I know. That was why I said it was in development/testing phase and not that it was developed.

@tupiaz: yeah, I know... I was just agreeing with you.

which is why he has bulletproof armor

Which is why he wouldn't be able to do those kind of acrobatics and parkour.

It doesn't work like that, the amount of armor they would have to stack to provide any sort of resistance to prolonged gunfire would inhibit them from doing any sort of acrobatic or martial arts maneuvers. Unless they slab themselves up with some thick armor plates on top of the typical flexible bulletproof material, getting shot will not be an option. If they do manage to armor themselves with those armor plates, they're not going to be doing any fancy martial arts and they'd just be better off carrying guns filled with less than lethal ammunition to do the job like rubber bullets or gas grenades. They'd also have to opt for a fully-enclosed helmet, or else all of that armor won't mean jack if it means someone can shoot them in the face.

The thing about flexible bulletproof armor that people seem to forget is that once it is shot, the armor is compromised and is severely reduced in its ability to resist further damage (fibers are torn, stretched beyond their ability to provide resistance, flexible/semi-flexible plates are broken etc.). The force of the projectile would also still affect the person getting shot, all of that energy does not magically disappear just because the bullet is unable to pierce the armor, so not only are they going to be very sore and suffer from tissue damage that will hurt like hell, but ruin any potential for moving in a swift and deft manner in the future. Armor is also going to have to be replaced in pretty much every instance it has taken damage, so even if they do manage to somehow survive their encounters, they're going to go through suits like we go through cheap work gloves.

Love the people who instantly say Batman would die in one night, yet there's Spec Ops in RL who've survived years of missions, maybe even solo ones.

1) They have guns.

2) They're extremely well trained and experienced with these guns.

3) They operate in teams.

4) They're a part of an extensive system that provides them with strategic and local support to allow them to survive and finish their mission.

5) They have guns.

They're good, they can be damned good, but they can still be taken out through sheer weight of fire and numbers, and that's when they actually have the capability of shooting back. Stuck in the same situation that they would typically face, a guy equipped like Batman would die quickly in any sort of firefight because of his equipment disadvantage. The enemy won't be lining up to take a ticket to get into a brawl with a guy dressed up like a bat, they'd shoot him down and there would be nothing he can do about it.

The frequency of fighting for a typical SF operative won't be nearly as high as a guy that goes out looking for trouble nearly every night and would plan to do so for years on end, they'd have extended down times like any other soldier where they're not in direct combat, so "years of missions" always has to be taken into context.

A guy equipped like Batman can take out many spec ops.

@vmole: That's why i said solo missions. Also Batman isn't an idiot running straight at the the thugs. He uses stealth. General criminals tend to not be as organised as proper militias/armies/terrorists, making his task easier. They also use radio silence often against enemies that have the potential to detect it. Plus, Batman has a distinct tech advantage, using even just heat vision/infrared and smoke bombs is a serious advantage.

So what if they have guns? Batman has batarangs. Similar to shurikens, they are lethal in trained hands, ranged and extremely silent. They're useless, you cry? Then why does some soldiers use crossbows on stealth missions in RL?

@rustyroy: This is the real world we're talking about, not comics where trained personnel are given Galactic Empire Stormtrooper training and accuracy and martial artists are given mini Fortune devices that allow bullets to dance around them. A gun is still a better ranged weapon than anything Batman can carry or throw at his enemies.

Batman's been depicted in scenarios far too many to count where he has fought against thugs that were aware of his presence and were firing their guns at him, stealth obviously doesn't work in every instance or else it wouldn't even come down to a gunfight where he should be, if it weren't a comic, at a severe disadvantage.

Can you bring up any specific instance where special forces operatives were specifically told to operate completely by themselves for any extended period of time without any sort of local support that also didn't involve their unit being cut down from their original number? Special forces teams can get away with what they do because their choices for engagement are limited to where they can make an easier exit before any intense fighting is encountered that could wipe them out, the fact that they usually have local support in one way or another, and the fact they have the proper means of fighting back if something goes wrong i.e. shooting back.

As for the batarang:

1) Guy throws his batarang.

2) Guy misses and gets shot to death for his trouble.

-or-

3) Guy hits with his batarang, mildly annoying or not causing significant harm to the guy with the gun, and gets shot to death for his trouble.

The guy with the gun is a much more consistent threat at range because his weapon is a superior tool for the job, it can be fired in quicker succession, its projectile travels faster, it can be used at a longer distance, it can penetrate cover, and it doesn't require anywhere near as many motions to squeeze the trigger as it takes to throw a batarang.

The only thing the batarang would have over the gun is that it is relatively silent and it can double as a stabbing or cutting implement, but unless you're working with Bullseye-level throwing abilities, it's not instantly lethal unless that batarang is using some sort of really fast-acting neurotoxin that somehow shuts down the brain functions almost as soon as contact is made.

