[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5495267, member: 19675"] As someone else pointed out, depending upon the particular writer. By that I mean that on the one hand we have the Batman who was bogged down fighting other martial artists & mercenaries in a massive assault while another martial artist- Paul Kirk, Manhunter- cut through them like a knife through butter. Bats is good, but Kirk is far, far better. Then you have the story to which you allude (written after my love affair with comics was over, so I haven't read it) in which he takes down multiple superhumans. (Those Evil Supermans must have been utter morons.) That, to me, is not so much a commentary on the essential nature of Batman as it is evidence of crappy X crappy X crappy writing*. ...Kind of like when Electro discovered that Spider-Man could walk on walls due to static cling? Or when Spider-man took down Firelord- Galactus' herald, who had essentially fought the Fantastic Four to a standstill- [I]in single combat.[/I] * That is to say, crappy cubed. [/QUOTE]
