Could someone train hard and long enough to be like the punisher or batman? Can one man really take out entire mobs like they do? Can one man take as much punishment(no pun intended) as they do and keep going? What do you think are the limits for someone who wants to do this in real life? For the punisher, I am referring to the earth 616 version from the comics and for batman I am referring to the arkham version.
Could the Punisher or Batman exist?
Unless you want to start pushing up daisy's, than trying to play vigilante is fool's errand. The stuff Batman and Punisher performs on a daily basis, is far above what Homo Sapiens can manage.
Nope. They'd never achieve the level of athleticism Batman has, and they would either get shot instantly or killed in a fight against more than two or three people. Or jailed.
@valthoom: Punisher, no. Batman, yes.
They both could. However they could only have short careers. In a few decades after medicine for healing wounds after a fight and tech/gadgets for winning those fights improve I say they could become much more possible.

I can beat entire mobs of people with the ease you'd stomp an ant, so yeah, Batman can exist. 1 trillion Batmans < Me.
A real life Punisher sort of exists already. Iraqi Rambo is the scourge of Isis militants.
Here are the main RL limits:
1)Getting the information. You will never be able to get information about crimes in progress quickly enough.
2)RL bullets actually hit people. Believe it or not, a normal human cannot dodge bullets and RL criminals don't wait for the hero to close the distance.
3)Physical limits. There's no such thing as "peak human", you will never be the best at everything. Aside from that, maintaining a second identity, your "Bruce Wayne", is absolutely impossible with a lifestyle that would allow you to both stay close to "peak human" and fight crime. There's just 24 hours in a day.
4)Secret identity. Throw a random selfie to some /b/tards and they will find who the person is, where he lives, what school he attends, what are his hobbies, where to find him at particular hours. A real life superhero with the qualities of Batman would go viral, big time. Every major crime site would be swarming with random people blocking your escape routes, just so they could stop you, take a photo, talk to you. Your secret identity wouldn't last 2 days.
