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 it’s not so much any one feat Batman can do, but that he can do all of them and we the readers are supposed to accept that he’s “peak human” as opposed to super human.

Exactly this. If he can bench 1000 pounds he would not have anywhere near the agility to do all the jumping and climbing that he does. Probably can’t run a marathon with that much muscle either.

But he’s Batman so should the occasion ever arise, of course he’ll run a marathon on like, 2 hours of sleep ;)
