How effective would Batman be if given the Super- Soldier serum?
As we know Bruce over many years from childhood on up trained his body, mind and senses to the pinnacle of human perfection and beyond, now in this scenario on top of having done that...........he was selected to receive the same Super soldier serum that Steve Rogers, Steve as we know had a whole of heart and spirit when he was a skinny little weak guy, the serum gave him his nigh super human physique and prowess and he train riguriosly to become the perfect fighting machine.
But in Bruce you have a guy whom without any outside enhancements is virtually already there, so with the addition of the SSS...........just how much more formidable would Bruce be and who would be some of the more powerful people that he could take down?
Thanks you, I get what you're pointing out but the comparison that I was looking for in my OP was Bruce going through the exact same process that Steve went through while already in perfect condition that he trained himself into, I'm sure the sss contains different properties than the Bane serum.
(a) making him being able to go hard for much much longer (he can already fight for days, but as we saw when Bane broke his back he can eventually be exhausted) - with the SSS he would never get fatigued;
(b) maybe up his stats very very slightly, if at all. He’s already kicking trees down, running faster than criminals can shoot, is already a hyper genius, can already throw projectiles and bounce them in obtuse trajectories, etc. He would probably not even notice a difference - like an Olympic weightlifter not noticing the slight amp a cup of coffee gives him.
Note - I am using the traditional interpretation of the SSS, which takes someone to peak superhuman strength.
I am not using some of the more modern interpretations that make someone straight up superhuman ...eg throwing a shield throw a tank
Under the original view of the SSS, the one big thing it would do is make Bruce NEVER tired.
Which, by the way, is a big amp! He can go hard for as long as he ha oxygen and energy in his body.
Venom is a derivative of Miraclo, which makes you blatantly superhuman.
All the SSS did was make Cap from a 98lb twerp, into an athletic physique (Ironically, probably the Aryan ideal the Nazi's were pushing)
Bur he's still merely peak human, just like Black Panther, Daredevil, Batman, or Richard Dragon. The fan belief that he's somehow a cut above streets is unfounded in feats, if not in words.
So if Batman took the SSS, it would do.... nothing.
He can already fight for days, without rest, fix a broken back and climb out of a stone prison from holes he punched himself in the wall, keep up with speedsters, tank blows from Wonder Woman and Superman...
I mean, yeah, everyone cries "PIS" when he does it, but accepts Cap can do this stuff because "SSS", but that's their logical fallacy. Nothing on the SSS tin says anything about knocking Savage Hulk out, that's just something fans seem to accept, but I bet he'd do all that WITHOUT the SSS at this point. Hell, he'd do it before taking the SSS, as a 98 lb weakling.

No real visible injury or impairment in his performance, after getting taken through a wall and slammed into the pavement by Wonder Woman.
A tank, by my definition.

as far as physical goes, that's definitely going to Cap. The main thing Cap has over Batman is he has actual war experience. Cap knows strategic maneuvers better than Batman because he is used to dealing with more than just a handful of people.
Cap adapted on the fly to alien martial arts with mastery of defenses against them in minutes to what Kang compared as decades of training to learn. This is on top of both narration where he claims to know all the forms of martial arts *and* beating characters who also have "mastery of all forms of martial arts.*
Batman, multiple times, gets his hands full with people who are master level anything. He's randomly been near beaten by 1 sub-master level ninja the size of Crossbones.
The only notion towards Cap's favor there is that his mind like his body is enhanced, so in terms of adaptation Cap's likely to adapt faster to Batman than the alternative. But I wouldn't say that's an easy clinch or anything.
