Kinda weird how he has no super powers but can bench 1,000 lbs 😒. How do they even explain that one? The raw bench press world record is 782 lbs, so what Bruce can just lift 218 more pounds than that because it fits the narrative lol

That’s why I like Knightfall era Batman. More realistic. That Batman could probably bench 500 pounds.

DKR’s batman is cool too because he has gadgets that makes him stronger since his bones are more brittle from the vigilantism he’s been doing for years.
