We don't have a real life Batman because Batman makes very little sense and is impossible to replicate irl.

Realtalk, have they stopped pretending like Batman is anything short of superhuman?

Superman is not only a walking 2nd law of thermodynamics violation, the fact that he's also basically a boy scout is just as unbelievable.

Superman was originally envisioned as a simple solution to complex problems and that's exactly what he is.

Batman, despite some of the nonsense and physics defying gadgets he uses, is still much more realistic. Anyone can get a police scanner, a dumb costume, and go beat up criminals just like Batman.

The only unrealistic part is that since comic books aren't real life, anyone who actually tries to do this will probably die or be arrested in less than a month. Police scanners might not work anymore either IDK if they still use their old radio technology.

Because billionaires have ways to satisfy their pathological need for stimulation that don't involve putting themselves at severe risk of being harmed, mangled, and/or killed all night every night. Screwing average Joes, Janes, and Jaes over financially for minimal but immediate profit to grow their bank accounts generally scratches that itch without them having to leave the safety and comfort of their highly-secured penthouses and corporate HQs.

Despite part of his gimmick being that he's just a "regular human", he absolutely is not, no real human could do what he does, physically or intellectually, and anyone who tried would end up getting killed or arrested pretty quickly.

Even the best martial artist in the world cannot fight more than 3 grown adults at once. Numbers will always win. The only way to win against numbers is to have a shock or flame suit or something. Or maybe a gun lol.

This. I debate Christians constantly on this. Natural morals vs learned morals. It's because #1 he's naturally a good person. #2 raised right. #3 he only uses his powers for good.

It caused a bit of a hoopla when it happened. No matter what anyone says, even in the realm of comics, this will always be bullshit to me IMO.

Technically possible people have survived terminal velocity falls before.

The stuff Batman does that is impossible is like, he's got hand held retractable grappling hooks that he can use to ascend a skyscraper in seconds and also he's strong enough to do shit like this:

And don't forget that while doing all that math in his head to make sure he didn't burn to a crisp or hit the ground and shatter into pieces, he managed to land on Earth right next to the Fortress of Solitude because of course he did.

I get what you mean, but without some standards set for those grown adults, the question of fitness is raised. Any fit guy with some martial arts experience will absolutely destroy three neckbeards, with the scoliosis and atrophied forearms.

Hate to be Debbie Downer, but if a billionaire was really serious about tackling crime, their money would go into social and employment problems.

Oddly enough spending millions to build BatJets to shoot street thugs wouldn't be terribly cost effective, or effective at all tbh.

Accept it's a fun comic book and move on lads.

Not true. Ive fought four or five grown adults on more than one occasion. Granted, they were all pretty useless, but its very much possible for somebody who knows what theyre doing to fight several people who dont.

Now, could the worlds best martial artist take on 4 other decent fighters at the same time? Probably not, no.

You've all read Watchmen or seen the film, right? Alan Moore conceived the character of Rorschach as being what a Batman-like character who actually existed in the real world would be like. Rorschach is, to put mildly, not a good person - he's self-righteous, antisocial, hypocritical, violent, sadistic, bigoted, extremely right-wing and an ineffective crime-fighter.

Now imagine Rorschach with billions of dollars.
