Bruce Wayne VS every real world sport

[Sharpandpointies]

How good are his strength workouts? There are people who can benchpress and deadlift 1000 lbs +.

Dude has held up a ceiling overhead noted as weighing 1000 lbs, while in a burning building. Has also had a 15-20' long totem pole, about 1 yard thick, fall on him, and lifted it off despite having pretty much zero leverage.

I'd give it to Bruce over world record holders, who do their bench presses wearing a bench shirt.

The world's record for bench presses without a bench shirt is 715 lbs. :)

Edit: I see I should have read the thread through before replying. :)

why do people keep on putting batman on real world scales.Human comic characters in a real world would be inhuman because of their crazy feats.I mean nobody can't dodge a bullet or catch one.

I have and can. Course I'm not taking about a bullet from a gun so much as a nerf bullet :D

So going by what might be considered a sport are we going to see Batman competing in a staring contest. He'd probably clean up by using the Bat-grimace.

Perhaps engage in high stakes game of passing hurtful notes at lunch hour?

It makes perfect sense. The involvement of sweaty, muscular men has always been a pretty nebulous requirement that seemed more based on the sensibilities of movie highschool bullies than anything realistic. There's always a push to devalue other competitions as "not real" sports, and it's always been goofy.

I'm sorry, if (in the case of chess) the athletic requirements of your "Sport" are: partial sight, cognition, and limited use of one hand....you are no longer an athletic competition. You can be a contest, but you are not a sport. If Stephen Hawkins can play on the pro team something has gone terribly wrong on a semantic level.

Hey, if we're going that direction let's go ahead and take out golf, NASCAR, and anything involving horse racing.

I have zero issue with that.

NASCAR actaully takes wuite a bit of endurance since it gets very hot and you're going for hours not to mention the stress, etc.

Rock, Paper, Batarang!

Winner every time.

I'm willing to bet that Bruce Wayne can outrun a horse in a full 1.5 mile race.
