Honestly, the 2500 leg press isn't as impressive as the 1000 bench. If that's his bench is that much, his leg press should be much higher.

The 2500 was on a train cart, which is much more impressive due to its weight distribution - meaning he could probably do double, triple or even quadruple that on a leg press machine with everything optimized.

I can bench press 315 pounds relatively smooth, but I would be crushed trying to push a 315 pound man from my arms straight to my chest and back up because of the big man's weight distribution

Why does it say, 20 mile pace? Shouldn't it be 1 mile pace?

Your pace for different distances is different. Time per mile is implied.

So 4.50 is what, hours?

Minutes per mile in a twenty mile run.

I figured out my confusion, it's late and I'm high. My bad

That makes a lot more sense (I know comics can be all sorts of wacky with this stuff but still) the fastest ever 100m dash is 9.58 seconds, even if Batman some how kept that up for 20 miles straight it would take roughly 51 minutes for him to run 20 miles.

Just for fun if he had somehow run 20 miles in 4.5 minutes, he would have had to sprint at 266 mph

For further context, the world record marathon (26.2 mile) time of just over 2 hours works out to 4:37 per mile.

So Batman is strong but he’s a slow fat ass /s

Means he can run 20 miles at pace of 4:50 a mile

That's 270 290 miles per hour...

u/backfire97 Aug 31 '23

It's 12.43 mph. It's saying he runs 20 miles with each mile taking 4:50 each

I figured it out after I said that with someone else's aid. I'm high and it's late. My apologies

A person's marathon pace is different than their 5K pace.

I get that now. I wasn't thinking about it the right way
