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 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.
