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 [including him self] 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 [both of age and of fitness, PLUS all those neat little gadgets] could do.

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