Literally the best superhero
And he's not even super

Yet he has stood against gods and won too

He is incorruptible yet he lives in the most corrupt city on Earth

He is hard and fear invoking
Yet he has a soft side

He is smart and complex
But strong and willing

My favorite hero for sure <3

I don't really like the comics with Batman fighting supervillains or gods. He's much better as a kickass detective, solving crimes in Gotham.

He's not a superhuman genius or master of hundreds of martial arts, he's an incredibly talented individual with the means to achieve some good in his city. He's vulnerable and not unbeatable; he needs Dent and Robin and Gordon to do his job well. He's not a superhero. I understand that's not how canon works, but his best material really is when he's not indistinguishable from many other superheroes.

Pretty much sums up my feelings as well.

If this isn't badass I don't what is..

Except the problem with that is that the Flash is overpowered and the writers can't live up to that

Plus if they make him that powerful, every conflict he faces would be over in a few minutes and they can't do that for the sake of a good story
So they powered him up to a point that they can't sustain

And he merges with the Speed Force if he goes too fast and everytime he has encountered that problem, it's definitely always been more than an attosecond

So that page was just a little fluffing of Flash's dick
He's not that powerful

That could be said about a lot of superheroes, including Batman.

Batman, a regular human, shouldn't be able no matter how much training and knowledge be able to take down a god single handedly.
Superman was a stretch.

But that's why he's such a great character
His vulnerability is what makes the best story arcs

He doesn't have to be facing gods to be the best hero
A hero isn't measure by how powerful they are

But he is best when paired which other superheroes and he can play on that level

But he is best when paired which other superheroes and he can play on that level

I don't really think he can play on that level, though. He has no business tangling with supervillains.

Killing Joke and Long Halloween Batman has no place in the Justice League, yet they're some of his best stories.

He can't defeat a god singlehanded
But he has the brainpower to find a way to

And that's where he's overpowered.

He's "vulnerable" on an emotional level, and can be beaten in combat. Howeber he has the brain power of a supernatural human, yet is not counted as superhuman. If you are going to make him the human Anti-Hero, make him human.

It doesn't take much brainpower to know to bring a radion bullet to fight Darkseid.

Leave my grammar alone

That's not how you spell Spider-man.

He doesn't need to be tangling with supervillans to be a great character
I'm just saying he has done it before and it has come out satisfying

Anything you can recommend? Any Justice League stuff I've read focusing on Batman hasn't done him justice, at all.

Have you read Injustice?

Have you read Injustice?

Nope, seems pretty cool though. I don't believe it's canon though, right? (Not that it really matters)

Most overrated and overpowered member of the Justice League, with the former description encompassing all of DC's characters. Except maybe the Joker.
