    @Mainline: Doesnt he already have Enhanced Intelligence? 
    excluding non organic villains like brainiac etc he's the smartest man in the DC universe imo. 
     
    plus if he was to have a power id just give him superstrength or a healing ability to enable him to last a little longer in fist fights.

    I could imagine him with Michael Myers' powers. Like unconfirmed teleportation or the ability to mysteriously survive anything.

    Batman not having powers makes him what he is. If Batman were to have powers then it should be the power cosmic, but the universe may implode on itself if that happened.

    i would give him the power to read minds because i just think that is the best power that could fit for Batman because he is a detective.

    Resurrection, just like Mr.Immortal. That way, even if he does by some one-in-a-million chanced miracle gets caught off-guard and killed, he'll come back and use his godly prep-time powers to get some sweet revenge :D

    In case you haven't notice, since batman #215 an detective comics don't remember witch one, he's had almost all super powers but physics ones, he's way cooler without super powers cause the comic world chuck norris, he's THE GOD DAWN BATMAN!!! he had all o superman's powers, he's been a green lantern and he even somehow managed to try out the powers o the blue beetle what you say o that? It'll be like giving deadpool wings, might be cool but unnecessary don't you think?

    I think so because even other ordinary people are acting like Batman already while idolizing him with his heroic deeds in the Batman stories but some people are acting crazy with it. I don't know if they're just taking a wrong idea of heroism or they are just using it as excuse to do some horrifying things in the community. Just recently, a male in Michigan was sentenced to six month probation for his tricks in a Superhero costume. Mark Wayne Williams was arrested in May in Petoskey, Mich. Officers, responding to reports of Batman being spotted on a roof, found him dangling off the side of the building by a rope. Some reports say police the officers helped him up, some say he was “rescued.” It is not clear whether the would-be superhero was stuck. The man was detained for trespassing and having a concealed weapon. He has already been instructed to hang up his cape for six months. I don't think this would-be Batman unmasked in court and sentenced to probation had a great idea of what heroism should be.

    In a way, Batman does have superpowers. As someone who isn't an alien, some member of a corp., legion or even league, or isn't some sort of God, he's pretty fucking powerful and has been able to be almost anything that's come in his way, including, but not limited to, the aliens, Gods and what have you. If Batman were to have the traditional powers like flight, x-ray vision, extendable arms, etc, without technology, he'd lose all value he has a hero in my opinion. To me, the fact that he doesn't have any of these advantages naturally it what makes him equal to if not better than, dare I say it, Superman! And I'm a HUGE Superman fan, but Batman deserves the number 1 spot or the 1.5 at the very least.

    I dunno, maybe this is just my opinion, but I find him to be the hero people can relate the most to because he's human and doesn't have natural powers or fancy rings.

    @chuckzR:

    That, really, is just someone being a fucking dumbass. Someone who does that sort of stuff because they wanted to be Batman have an altered sense of reality. You can't blame Batman for that though, he isn't real.

    I mean, he may be the character people can relate to the most, but he's still not real and even if he were, he wasn't just strong and totally badass on a whim.

    Batman has no need for superpowers. The lack-there-of define his very existence, who he is, as a hero, to the core. Adding superpowers, as noted above, would be "overpowered'

    If I was able to travel back in time, and re-create him with Bob Kane, I'd have given him superhearing. It increases and explains the bat theme other than standing for a rich guy who's crazy as bat s^%t.

    But he's too established and written with the strengths of a man who's hit the physical and mental peak of an average human being to become extraordinary, I fall into the category of fans of our regular bats.

    Batman already has superhuman strength, agility, endurance, senses, reflxes, durability, intelligence and business skills (he can manage a multi-billion dollar company on no sleep while he spends all his time training for forensics and Krav Magda).

    Batman definitely has super-powers, whether DC will admit it or not. Batman is, for in-comic-purposes, just as tough and agile as Spider-Man.

    word. you don't swing from steel cables all night and sit in crouched positions ontop of gargoyles without slipping a disk unless your super agile and strong.

    Of course, I always viewed him as a Batroc (totally didn't noticed the bat similarity until I typed it :P) type, just a guy that brought his body to a peak even a caveman warrior didnt think to reach for. The highest caliber of mind over matter

    Doesn't that just mean 'superhuman'. If nobody, not even an ape-man, can match it - it's superhuman.

    Even the 'peak levels' they talk about - if any human being had olympic lifter strength, olympic sprinter speed, olympic archer accuracy, etc. they'd be superhuman. Human beings can only be so good and so many things. If someone was even COMPARABLE to Olympic-level athletes in that many disparate fields they'd be a superhuman. That's what superhuman means - able to do things experienced and trained people can't do. I can tell you right now there isn't a man alive who can be the Olympic kickboxing champion AND the Olympic target shooting champion. Not within the genome.

    I wouldn't like Batman so much if he did have a superpower.

    Him not having a superpower is an asset, it makes him look at situations different than other superheroes. That's why the JL needs him.
