like whats his max press???

he's held up a 1,000 pound ceiling struture above his head (shoulder press fasion) before...

he's been seen bench pressing (over ten reps) over 600 pounds on a few occasions...

funny though in one arch he couldn't dead lift 650.

other feats of strength include him: kicking down a steel door, uprooting a metal pipe, punching a man through a brick wall giving him internal damage...and this...

bales batman could NOT do that. cmon. and ppl say he's so close to the comics . for one thing, ITS A COMIC BOOK. and if the hero's gotta be human, they'll make him the "strongest human ever" type. but 1000 pounds??? pfft, cmon, bruce would have to look like arnold (when he first got big) or something, and boy would THAT give away his "scecret identity", lol.

sorry for ranting, but i just thought of that. i really dont care how much he "presses" as long as he kicks butt good

well batman can put himself into a ninja trance that increases his adrenaline and strength while negating his pain receptors and such... he can only do it for a limited amount of time 5-8 minutes... but he can do it.... and you don't have to look like arnold to be strong... I was one of the smallest guys in my lifting class and I lifted twice as much as some ofthe guys that were 3 times my size... it's all about how you train..and we all know batman knows how to do that.

^ yup..just look at bruce lee, he can put up 750 on the press, n thats like 6 times his weight, 130lbs crazy shyt

Yes I remember that. He heald up a cieling . On that deadlift thing he was trying to save a girl. He tore a ligament in his shoulder. He was so pissed he couldn't save the girl. He took steroids. Got addicted to them asked Alfred to lock him in the Batcave for 30 days and not let him out it was an interesting issue. I think it was more like a leverage thing not a strength issue though.
THose were issue from back in the day. You are dating yourself. was .

heyyyyy waiiitaminute...did you just insinuate I'm gettin old? ....man that's like the 3rd person this week...I just thought I had good taste in classics...

As I understand it, Batman is at peak Human level. He weighs about--what? 225? The strongest weightlifters in that class can lift about twice that over head--and that's their specialty! Batman is more like a decathalon champ, not so specialized, so I'd be surprised if he could military press more than 400-500 lbs. Supporting a weight is another story, especially if you are relying on your back and legs. I believe that Guiness lists Sri Chimnoy as the human who has lifted the most weight ever (by about one inch, using basically his legs): about 7000 pounds. So, I guess we have a lot of room to play here. BTW, I read somewhere years ago, that the average man can military press about 100 pounds for a 1 rep max (wt of average man about 150 pounds). That would make Batman minimally 4 times stronger than the average joe. Hmm. I wonder if his utility belt doubles as a lifter's belt...

lol, exactly mindship. no matter what, batman is human and i doubt he could lift 1000 punds in reallife. like, i said, its a comic book.

According to comic book physics, 1,000 pounds would be the peak human limit. Batman could lift a 1,000 object over his head. Now, I am sure his Ninja training helps him to overcome his human limitations.

um okay. I always thought it his limit was around 500 to 600 lbs.

Jinzin,
you know that picture of batman kickingthe tree down is bullshit right.

it is?

I read some where that he can lift 800 pounds, which is the same as Wolverine and Captain America.

4 million pounds!!!!!!!!dance

Why is it?

batman is just a man, 1000 pounds? i highly doubt he could do that....

yea^ probably not 1000...thats a little over peak human...like mainstream said he can prolly bench 500-600 lbs....cuz ive played football and worked out and i know how much people can bench....and it is highly unlikely for ur biggest, heftiest, fattest strongest lineman in highschool football to lift over 500...and batman's not fat at ne means at all....and the strongest people in the NFL can lift around 700, and theyre all fatass linemen.....

and anyways also, like jinzin says, he can prolly get into a ninja trance state of mind n do some crazy shyt like kick down trees or punch through walls.....ionno just my opinion after seein what yall've said and what ive seen in movies

You can't punch or kick down a tree, even in a ninja trance, the body, unless superhuman durability and density would crumble like bread crumbs.

Even though batman is a comic book peakhuman, he still can't kick down a tree of that size, especially not in one kick.

His leg would've shattered to pieces on the inside and the tree wouldn't have did more than shake one time.

That is bullshit,dude.

You can only do so much, even if you master mind over matter/combat ki/iron body/iron body shaolin/ or even self hypnosis.

The body can only sustain so much. Batman is no exeption, his body isn't superhuman only peakhuman, if thats the case those lazziass slack writers/creators need to change his profile bio stat ffom peakhuman to low-level superhuman, ita damn misleading and not fair to the comic book fans.


You have someone who shouldn't be able to do this and that,according to their bio and physicall makeup, then, he is somehow able to do things that are way way way way way way out of his physical league, its ridiculous.


If they make that exeption for batman, then they need to just draw alfred up lifting a building or maybe marvel should have spiderman lifting 150 billion ton mountain.


That shit sickens me.
Stick to the character bio stats if you're gonna have him do insane level shit at least give a good reason/give him an upgrade/ or something.
Don't just have him doing it cause "ummmm he's batman".

IT sickens me.

Oh and he can only press 650 lbs last I checked.


Now they got him lifting 1000 lbs overhead.


Rarrghhhhhhhhhh


I like batman, but this is ridiculous.

I don't like how they make him "batgod".

