Basically, as it's been pointed out....Batman informally "has powers", in the sense that he never seems to be hurt from falls, and that it takes a LOT to wear him down and make him even remotely sleep-deprived. One could also bring up Bruce Wayne's dabbling in Bane Venom--and note that if it acted like a steroid at all, that there would then be residual effects of it long after he stopped using it. Of course, in that limited, skeptical sense of the word everyone "has powers" then, including some people in the real world. So that's not really useful. An idea I find useful is to be a little more flexible about it, and put these folks on a sliding scale or continuum. There's your Obvious Superhumans: Superman, Thor, The Hulk. People so powerful that they hardly pass for human, and could literally do whatever they wanted, whenever they felt like it. There's your Specialized Superhumans, or Specials: Most mutants (in Marvel) fall in this category, and many people with _single_ abilities fall under this too. These people are powerful but in only _one_ category (physical strength, OR speed, OR intellect, OR their ability, etc.). There's your Transhumans (to borrow the science fiction term). These people don't have powers on their own but are able to _use technology_ to gain power. Iron Man is a transhuman, his powers are self-made from his armor. Green Lanterns are transhumans--they have the willpower and physical tolerance for pain to make their alien green rings work. There's your Statistical Alphas--people who are at the top end of what's humanly possible. Captain America. Usain Bolt. Prime Michael Jordan (during his last three Championship Seasons with the Chicago Bulls, to be precise). Bruce Lee, while he lived. Ditto with Albert Einstein. Then there's your Damaged People--those who sacrifice their physical or mental health. They go over the edge to get an edge. Most of Batman's enemies are of this sort. So where does this put Batman? He's in a unique place--not quite Damaged People, but close. For the most part he's a Statistical Alpha--an elite martial artist/gymnast, and world-class detective--who uses the hell out of technology to a near-Transhuman degree. To put this in perspective, this makes Green Arrow and his archer entourage Statistical Alphas in archery, with a bow and arrows. The Punisher--the _Real_ Mafia-hunting one, not Quesada's fake "demon-hunter"--is a Damaged Person/Statistical Alpha in using Firearms. Wildcat (over in DC) _would be_ a Statistical Alpha in Boxing and Parkour if he weren't such an old man already. *lol* The closest match to the Batman you're going to find is in the old Comico comics Matt Wagner did, with his _Grendel_ character. The original, Hunter Rose Grendel was a close match to a young Bruce Wayne in terms of both martial arts skills and knowledge of forensic sciences & procedures (he was good at covering his tracks). The later, Christine Spar Grendel would still be a good match for the latter-day, Dick Greyson Batman as well.

Answer 4

Doesn't really have superpowers. Revenge drives him to honing his intellect and physical prowess. Of course, that's not something you'd hear from a kid. Superheroes all share the same power, really; the desire to use any means to help people. Otherwise, they're just extras or villains. Though I've dabbled in Marvel comics, I'm no expert, but there is a pattern in all the concepts I've seen.

Oh, and a pair of glasses or a tuxedo are perfect disguises for those transitions between superhero and average joe.

Answer 5

Batman's superpower is his inhuman resolve. I know it's not really the X-Factor that everyone wants in a super hero, but lemme put it to you like this...
** You witness your parents get gunned down.
** Your single-minded focus is overcoming what would be the paralyzing fear that comes from having two parents bleed out in front of you as a young child.
** Your sole desire is to extract the justice that is due for the cold blooded murder of innocent people in a town that really couldn't give two S**Ts about what amounts to as just two more bodies for the cemetary.
** Time ceases to mean anything. The objective is clear, concise , and damn all, justice will be served no matter how long it takes.
** Your determination doesn't get clouded by the cult of personality in the process. You actually shun the spotlight, for the selfless acts of bravery, and violence what should be things for the five o' clock news...not the person carrying them out.
(edit: The money didn't help him. Actually, it hindered him. When it comes down to it, Batman doens't *need* gadgets to be the world's greatest detective.)

Now, my question to you is, how many people can really say that in today's society, that kind of quality isn't superhuman? The only types that make that kind of media splash in the real world tend to become corrupt media whores...your John Walshes and Mark Klass types. While they start out with good intentions, they get corrupted by the system.

Answer 6

It's simple Bats has the ability to be on the edge of human limitations in all categories.

He's as strong as you can get while still maintaining reflexes that hit the limits of what a human can do.

No other human can match that regardless of training.

It's the same with all his stats.

A human being may have enough hours in the day to be at the peak in two possibly even three categories if they are related, but dozens? And we are also talking about ones that work against each other like strength VS speed. He won the quick pick of the genetic lottery. I'd say he was a new species of human.

Answer 7

Oh my God, Batman does not have any superpowers. Actually your question had been the greatest debate of all the avid fans of the comic superheroes for years. Because almost al superhearoes have special powers.
Batman is just a normal human. But his power comes from his wits, intelligence, keen observation and physical strength. (from his training like martial arts) He earned the title of the Greatest detective.

Answer 8

I agree with Charles C. Batman's 'superpower', if you will, is his enormous determination and self-discipline. Don't forget, he didn't buy his detective abilities, or his martial arts skills, or his willingness to spend his life seeing to it that what happened to his parents doesn't happen to some other poor kids' parents...!

I'm truly awed when I think of how he stuck with the years of training, all the college lever criminology courses, and the grueling years of martial arts training, even when there must have been times when he thought it was no use and that he would never find his parents' killer.

The money helped, no doubt. But it must have been a temptation for young Bruce, not to sink down into a morass of self-pity and self-indulgence, compensating himself for the loss of his parents. Many others would have wound up turning to drink or drugs, or even becoming criminals themselves.

The gadgets are necessary, as we live in an increasingly technological world, and even the police and firefighters and EMT's have a variety of equipment they carry and keep in their cars. If Batman anticipates what he will need or has someone develop it for him and uses them to best advantage, that is superior wisdom and tactical skill.

Just because he makes it LOOK easy doesn't mean that it is!

Batman is truly super in my book. In a sense, he calls on us to be the best that we can be, to rise to the challenge and fight crime whenever we can. He is inspirational. Do you think it is just poor writing that he has the respect of super powered heroes like Superman. Flash, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern?

I think the reason some people don't like Batman is that they are convicted as to their own laziness and lack of dedication to strive for their goals. They say, "Oh, Anybody could be a super hero if you were rich enough to buy Bat equipment!" But if some of those same people were suddenly wealthy, and had something horrible happen to their family like in the comics, I don't think they would turn out to be heroes.

I hope, for their sake, that they never have to go through anything like that.

Answer 9

Batman has no superpowers. Everything he has he gained through training and study (and inheritance!). He has the strength, agility and endurance of a highly trained athlete. He has the education of a scholar and the perceptiveness and deductive powers of a master detective. He has the gadgets that only a billionaire could afford. He is a skilled martial artist and trained weapons specialist. That's what makes him so cool, he isn't invincible or perfect, just dedicated and driven and he kicked Superman's butt!

Answer 10

I don't think batman have any superpowers at all.. That's the main reason why I loved Batman out of all Justice League characters.. He is the closest touch to human reality and he uses his wits and muscles to fight crime..

His self discipline, patience and wits are his prime super powers.. He doesn't need any form of thing to change into a superhero.. He is simply a man who have smarts and he uses it to his advantage (good way that is) and his money helped a lot in this too..
