This is not a bash Batman thread. I have enjoyed some of the newer stories, just not as much as the older stuff. Not looking to bash just looking to see what people who know more and are bigger fans of batman think about him now. And fans who have been reading him for years what do you think of him now vs years ago? I really enjoy the older stuff. The time when he worked with Gordon and thought of heroes like The Metal men as crime fighting equals. A time when a group of thugs worried him. A time when foes out of his weight class gave him a hard time and he had to look to Superman for help.
With the way he has been written over the years. A man who can solve any crime, any crisis. A man who can beat up a dozen armed thugs without breaking a sweat. A man who fights people way out of his weight class and not only stands his ground but at times wins. I mean lets be honest. A normal person should not be able to go against the likes of Superman, Green lantern, Flash and honestly be expected to give them a challenge that threatens them. I mean the other heroes look at him as some sort of god who is unbeatable. One of the appeals of Batman was that he was a normal human doing great thing in a world of gods. I feel like that magic has been lost.
So when do we say you know what he is not a normal human any more?
