As you can clearly see, Shang Chi does not even move till the bullets are on their way close to his head, at which point he gets out of the way, casually

Since we are doing bullet-timing feats, feat from Matt in one of the most recent issues

It is clearer in the context of the story. The character occasionally uses a martial arts style called "Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Rock" or something equally flowery, and the art uses that effect whenever he busts it out. It just an artistic device, not a force field. It also usually isn't so over the top, because he is using it for single strikes, but that was a climatic moment with him unleashing it that hard.
LOL He definitely shouldn't be doing the Wonder Woman blocks.
Kick-splitting a fully grown living tree No.
Maybe a dead one, slight rot.
FTL?
Faster Than Light?
No why would he?
This really seems the definitive portrayal - Seeing the muzzle flash + the freeze frame on the bullet, and finally the trajectory trail plus move (although again borrows from the super speed shorthand.
So how do you Interpret all the classic muzzle flash + trajectory line + move all in one panel.
The most common Spider-Man or D.D. "dodging" bullets similar way Batman is portrayed?
Are they conveying it or not?
Or is it if it's D.D. yes if it's Batman no?

You are arguing in response to people pointing out that punching bullets is an outlier for Batman that he can kick split trees , which if living would indicate he has superpowersKick-spiting a fully grown living tree No.
Maybe a dead one, slight rot.
FTL?
Faster Than Light?
No why would he?
.Well he can also kick split what were likely dead treas, but taken as living, this would fall under slowly developing superpowers
To which I pointed out, the Hulk lifting mountains (like Batman kicking trees) does not indicate he can move at faster than light speeds (like Batman reacting to bullets, the main issue at hand here), regardless of the fact that the Hulk actually does have "superpowers". Talking about a strength feat tells us nothing about a speed feat
Which part of that logic is unclear?

Living tree?
Or dead tree?
Would likely shift the line.

The real answer is whenever the writers want him to. Same reason he doesn't get splattered into goo whenever he takes a hit from a Kryptonian or slammed into solid rock or detonates one of his grenades point blank while trapped in a dinosaur mouth.
Realistically, the main way Batman dodges bullets is by constantly moving, anticipating shots, and the fact that his cape can be used to obfuscate the details of his body in shadow. Hard to aim for center mass when that cape is flapping about, making it harder to pinpoint where his actual body is.
I think the problem with conflating things is yours, if you suddenly start talking about "other outliers" when the post you're responding to is about Batman's speed vis a vis bullets, just like all your own posts, and y'know this thread as a whole
To embark on a tangent about other unrelated "outliers" when everything else is about Batman's speed is the real puzzler here
Just to stick with your line of thought for a second there, if punching living trees is somehow a manifestation of "slowly developing superpowers", why would Batman's increased strength even be relevant to increased speed,even if his strength for some reason became a "slowly developed superpower"
Or was this whole statement simply a random tangent leading nowhere?Well he can also kick split what were likely dead treas, but taken as living, this would fall under slowly developing superpowers
You're clearly trying to say something related to Batman punching bullets. What exactly is that something?
So my question was to the images where Batman is illustrated somewhat doing the same? Despite not hiving "precognition and radar senses"
The illustrations given of bullet-timing have been fantastic (well except that manga one).
Batman should not be conveyed that way.
Do we have a clear illustrative distinction between
"bullet dodge", and "aim dodging"? Or whatever Batman is suposedly doing?

A thug is standing 50 feet away from Batman. The thug has a handgun aimed at Bruce's head. The thug pulls the trigger just as Batman turns around. Batman had no time to move and didn't sense the shooter before the trigger was pulled.
Would Batman be able to see even a flicker of the bullet? Would he be able to see the entirety of the object? Or none at all? He cannot dodge it, but what if sight? Aren't human's able to see objects moving they can't react to?
What if the above occurs from 100 yards? At this point, I am postive even someone who is NOT a bullet timer, like a peak human, could see the bullet. It's just like the youtube video with human's and arrows...
