Yeah, the inference is that the red suns are weakening Superman, not that they increase Batman's strength.

Superman takes a few punches from it.
Superman's durability goes up some more and Batman is no joke in the new 52
😂 Lets not get too carried away,

Ray Palmer(who had a hand in shrinking said suns, per Batman) likely weighs around 200lbs when he's normal sized. When he 'Atomizes', his weight decreases in accordance with his size--when he shrinks down to the atomic level, for example, he only weighs about as much as a cell. I'm confident the same can be said about the suns he miniaturized for Batman's suit, as he is certainly not lifting the cumulative weight of 7 full-fledged stars.

Yup.

okay comic book science aside(because its stupid)
making the sun smaller doesn't make it weigh less, it actually makes it heavier(a lot heavier)
I'm sure for the suit to even have red sun radiation effecting superman at all the suns structure can't have been compromised
So yes Superman is being weakened and taking hits from a suit moving with quintillion tons of sun power

I agree, why would he mention "dead solar systems" if it was just a miniature sun which weighed little? As stupid as it seems, it felt like Snyder meant Batman had actual red suns miniaturized in his gauntlet.

Why would we ignore "comic book science" in a comic book?

So you and abhi think Batman is capable hitting with the power of 7 suns yet didn't think e could straight-up beat Diana? C'mon son!

That's like expecting a gun that fires red solar rays to incinerate everything on the planet.

He likely did. But it's unlikely that Snyder took into account the strength factor and was only thinking of how the radiation from those suns would affect Superman.

The scan says microscopic red suns, not compressed suns. This makes me highly doubt they weigh as much as regular sized suns. If they really did weigh as much as regular suns, it would phuck Earth up.

I think the micro red suns were just to weaken Superman.

This conclusion wasn't influenced in any way to make superman get a durability feat that will be endlessly posted even in a Hawkeye vs Catwoman thread.

None at all

If any time period is allowed Id like to see a story where Spider-man (younger version) joins the New Teen Titans. Maybe have him battle Deathstroke.

Wrong thread. 🙂

Um, what now?

Holly **** how the hell did that happen, I could swear I clicked on Carver's crossover thread and even read the first post fear

You're talking about compression, where there's no loss of mass. That's not what Ray Palmer does. Yes, they're suns, but I think it's more than a bit ridiculous to suggest they weigh trillions+ of tons.

Ray Palmer shrinks down and retains all his strength because of how his powers work. He can't control the mass of other things as they are basically supposed to be unstable and blowing up when they are.

If Batman had said he was using partial red suns like the white dwarf in Palmers belt you would have a point but he described getting the suns from dead solar systems and making them microscopic with the help of palmer.

So when Ray shrinks down, does he still weigh 180 to 200 pounds?

No. Imagine 200lbs. spread over nothing but the width of a cell. If he were, say, standing on a desk, the concentrated pressure would send him right through it. He's also ridden on the shoulders of non-superhumans, who I imagine would struggle a bit with a 200lb. paperweight on their arm.

So yeah, what Galan said. And in other words, the Batsuit there isn't carrying incalculable tons of sun.

On the off chance you're half-correct, Batman/Atom's suit wouldn't need red star radiation to hurt Superman given that it can contain like 5-6+ stars in each hand and strike him effortlessly. It would make superman's benchpress Earth mass for 5 days while weak look pathetic in comparison.

Nah. Superman needs to be weakened in order for a punch with the mass of 6 compressed stars behind it to have any effect on him.

I think its a stupid scene, why would I repeat something like this? Don't confuse me with carver.
