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.
TheHentaiWizard
Pottery420GlazeIt
That's just bad writing though. It's not that he shouldn't have superpowers. It's that he doesn't NEED them.
Flyndaran
Certainly not when the writers suck him off altering logic and comic reality to make him win.
VioletMoonRising
Batman has [Cursed Legendary Plot Armor: Grants invincible plot armor. Only works if you are completely human].

I've been feeling just like a Bat God, Bat God; all the people from front to the back nod...
SexyPalpatine
Wait, how can Batman be a green lantern?
DonkeyFartSuperPunch
He once became a GL and caused total fucking havok. He was basically unstoppable since GL powers are based on intelligence and willpower.
ApotheosisCM
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.
KingAdam85
Your making the writers points OP. Batman's greatest strength is he doesnt need powers, and his greatest weakness is his arrogance.
HockeyFighter69
@ilookfuckingcool Batman with superpowers rules. Kill em all.
ilookfuckingcool
He let joker win
HockeyFighter69
Yeh there is that
ilookfuckingcool
As in, if he let joker win in his mind...this would be him
MoodyBlueGirl
Did he say "poor Bane"? Lol
DonkeyFartSuperPunch
Yea poor Bane! So what. Did you see he was wearing a suit. Probably going for a job interview or something and the Bat rips a whole in him
FromDenmarkWithHate
"Poor bane"?? What the fuck?
StuckInBetweeen
What was jokers name?
Seere
Asking the important question.
markitai
Its actually three jokers, still havent given any names im pretty sure
whatseventhepoint
Jack Napier was revealed in “White Knight,” and the name is supposedly canonical... for one of the Jokers at least
locygman
vmos
At least he turned down the sinestro corps fear ring
NipplesTheEnchiIada
Has a strong willpower but can't handle power. I think that's a pretty decent personal flaw.
SiRoj90
This was all true, then you go on and say "upvote if you agree"...
GameMakr24
I usually agree, but the effort put into this post is worth rewarding.
SiRoj90
Thats... enlightening.

@OP they're calling you out down here
ElDopo
That and "I know I'll get downvoted...". It's the worst
SushiPooper
Don’t forget: “so much this” and “I wish I could upvote this more”
AliBarber
Yeah begging for points is pretty fucking pathetic.
Jarilye
Upvote if you agree.
Ruffeli
Yup. Can't upvote posts with that line.

Batman’s not a “good” person. He’s self-righteous.
Rifneno
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.
TheKindlyOnes
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.
richtus
There is a crossover comic where Superman is found by the Wayne’s, same origin as Batman. Parents killed, becomes Batman. But super.
Dtk40
Issues?
richtus
At one point he threatened to poke his finger through a muggers forehead.
Dtk40
Haha I’m sorry I meant what issues and series is that from?
richtus
It’s a one shot special called Superman: Speeding Bullets.

It's simple batman's an asshole

Batman is still trying to get a piece of that super ass even though their both in plain view of supes wife. Absolute madlad
ICantBelieveIShavedMyBallsForThis
what did the chair tell him? did they ever reveal the jokers name?
Pegussu
That other comment's incorrect. It didn't give him a name, it told him there were three Jokers.
Shahared
Jack Napier like in the Tim Burton movie. But it's in an alternate dimension so take that for what it's worth.
ICantBelieveIShavedMyBallsForThis
oh this isnt the "real" batman in the new god chair?
whatseventhepoint
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
Shahared
Correct. It's from an alternate dimension story where Batman becomes a giant dick and Joker has to save the day.
ICantBelieveIShavedMyBallsForThis
interesting. thank for the info
Shahared
Actually I responded too quickly without reading. The chair episode is "real" batman, but the name was revealed in an alternate universe.

Batman is a moral center of the JL because he has powerful restrictions on himself. He isn’t inherently a good man, he’s forced himself 1/2

waifusouls
Think you meant to say The Flash is the moral center
bestofallpossibleworlds
Or Plastic Man.
Grumpywitch
Well put, sir
Moridin23
2/2 to fight his darker impulses. He’s a good guy mostly due to willpower instead of hero instincts
18Litre
Which means he would be fine with powers.
Whitehawk7564
Damn good proposition
MonarchOfTheSea
This, and other concepts like it (i.e. Batman’s incredible fallibility) are what make him such an amazing character, let alone a super hero.

Superman is the opposite hes the inherently good character but he has fight the fact its so easy for him to take it too far 1/
triedtothinkofausernamethatwasntalreadytaken
because everyone is weak by comparison its that contrast that makes almost every cross over between them so great 2/

Batman is an inherently bad guy trying so hard to be good and Superman is an inherently good guy trying to stay good its why he actively 3/

Rifneno
"moral center of the JL" wut. They're ALL great morally. Yeah, others have done some fucky shit in 75 years, but so has he.
HonestCommentFarmer
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
xvermillion
Except for Identity Crisis, where Supes knew and did nothing and Barry was for messing with Dr. Light's mind.
Aryn240
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)
Aryn240
(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
myr14d
Meh. Any writer that writes 'Batman goes insane with power' when given superpowers just doesn't get Batman.
lDanielHolm
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.
myr14d
They don't get it because Batman already effectively has superpowers. He hasn't misused his billions and tech before, why would he start?
lDanielHolm
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.
myr14d
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.
lDanielHolm
My point is, he could accomplish much more as "Bruce Wayne, billionaire philanthropist" than he ever could as the Batman. He develops tech,
ruferto
Batman IS insane already. Or hyper-sane, like the joker but in a different way
EonRose
You get Batman though, Jimmy. Only you.

I'm sensing a theme here...
KingKrown
The event itself is cool,but literally all the Knights plot deviced their powers and are instantaneously superior with them. Annoyed me .

It's all fun and games until you strap your friend to the hood of your car, harness his powers and obliterate you both.

Holy shit that's fucking great
OfficialCommentFromCorporate
He kicked Dexter?!? But I thought he was a good-bad kitty!? TBH, Lobo and him are probably pretty similar.
Dagordae
I’m more confused that Dexter can talk now. Makes the whole Atrocious and his pet dynamic a bit weird.
Dagordae
But yes, those two would get along great. Constantly trying to maim and kill each other, but they’d both have fun.
cancerriddenlung
Hmmm...what's with the censorship though? A DC thing?
SometimesIBuildThings
I think it's part of the joke. There's another panel. Lemme see if I can find it.
TheKindlyOnes
cause its a giant green cock, and knowing lobo, possibly in detail just to fuck with atrocious
cancerriddenlung
They also censored “bastard”
SometimesIBuildThings
Good word choice, that.
