Batman 1,000,000 Maybe? i think i read somewhere he's supposed to be able to overhead press like over 1,000ibs, (more than the peak human classification of 800 in the handbooks) without the aid of his armor which increases his strength 25X over.
@jedixman: look how strong he is and stop debating
There's no debate. There's a right answer and a wrong answer. Not my fault you put the incorrect information in. Lifting 1.2 kilograms is, in no way, impressive. Regardless of what your intentions were, that is what you typed.
Now, this is the feat people cite. It's accepted that he lifted 1,000 lbs, which isn't even close to what you claimed.
Where does it say that is 1000 lbs?
Well it says 500lbs on one side.
Actually as can be seen by an uncoloured version of the image it's a 3 not a 5.

Just adding my 2 cents, some people accept that is in the 4 digits, I honestly don't. There's no plate that weighs 500 lbs that size, mostly because half of it is obscure by the artist. I don't think Batman has ever been shown to exercise with crazy unknown materials, actually every time I have seen him lift weights he actually just lifts normal weights.
Anyways, isn't Bane stronger than Batman even without Venom?
Pound for pound, I would say Batman is among the strongest. But the strongest I would disagree as there are human foes without enhancements that are stronger than he is due to mostly their larger size rather, like Bane possibly.
Val probably has among the strongest striking feats. But lifting is a whole different story.
Think that's more down to technique rather than strength.
I am mostly inclined to say Bane without venom over Kingpin. Kingpin may have better feats by being able to tango with Spiderman, but Spiderman is said to be into the 75 ton strength range if not more and I am not willing to stretch the 'just human' label into that range.
Now there are pics on CV showing Fisk crushing skulls with his bare hands, Bane however has torn an armored suit apart while off venom:
(Note: For those that don't know; Bane had effectively stopped using venom years ago (Vengeance of Bane II) and managed to remain off it for most of Simone's Secret Six run as well.)

Here's the thing. I don't think that there's just one 300lb plate on either side of the bar.
It looks like 4 plates on either end, going from largest to smallest coming from the inside out. I'd take a stab in the dark at about 1500 in total.

Really? I see 3 and the biggest one looks only slightly bigger than the one that says 300 and the smallest one is much smaller in comparison. I'd say it's still above the 1000 lbs mark but only just.
@tikhunt: It isn't 300 it's 500. The "5" is written on a slant and the top half is slightly blackened. In this case, 3 and 5 look very close, but the coloured version shows that it is 5.

We're gonna have to disagree here to me it looks like it's meant to be a 3 but the colour makes it look like a 5 however I can understand if we see different things as it is rather obscure.

Well seeing as we're agreed that there are several plates on the bar. I'll compromise with you and say that there are 3 plates on each end.
This next bit is pure speculation and guesswork. So feel free to disagree or argue the numbers.
Now along with the 2x300lbs plates we can clearly see, we have two slightly larger plates which I will conservatively put at 2x350lbs. Additional to that we have two much smaller plates, which I would say are about half the size of the 300's, again a conservative estimate at 2x100lbs...
Which still leaves us with a very impressive 1500lbs. :/
@iron_turtle: I only got 1300 lbs which I do agree with and as you said is still darn impressive.
I'm not trying to downplay Batman I'm a fan of the character so that isn't what this is, it's just if we class that middle one as 500 then it becomes 500 + 500 = 1000, then 550 + 550 = 1100, then 200 + 200 = 400 and that would make it 2500 lbs which is just ridiculous.