A real life Batman would be much closer to the Punisher than Batman if he wants to even have a hope of surviving or operating to any satisfactory degree.

Possible.

Not likely.

What if someone were to raise their child, train their child, from birth until their 18th birthday? 7 different languages, 7 different martial arts, and a vast array of knowledge on varied subjects. Plus, life lessons in a fatherly manner. Not saying the boy has to go and become The Goddamn Batman, but he'd certainly be destined for great things, wouldn't you say?

@vmole: You're 1,2,3 strategy could easily apply to any situation with any spec ops, yet they still survive. Mistakes can be made by anyone.

Support? The guy's in a city, not a remote desert. Plus he typically has the bat-family or even Alfred usually provides transport, if necessary.

His main weapon is sleeper hold. Batarangs can be used for the shuriken, historical purpose, distraction. Also considering he's meant to have trained with batarangs for years, he should be able to hit at least one of the typical areas, face, neck and hands.

As for examples of spec ops missions, they're usually confidential tbh.

0%

@vmole:

1. Batman is generally against hired thugs, poorly-trained, so your spec ops example is bizarre.

2.Batman can easily use the authorities. If he managed to escape into a public area, I think the police would concentrate on the guys with than the seemingly poor nut dressed up like a bat, providing distraction. Also the criminals are limited as they'd fear entering a public area due to authorities.

3. He generally uses both unexpected angles and swift movement to quickly restrain criminals.

4. That was the shuriken's historical purpose... and it did it pretty effectively. When you have a sharp weapon piercing either your eyes, face, neck or hands, it's a bit more distracting than you think to fight back...

5. I'll admit that team operation are more effective, but they're generally against greater numbers, better trained and equipped soldiers.

You seem to think Batman tries to fight back in gunfights. That'd be stupid, he tries to avoid as he does in the comics/Arkham games. If caught and is fast enough, he has a number of distraction techniques at his disposal. The heat vision and training in predetermining moves should give the split-second advantage needed to distract/escape.

@spinningbirdcake: Uh those aliens youre talking about are called plants. They use light as a catalyst to produce sugars they need to feed on.

@impurestcheese: Yeah sure, they need sunlight to survive. I'm saying there's more of a chance that there are aliens who become strengthened beyond their normal capacity when exposed to solar rays.

Bruce Lee existed. I suppose Batman could too (in the combat abilities sense) because Lee could probably demolish comic book Batman.

Batman could not work with the cape though, he'd need it closed up in his suit like TDK or else it would really slow him down.

A real life Batman would probably be really lame, and restrained though. Look at Seattle.

@silverpool: He could have a little fan built-in that constantly blows the cape away from him. Practical and stylish ;)

Real life Batman would probably take some inspiration from Spawn make a stylish, overly long, flowing cape that could cover an entire football field.

About imitating a ninja-detective that beat the shit out of scary clowns... yeah very hard.

However I m pretty sure our world is capable of solo many fictional universes.

Example: Kick ass verse.

I don't even think there are that many martial arts, and if there were a real life batman would only know about 4 before starting his carrier, or just perfect one that is really strong ( like in nolans trilogy )

I would say that 70% of what happened in the Dark Knight Trilogy could work in real life.

@vmole: ah but that's why his TDK batsuit has separated plates of armor

Of course there are that many types of martial arts. Many, if not most of them are very slight deviations from each other, which is why it's easier for him to master them.

Essentially, he could have mastered one style and essentially have mastered it's 6 derivatives or so.

See here, more than 127 styles listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_martial_arts

Which still leaves gaps, and each plate can still be compromised, meaning subsequent shots have a much higher chance of getting through, and I'm pretty certain that the 'soft' armor underneath won't be holding up too well unless those plates are particularly thick. Either you opt for hard and thicker plates of armor that limit your flexibility or flexible armor that limits your potential to defeat more powerful rounds and can be more easily defeated through repeated fire.

like Wayne said, "we don't want to make things too easy, now would we?"

Don't forget,Batman never wanted to be seen......he operated in the dark.
This guy wants publicity.

He doesn't rely on armor primarily. He primarily relies on not getting shot by hiding and moving quickly, as well as misdirection tactics.

in other words - stealth. Like in the Arkham Games

Largely stealth, but also misdirection and gymnastics when stealth is not an option.

Like what?

Several gadgets.

The heat alone of being enclosed in a batsuit able to withstand gunfire would make him pass out.

To add to he exhaustion, he'd have to carry the large real world grappling projector with him and the cable on his back, set it up, wear a full harness, and ensure the line is secure, then launch himself up. It would absolutely not be spiderman like, itd be a slow, noisy and worthless means of getting across a city. There is no gliding in a city - you would have to wear a full glider and then you'd hit the side of a building.

