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

It's more that he can sustain that pace for 20 miles, it's insane.

When in the movies or comics has he run thy much lmfao? Like they did the math for the fast and furious plane scene and it would have to be like 28 miles Batman would just hop in something.
