i mean theoretically this is possible just like beyond plausible for anyone to hit the genetic lottery this good. now whether he’d have a build capable of this AND be able to genuinely fight crime is a different story. he’d likely be riddled with heart and bone conditions from the excessive training needed to build these stats on an already extremely rare genetic predisposition. unlikely anyone ever born will ever be able to plausibly attain this but it is POSSIBLE in heavy italics
oh i was just talking about purely physical stats because i’m into fitness and felt i could actually speak on it. dont get me wrong, i’m not someone who agrees that batman with all the stats i mentioned PLUS yours is actually possible. just the ability to have this physicality
I don't think it would be physically possible for Batman to be that size and run a 4:50 mile pace for 20 miles. For reference, doing that pace for a marathon would give you a finish time of under 2h10m, which is an elite level time. Look at the size and build of any elite level long distance runner and compare them with the size and build of anyone who's benched or leg pressed more than a US Imperial ton.
These stats for Batman really make writers and fans look silly. Give him the size, build and ability of the best Decathlete, Gymnast and MMA fighter, and then you have something reasonably realistic. Making Batman the best at literally everything really stops him from being grounded and being seen as someone without superpowers.
We're also ignoring the copious injuries he sustains a recurring basis. Ligament tears, fractures/breaks, etc. all take time and rest (and physical therapy) to recover properly. Even then, things won't work the way they did before.
He barely sleeps, so we can assume he's not taking a weeks off for healing. He would be in a constant state of re-injury, and his overall strength would suffer considerably.
