McPhee Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Someone who has no powers is usually defined as "Peak Human" Batman is WAY beyond "Peak Human" he's done some impossible things, there was a site with examples but i can't find it right now. He's definitely a superhero and most likely has some sort of power that hasn't been revealed yet
Happenstance Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Theres no way they would ever uncover a hidden power that Batman had. Not after this long and the fact that some of his popularity is simply from the fact that hes just human. There would be a very big uproar from fans.
McPhee Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 He's more than human, thats kind of what i was getting at. Lately he's become more invincible than any "immortal" he's ever fought
Happenstance Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 This is probably why I dont read Batman that much, same with Superman. They dont have enough faults. A character like Spider-man has a lot more problems and is a lot less perfect.
The fish Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 I´m Batman I'm Sparti...no, wait a sec...I'm Batman! I think Batman is a superhero, mainly because he can be a hero, without having to rely on some special powers. Now that really is super. I'd like to see how superman did with out his x-ray vision, his ability to fly, his super strength, or his super speed...
ShockWave Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Well i think it's all the more inpressive that he can take down baddies without having a super power, except for the power of intimidation. So yeah i guess.
blender Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Batman is the only multimilliionaire superhero. Money = Power Millionaire = Super Power
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 LOL This thread reminds of the conversation round the campfire by the lads in the film 'Stand By Me' - where they are discussing such topics as "Who would win in a fight between superman and mighty mouse" etc. classic stuff That film is one of my favourite films of all time. I stand by my claim that he is a superhero. Defiant to the end!
Mundi Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 I'm Sparti...no, wait a sec...I'm Batman! I'm Batman. I´m Batman
ReZourceman Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Yes hes a super hero. That is the correct answer, its not a matter of opinion.
MunKy Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Batman is the only multimilliionaire superhero. Money = Power Millionaire = Super Power *cough* Iron Man *cough*
Jon Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 In all honesty, I don't think he is, just an elite human of sorts. If it weren't for his millions would he even be that?
ReZourceman Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 In all honesty, I don't think he is, just an elite human of sorts. If it weren't for his millions would he even be that? (He'd still be incredibly hard, yes. His gadgets are probably 1/3 of his actual abilities. The rest are his training/skills and his intelligence)
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 In all honesty, I don't think he is, just an elite human of sorts. If it weren't for his millions would he even be that? But, isn't it a bit 'wrong' to say that? Think about Spiderman. "well, if you took away the fact he got bitten by a radioactive spider, therefore meaning he has no webslinging abilities and enhancements, he's a pussy really!"

Well it was technically an invalid comment anyway, but for the reason above.
Jon Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Well it was technically an invalid comment anyway, but for the reason above. No it wasn't, Spiderman has abilites way beyond anything money could buy. Batman on the other hand, strip off his lycra suit, his fancy car and toy gadgets and your left with nothing more than a street fighter. Hardly a super hero.
chairdriver Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Yeah, hes like sword fighting king, like dared to take on Talia and Ra's Al-Ghul at once and lived. He is super powered. He is super clever, supid determined and is generally superior to everyone else.

Hes skilled in like literally hundreds of fighting styles, hes a genius etc etc. Hes significantly more than a petit street fighter.
Jon Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Sorry but thats wrong. Hes skilled in like literally hundreds of fighting styles, hes a genius etc etc. Hes significantly more than a petit street fighter. perhaps, but he is NO superhero.
