..I like the Batman character a lot but understand why others might hate him. I think DC and writers set him up to p*** off people. You have this so called peak human being able to bench press 1,000 lbs, bend steel bars, survive huge falls which would kill a normal man and punch out the likes of Wonder Woman, when in reality she would barely get a tickle...on the cap America forum, some dude has spent like hours getting together scans which prove that Batman is as strong and powerful as Cap, which is ridiculous because Cap received a special serum to boost him from 95 lbs to 240LBS and provide almost superhuman strength and speed, but of course Batman has feats from his comics that a human who hasn't had some sort of "boost" shouldn't be able to achieve.
..then there is the way Batman behaves in the JL comics, his disrespect for the likes of Hal Jordan..the fact that the others often kow-tow to him.
..but against all that I love the fact that Batman does his home work, he prepares and doesn't just plunge in. He uses his brain and his gadgets to go against more powerful foes.
..and I don't think Bat fans are the worst, Superman fans are arguable worse, their arrogance on the battle forums when Marvel super-powered characters crop up is breath-taking at times..
