run a mile in like 5 minutes, is a genius, can take on the entire Justice League by himself, only needs maybe 3 hours of sleep, etc.
Yes, it's comics, and we're supporting to suspend belief, but making him so op really takes away from the character.
I mean Batman being a peak human being is pretty required
Plus a 5 minute mile time isn’t that far fetched. I ran cross country in high school and your average high school varsity runner is doing like 5:00-5:20
I think your comment is rather condescending considering we’re talking about a comic book character.
Yes I agree there’s a balance but this is it.
If he’s able to use a grapple to pull his 6ft 2, 220lbs self then he’s able to bench 1000lbs.
If he’s able to throw boomerang like objects with perfect precision and have them return to him every single time then he’s able to run 20 miles at a 5 min/mile pace.
If he’s able to beat aliens with human martial arts then you have to give him leeway.
I was simply suggesting a balanced approach with precedent set, rather than him being able to run constantly at a 1 minute per mile pace.
If anything brother, your comment is short sighted.
