    Favorite Batman outsmarted everyone moment. That time Harley Quinn almost killed him, so Batman tricked the Joker into saving him because he knew the Joker's ego wouldn't allow anyone else to kill Batman.

      That's my big problem with Batman, he doesn't come across as relatable. He has virtually infinite willpower, smarts, and he always comes out on top. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, but I get a good laugh when I hear people complain about Superman's lack of relatability while praising Batman in the same breath.

      @simonaspalovis1204 Před 3 lety +277

      Although not always relatable, I like to view Batman as the embodiment of human determination and will. It's his willpower that pushed him to improve himself physically and mentally. And I think he is meant to show how much a determined person can achieve through hard work and dedication. I think most of us had faced situations, where we underestimated ourselves and our abilities in handling certain situations, only to miraculously pull through and be stronger and better people because of it. Even though we may never be as strong, smart and knowledgeable as Batman, just trying to match him can be enough to be better versions of ourselves.

    • @amazingcalvin
      @amazingcalvin Před 3 lety +57

      This is spot on. Batman was originally intended to be a human detective vigilante dealing with crime infested Gotham. He does have very high willpower, intelligence, pain tolerance and reflexes but is never superhuman. I never even understood why Batman is called a superhero without superpowers. It all happened just because he became massively popular, making his entry in the Justice League financially necessary. So the JL Batman is now capable of getting thrown around by beings like Superman and Darkseid and come off without so much as a broken bone. The power scaling for this beloved character is stretched so much that he is now capable of being a god himself while somehow still being human. IMO Justice League totally ruined Batman. Although I hate the BvS movie, it did get one thing right. Bruce plays a role in scouting and gathering metahumans as a team, effectively making him the founder of the league along with Diana, but takes on a more bureaucratic role in the league than on the front lines.The fights with Superman and Doomsday were just infinitely stretched to allow Batman to survive or even win.

      Thats actually one of his bad moments. He says that while he already assumed that they wouldnt see the danger and so he went behind their backs to make the plans instead of discussing the need for them with his team first. Superman would gladly hand him kryptonite in case there ever comes a need and hell, the plan counted on Supes being a nice and trusting guy to get the kryptonite close enough in first place.

    In the End I think he will Win what ever he setts his Mind to Do. Any enemy any situation.
    No matter the Cost. I think he even has a plan for end of Days.

      @Shubham Adhikari Plus possibly several killers. It wasn't easy case especially if murders stop and Bruce has ton of other shit to deal with.

      The Long Halloween was BY FAR my favorite Batman story ever... And I've read thousands of Batman comics and graphic novels. This story needs to be made into an animated movie with absolutely NO steering off from the initial source material. The epilogue when it reveals who was the first Holiday Killer was jawdropping. Especially when you're sitting there realizing that Batman failed to catch the original Holiday Killer and had no clue that he failed. It was shocking.
