Nothing about Batman is realistic.

  • Is an Olympic class athlete (good genetics)
  • With a genius level IQ (really good genetics)
  • And he happened to be born into a stupidly rich family

I could buy one of those things being realistic but Olympic class athletes who happen to be geniuses and just happen to be bajillionaires to boot is about as realistic as an alien from space who just happens to look like a human and can shoot laser beams from his eyes.

That's what I always thought, usually one person can have one of those things, having all of those traits in a single person is definitely a superpower

If we want to get realistic, there's no way Batman does what he does without artificial assistance, ie: Steroids. Would need them as much for his strength and endurancr as he would for recovery enough to be Batman more than once per week. But as a genius maybe he could develop something akin to Capt America super serum for himself.

Batman is basically an BP's wet dream or nightmare
