Fuck no it wouldn't be great!

Batman with superpowers is the worst thing that could happen to a fictional civilization.

Every time Batman gains superpowers he fucks shit up for everyone else.

Like that one time Batman gained Superman's powers and Superman lost his in a comic book team up.

Did Batman use his new powers responsibly?....

Hell No! He almost killed poor Bane in the most brutal (or badass) way possible.

He then turned into a giant Bat-Douche towards his friends...

And also went totally power crazy.

The problem is every time he gains powers it goes straight to his head.

Another case in point is when he sat in Metron's chair....

He just couldn't handle it.

And as always... He turned into a giant Bat-Douche towards his friends.

And I haven't even mentioned all the chaos he caused when he became a Green Lantern

Lets face it. As much as we all love Batman, he really shouldn't have superpowers.

Upvote if you agree.

I've never found these plots credible. Batman can do all of this and more with his resources, and doesn't. Powers wouldn't change that.

Bats already has the strongest superpower of all: shitty writing in his favor. I've seen him tank DOOMSDAY with no protection.

That's just bad writing though. It's not that he shouldn't have superpowers. It's that he doesn't NEED them.

Certainly not when the writers suck him off altering logic and comic reality to make him win.

He once became a GL and caused total fucking havok. He was basically unstoppable since GL powers are based on intelligence and willpower.

It would suck because what makes Batman great is that he's human. I firmly believe that he would use powers for good and it would be boring.

Your making the writers points OP. Batman's greatest strength is he doesnt need powers, and his greatest weakness is his arrogance.

I love in Injustice when he cries about how it's wrong to kill parademons, or Brainiac. SuperHitler's not the hero, but neither is Batpussy.

i think it was less killing them was wrong, and more how fast superman was going to the "just kill them" step. That said, fuck injustice.

There is a crossover comic where Superman is found by the Wayne’s, same origin as Batman. Parents killed, becomes Batman. But super.

That other comment's incorrect. It didn't give him a name, it told him there were three Jokers.

Jack Napier like in the Tim Burton movie. But it's in an alternate dimension so take that for what it's worth.

Oh no, Batman in Metron’s Chair and 3 Jokers is legit lore. The poster was talking about White Knight, which is a what if

Correct. It's from an alternate dimension story where Batman becomes a giant dick and Joker has to save the day.

Actually I responded too quickly without reading. The chair episode is "real" batman, but the name was revealed in an alternate universe.

Mr. Dark and Edgy is the most morally pragmatic of all the JL. It's the golly gee characters that anchor the morality. Supes, Flash, etc

Except for Identity Crisis, where Supes knew and did nothing and Barry was for messing with Dr. Light's mind.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I think he means in a "lawful neutral" way. Batman is not moral innately but holds himself and his allies to an iron moral code (1/2)

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

(2/2) while flash is innately moral in a truly good way; he really feels his morals instead of just having to hold himself to them

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Meh. Any writer that writes 'Batman goes insane with power' when given superpowers just doesn't get Batman.

8 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 4

They may write the concept badly, but I don't think it is a situation where they don't understand Batman. Quite the opposite, really.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They don't get it because Batman already effectively has superpowers. He hasn't misused his billions and tech before, why would he start?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

He has, though. Instead of using his billions for humanitarian purposes, he uses them to dress up as a bat and punch people in the face.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

He does. A large potion of his fortunes goes to charity he just also uses part of it to dress up as a bat and punch people in the face.

My point is, he could accomplish much more as "Bruce Wayne, billionaire philanthropist" than he ever could as the Batman. He develops tech,
