Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ultimatecalibur" data-source="post: 5494266" data-attributes="member: 59539">The problem I have here is that in the sniper situation Batman set everything up. There was no outside intervention by others. He was the one who directed placement of things. He set it up so that the sniper only had on viable sniping location. He assigned Robin to stay there and ambush the guy. He planned the whole situation out on his own and set things into motion so that he would win. He was confident enough to go to the target area and let his less skilled protege that he personally trained fight the sniper as practice. Batman discovered the near detonation bomb, reacted lightning fast by jumping into a nearby safe and locked himself inside. He then road out the explosion, proceeded to preformed an impromptu safe escape and came out practically unharmed.Safe escapes are one of the most dangerous tricks escape artist can perform. Most professional escape artists only do the trick after a lot of preparation and a tons of practice.Batman's "superhuman-ness" is in his ability to plan, set up things in such a way that things will go the way he wants, react to any unforeseeable circumstances faster than humanly possible and has all of the skills to do all that he wants. Mundane reasons that in most cases require multiple of people working together to pull off. Batman did it as one person.An as you point out Mubarek had a lot of help, dozens if not hundreds of men watching his back. Batman stops the assassin going after him on his own. One man doing what 50 people are normally required is more than just human its "super"humanAnd often enough they only survived based on pure luck. The equivalent of rolling a 20 on a reflex save. If that situation were to be repeated Muaid Lami might not survive. Put a bomb beside Batman 20 times and 20 times Batman will survive with nary a scratch.The problem is that while anyone can occasionally survive  if they are lucky, Batman is more than occasionally lucky.</blockquote>
