Physical edge? I suggest we check out the Batman respect thread...holding up 1,000lbs, his speed, fighting ability etc...He is well beyond what BP is capable of, hell like stated BP isn't even stated as one of MU's top fighters...

Did you like the scan of Bruce bench pressing over two thousand pounds?
I nearly shat myself. Batman SHOULDN'T be that strong, even in a comic book world. He is WAY too lithe to also be twice as strong as the strongest human in the real world!

One of the plates on the barebell reads 500 lbs (it's hard to read in the scan, but is more visible in the actual panel). There is an even larger plate BEHIND that one, and some smaller ones in front.
Being conservative, and saying that the larger plate BEHIND the five hundred pound one was also only five hundred pounds, that'd be a thousand on each side of the bar. Two thousand pounds. Plus the smaller weights, plus the bar itself.
Well over one ton. Insane! 😱 😱 😱

normally with weights the way it works is that each side says its own ammount of weight, so going with how weights normally work he was pressing 2200 pounds, but he was damn near doing it effortlessly.
Yes, but these were hardly 'normal weights.'
They were electronically calibrated. Who knows if they worked on some sort of magnetic or gravitonic system. Who knows if you could have even taken the individual plates off or not? If not, it would make sense for each side to display the amount of total weight, rather than half of the total weight.

Exactly. However, since we do not know one way or the other, the feat is ambiguous.
It can, very easily, be argued either way. 1100, 2200, doesn't matter.
It's hardly Cap's best strength feat either way.
Oh, and Bruce still puts T'Challa down.
