Yes, and we also know that Deathstroke the Terminator is able to knee-cap Kid Flash with a shotgun and get the drop on the Flash who would literally perceive him as little more than a statue.
It's so wonderful how comic book writers don't care about what characters are actually capable of.
That they turn Batman who is supposed to be the world's greatest detective, and the peak human underdog with no explicit superpowers into some other guy who is faster than light and snaps planets in half like twigs.
What wonderful A-class writing.
He's about as much Batman as Crazy Steve from All-Star Batman is.
Yes, and that is totally in line with the fact Batman is not supposed to have any superpowers and is supposed to be street level. Nor has any cybernetics, chi, speed force, power cosmic, or anything along those lines. As well as the fact he is not igniting the Earth's atmosphere with how fast he is moving with conventional speed.
No contradictions there.
Just like how Squirrel Girl can defeat Thanos, and is listed as a match for the likes of the Living Tribunal. Those squirrels are so hardcore.
Speaking of that there must be dozens of street level characters who are faster than light. After all there are plenty of people who can keep up with Batman!
Hey, I just post the (canon) scans. Not my fault comic writers don't sit down with biology/physics textbooks and work out what is or isn't possible.
If it tells a story, and looks visually cool - we roll with it. The whole concept of Batman is not humanly possible, so not sure why you draw the line here.......
It doesn't have to follow in line with physics after all it's fiction.
The problem is that fights between characters who are A) popular B) cash cows C) in the mainstream D) put on a pedestal always get their push.
It's like wrestling even if it doesn't make sense John Cena wins.
Which is applicable if we're using the context of a story, and not a match up between them separated from any plot induced stupidity or character induced stupidity.
Particulary when their showings outside of direct confrontations, and the narrative greatly contradict those fights.
Otherwise, there is no way to ever reach an objective conclusion.
I could use that same scene to say Superman's heat vision is slower than light-speed, and can't hit an established peak human. Whose feats of speed generally consist of dodging bullets.
It goes both ways.
That's interesting considering that fights between characters are the most unreliable source to use for comic books due to how ridiculous they are, and are written by the metaphorical equivalent of six year olds arguing whose dad can beat yours.

You can when they make positively no sense, and are supported by nothing outside of any fights.
Depends does someone in the immediate vicinity by the name of James Gordon say "because he's Batman" as one particular writer uses him as his mouthpiece?
If so 10/10 in Batman's favor. As you already know.
After all, as you said the very concept of Batman doesn't make sense. Therefore he has no limitations. Instead of going by what he has accomplished outside of his fights.