At least give the motha****a an upgrade to explain his insane level feats.

^^^^ I completly agree

who says it was one kick? theres nothing to prove it or refute it.

there are martial artists who chop thru several blocks of wood and concrete with one chop anyways, so why cant bats.

your statement rings false

^dude, thats not real, they rig those concrete bricks in a way so u can break them...and the boards, you hit them at a certain angle to where they break.....j's right, batman's pretty bad, but hes no superman or spiderman

i disagree... i had a girlfriend who used to break the wood with her hands and stuff



she would have told me if it was a set up

ya, they're pre cut

hes REALLY strong

Batman in regard to the Marvel universe is significantly stronger than Daredevil, as seen in Marvel vs. DC where he knocked out Bullseye in one punch. Secondly he is marginally stronger than Captain America.

Also in the real world people have been know to do incredible feats of strengths under pressure, like lifting a car for several hours straight so it wouldn't crush a woman to death, and stuff like that so relating that to the comic books, maybe Batman could have held 1000pounds... but he should have broken his legs in the process :P


I'm not sure about the next bit I'll say, but during 1996 didn't Captain America still have Super Strength? if thats true then Batman is pretty freaking strong for your usual dude.

My Marvel isn't so great, but I don't think Cap ever had "super" strength. The super-serum just allowed him to reach full human potential, as I recall: so he's about strong as a non-superpowered man can be.

Are you sure cause I keep hearing that hes just slightly above peak human?

Its a comic book, all the "normal" superheroes do things that no real normal person can do.

Well, like I said my Marvel isn't that great. That's how I understand it, but, like you said, that doesn't mean he can't do things in a comic book we would consider superhuman. That might be the source of the misconception as people could figure the super-serum made him superhuman to explain it. Or I could just be wrong. I'm a Batman man myself: never read much of the boyscouts.

nope Captain America didn't get superstrength from the serum.... he got it later, during which I think Marvelvs.DC occured. Then he lost it again

Ummm... buddy
The World's Strongest Man aka Mark Henry has squatted 1000 lbs
He has powerlifted around the same.
Mark can deadlift 900 lbs.

I can legpress 1400 lbs myself. What was that you were saying about peak-human?

I read in "Wizard" one time that Batman is able to bench 900 lbs. I forget how many times the mag said.

There really isn't any one, all-concise stat. It's going to depend on who's writing Batman, because everyone is going to have their own slightly different take on him.

Batman can pretty muc do the kinds of stuff martial arts experts can and they are just normal people like us.Only difference is they know how to do amazing things like break bricks with their heads.

There is one thing I have a problem with is that Batman is supposed to be 6'2" 210lbs being that strong and the way he looks in the comics there is no way he's only 210 im thinkin 230-240 he's not the only one with weight errors there's no way Nightwing is only 5'10" 175lbs (maybe 190 at least and realisticly more like 210)

there's a slight difference between weights of the US and UK, as one american mate came over and we went to a gym, get a good workout, i was benching 200 pounds, and he said he did the same, when he went to do it, he managed half a rep, lol, i was in stiches, he went and asked the manager the weights must be too heavy than what's on the side, the manger explained that weight is measured different in UK, so 200 pounds here is around 175pounds in US, strange eh, so in comics he really does about 850 pounds above his head and that. still strong as buggery tho

lol also every superhero in the comics look like bodybuilders, big arms, legs, huge back muscles, and shoulders, and the women all look like them beauty body builders, that dance on stage, must be what is seen as perfect for a superhero

When you consider how he kicked through that tree, its pretty weird, but what's really stupid is that that was Year One! he had much less strength and skill then so it DOES NOT make sense! But, yeah, Bats is pretty freakin' strong and, hey, its a comic guy, he can do whatever the writer says he can do. Though I gotta say Frank Miller's turned Batman into an abusive paedophile with Allstar so maybe we should ignore that tree thing As "Miller Madness"!

Was that intended to sound wrong?

Anyway, I agree with every one else. Batman is no Spiderman, no way he's lifting 1000 pounds over his head.

Okay, so this is all movie-verse, but after the explosion of the Academy of whatever, where he learned all of teh moves and how to be stealthy and how to mess with people's minds...

Sliding down a mountain, ice pick glove finally digging into the snow, then having a man dangling from the other hand that's bigger than you. I always wince there - his ice arm is at such an awkward angle that you're like... um... this is what we call a broken arm.

So he's carrying two full-grown men and at the same time is able to bring R'haz Al Gul back up on the bank.

Further more, I don't think it's really "strength" that's Batman's biggest stronghold. I think endurance is. Well, adrenaline-rush strength plus adrenaline-rush endurance.

And with those to chemical processes, we've heard of real life accounts where mothers can lift cars to rescue their babies.

Think what a man in his prime could do.

Light weight, baby.

what do batman fans think of Bruce lifting 1000lbs+ without any superpowers.

I thought the Batman :legend of the dark Knight venom arc was a great read and an accurate in portrayal of batman,a human without powers struggling to push himself to perform superhuman tasks.

When that girl drowned because batman could not move the boulder he had to resort to performance enhancing drugs at which point he was able to press lift about 700lbs easily.

Batman strength is somewhere between Olympic level and Juggernaut depending on whos writing him

Marginally stronger then Cap? I think you got that the wrong way round.
