Batman Not Entirely Realistic, Claims Scientist

On the eve of the release of The Dark Knight , an associate professor of kinesiology and neuroscience at the University of Victoria in British Columbia , E. Paul Zehr , has written a book that depend at just how realistic Bruce Wayne ’s night job really is . The outcome may actually surprise you .

Here ’s the most surprising thing : Being Batman is n’t really impossible . Zehr told Scientific American that , while the various injuries that Batman suffers through on a unconstipated cornerstone may be unrealistic – even live so far as to suggest that his brooding duskiness may the solution of repeated forefront trauma , which makes a lot of sentiency – it is , nonetheless , possible to train to be your very own Dark Knight :

You could train somebody to be a enormous athlete and to have a significant warriorlike arts background , and also to expend some of the gear that he has , which want a band of physical prowess . Most of what you see there is practicable to the extent that somebody could be school to that extreme . We ’re visualize that kind of affair in less than a month in the Olympics … If you found the part of billionaire and multiply that by the pct of citizenry who become Olympian decathletes , you could probably get a close idea [ of likely Batmans in the world ] . The really important thing is just how much a human being really can do . There ’s such a huge range of mountains of execution and power you’re able to tap into .

Of course , any existent Batman would have a limited lifespan :

Somewhere around age 50 to 55 , he should probably retire . His performance is get going down . He ’s always facing young adversaries . That is well at the destruction of when he ’s going to be able-bodied to hold himself and be able to not have to deal that deadly force … hold in judgement that being Batman means never lose : If you look at consecutive result where professional fighter have to represent their statute title - Muhammad Ali , George Foreman , Ultimate Fighters - the longest period you ’re going to find is about two to three years . That dovetails nicely with the average life history for NFL running backs . It ’s about three year . ( That ’s the statistic I got from the NFL Players Association Web site . ) The power point is , it ’s not very long . It ’s really hard to become Batman in the first post , and it ’s concentrated to maintain it when you get there .

Of course , none of this takes into account that whole “ World ’s Greatest Detective ” thing he has going for him , either … perhaps it ’s well if we all just take it slow and let someone else – someone fabricated – do all the heavy - lifting for us .
