@jb681131: Thank you for taking the time to list all of these, I really appreciate it, it helps a lot. I think I read all of the origin stories and most of the dark times for the family, so I have an idea of where I'd like to go from there. Got a lot of material to go through, so it'll be fun to say the least. Thanks again!
So, I've been off of comics for awhile and I was hoping to catch up on some cool storylines on my favorite character. Would love to see what's going on lately. Any recommendations on where to start? Appreciate all helpful answers in advance.
I wish we could see his thinking aspect more. I feel like there aren't enough titles of him just being smart as hell. I would love to see on movie screens and TV, but let's be real, the chances are less than the pidgeon hole that peeks into the room of slim.
Who do you feel in scope, personality, and overall behavior/beliefs resemble Batman in the anime universe? I wouldn't add abilities so as to allow more freedom and reign of comparison, and also, anime abilities are OP, even if it's cooking, for God's sake.
I'll never understand why people want him to be classified as superhuman. I mean, what he stretches is the natural fabric of how humans behave in a fictional universe where not only him but all other humans of his calibre can go toe-to-toe with actual superhumans. And the thing is he can only be pushed to the very height of his human ability, which is an average feat for a superhuman, whom you can argue you can stretch even further. I personally like it because it demonstrates a willingness of his character to go beyond his limits, and that's always cool. I just don't know what people suddenly expect from him being declared superhuman except even more incredulous feats that go beyond even THAT classification. It's silly, just tell yourself it's how comic human beings are, and not real ones, and you're good.
Thanks for the replies everyone. Nice to see so many fresh opinions. I personally am not aiming for him to have a glowing fist, but even if he did and was able to all those things, so long as other humans are just as capable of learning it, I really don't believe you can call him superhuman. He's not beyond what a normal human being, in his universe, can achieve. Using real life standards for him is ridiculous btw. But yeah, for example, if Batman had the type of chi that allowed for you to punch through steel and stuff but Random Joe, given more or less the same direction and time, could also do it, then it's just another form of human, since it's natural in all of us. But yeah, thanks for joining the discussion. Appreciate the inputs.
