Which is amply demonstrated by you're transplanting that number onto a space shuttle at top speed (which is wrong). Accordingly, you think small missiles reach speeds right after take off that exceed that of even space shuttles at the peak of their flight (which is again wrong). Ergo, you're clueless by about three degrees.
A small missile at the start of its flight going 200 mph is far more reliable estimation that the parade of phail above. And that feat is still not as far-fetched as Cap head-butting a fired tank shell back into a tank.
Idea that Shazam was playing possum to lure in Batman is absurd. It would be completely nonsensical, and pointless. Shazam got knocked for a loop. He reverted back to Billy. Batman came over to him. He re-Shazam'ed. He didn't say to himself "I'm going to trick Batman by turning human again!" No, that was just a happy byproduct of the events that unfolded.
The fallowing are truths: A) Superman can throws harder than tank shell B) It takes more than the force of a tank shell to lay out Shazam C) Shazam was briefly incapacitated by Superman's throw and D) Batman altered the trajectory of Shazam who was thrown hard enough to by Superman for him be incapacitated, however briefly.
By the way, I'm well aware that escape velocity only applies to objects without a propulsion system. I picked an absurd arbitrary number, to confront the random arbitrary number you choose... and said as much in my original post, and my response to your response of that original post... Not really sure how you came to conclusion that I think an object needs to travel at escape velocity to leave the earth's atmosphere... we weren't even talking about anything related to that. 😕
