    @rustyroy: There was psychological changes to both Clark and Bruce.

    About continuity Dan Didio have said the following "The two books that exist, as I like to say, on the “side” of continuity are Superman/Batman and The Brave and Bold." (Question 15). However you can expect to get a continuity story if you want Marvel or characters for other companies. It is not going to happen. If you want to see him with other powers there is the Darkest knight story. You can probably find a story or two more if you google.

    Well I know its not going to happen. That's not what the thread is about. Anyways thanks for the info.

    Apparently the writers didn't feel the need to stop at just one. As the Insider Suit had Batgirl comparing him to Amazo.

    As far as the readers are concerned, even a completely subtle and passive "non-power" like probability manipulation, enhanced intelligence, etc. would make Batman much less interesting.

    I pretty much agree with that thread. The only purpose for giving Batman any kind of super power would be to allow him to compete realistically with larger threats. However in doing so you lose so much more than you gain. At the time, you gain a slight pique of interest and a few more storylines, but in the long run you lose who he is as a character. The whole point of comics and any form of storytelling is to A: tell a story (duh) and B: get people to identify with and pull for or against characters. Batman in a sense loses his identity in gaining super powers, as it ruins the consistency and the story of his character. As stated in the thread you posted, it would make Batman's feats much less special, because as is whenever he pulls off something awesome it's unique because he is only a human. I would rather see a Batman story about Bruce taking down some kind of organized crime syndicate or some low level mutants any day over giving him super powers just so he can fight someone like Darkseid.

    It would be cool to see Batman with other heroes powers, or maybe with Amazo suit or something like the watch of Ben 10 in AU story.

    Body Supremacy

    The power to be perfectly aware of, familiar with and in control of one's bodily motions.

    Capabilities

    The user has near or complete control over the movements and functions of one’s muscles, bones, veins, etc. being able to move with remarkable grace, athletic and acrobatic skill. Some users can control their flesh and blood to move at both their conscious and subconscious command, which allows them to take control over their motions, and to resist forced motor control by others (as by Possession, Telekinesis and Blood Manipulation).

    Fire and bullet resistance, which is Batman 1M's durability feats. He could probably corner his opponents easily with life-like holograms.

    Batman and others without "powers" actualy do have power.

    I think its the most powerfull Superpower in comicbook/fictional history.

    Its called: Plot Armour. For real.

    Many antagonists have it , Batman ,Bond , Samurai Jack , Simon from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has it and etc.

    No matter what they always survive , bullets , poison , god's , Supermen.

    That's my favourite Superpower.