@matteopg: shuttup dude! Yorick could do it! You telling me Y TLM isnt realistic, you wanna go!?

@muyjingo:

It is possibel but he wouldnt last for long time. Assuming that learning everything in 10 years, and he is 20/21 years old. He probably would last 10 years. Since he is ninja, he needs light costume and he cannot have black costume but dark blue. No cape, no heavy body armor, not lot of gadgets. Probably sleep deprevacion since he will work during the day and fight during the night plus he has to train at least everyday to keep his physical condition and skills at peak. Gadgets would probably be less advance, since he had to use moderm tech and high tech is more of use of field science or even the army.

For those that think Batman can exist are dreaming lmao.

There are people that operate Batman-Esque operations daily.

Rubber bullets are a thing, and RL Batman would utilize them to their fullest. He wouldn't operate like he does in the comics, but it's entirely possible.

Agreed

I imagine He'd rely heavily on tranquilizers and Lachyrmators.

Well I feel like some of the fictional stuff could be possible.

Their was a kid born with nightvision able to see the in dark,and there are other rare occurrence's.

I think a very grounded Batman would be possible but he wouldn't have half of all the equipment Batman has,so I guess you can't really call him Batman and he would most likely not last long.I do feel like we're getting very close to his gadgets I'd say in the next 10 or 20 years.

his body wouldn't last.

a broken rib let alone turf toe would have him sidelined

That's another thing people don't consider.

In a comic book, saying "three... no, four ribs are gone" sounds cool. In reality you're grounded for months and they become more fragile. The amount of damage Batman sustains at each fight? He wouldn't last a year.

Plus his lack of sleep would lead to exhaustion. Alfred had to force him to eat and sleep at points, which is dumb. He needs rest and sustenance

The armor would be possible, as shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFzIZkofoFg
The gadgets: We are talking about a person who has the most or one of the most sophisticated techs in the world. Most of his gadgets would be possible, bringing them all along with him might be complicated. This page shows about a couple of them. https://mad-science.wonderhowto.com/news/bat-science-realistic-are-batmans-gadgets-dark-knight-rises-0138210/
This cosplay features quite a couple of them. I don't know the weight, so I am not sure of how the armor and these gadgets could work together, but Batman or Lucius Fox may figure that out. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2016/8/video-batman-cos-play-suit-with-23-functioning-gadgets-earns-owner-place-in-the
The extent of his knowledge: Arguable. As the reality of Batman changes throughout different comics and movies, in some would be posible, in other imposible. He could have a strong base that with some investigating or thinking could figure things out, but not instantly knowing what does X device do, or know who X is...
Mastering all those martial arts: Possible. The hardest thing of learning a martial art is learning the basics, how and when to dodge, block and hit. With a proper basis of hand to hand, ranged and weapons combat, the rest can be "easily" achieved (of course, he would need time to learn all the different techniques that exist).
Physical capacities: Arguable. Depends on the universe, but mainly possible.
Combat strategies: If Batman can get into a short range combat where he renders gun useless (because they have no clear line of shot [and/or don't want friendly fire], because he takes the guns off of them, because when you have someone in front of you it's hard to pull out a gun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckz7EmDxhtU ), his combat style would be possible. In order to get into that, and avoid anyone to have a clear shot at him, he has tactics that theoretically should make them possible. The smoke bombs, flashlights and well directed batarangs as well as covering and tumbling should do shooting at him quite hard (We'd have to account for the accuracy of gangsters, an expert marksman probably would be able to hit Batman sooner or later, a gangster I have no idea).
Leading a double life since he comes back: I am not sure of the tasks Bruce Wayne must do, it's obvious he doesn't have a full time job, but I have no clue as how many hours he spend a day as Bruce Wayne.
Lack of sleep: Some people because of a gene, barely need to sleep. If he had it, with a few hours of sleep he would be well rested.
As someone stated, it's impossible to have broken ribs and keep going like it's nothing and be healed in a day of that, besides the damages it does to the physical capacities. I deem this part impossible.
Being unknown who he really is: Partially true. The police should know who Batman is, the normal people probably don't (because of "myth" and not wanting to know). But if Batman could manage to appear at the same time as Bruce Wayne, or saying that Batman did X when it was really Bruce because of some technological gizmo or whatever would make it harder for people, as they would rule him out as a suspect.
Thus, most of Batman would be possible. With a great IQ and training fully to achieve it, he could be possible except of the injuries part. The cape, with a shorter length should be good, a cape that reach the floor would be too heavy and unpractical for a fight.

Nah, we humans dont have insane hax like batman does.

We already have that, his name is Trump

Still can't exist, but he's the second-most realistic hero after Punisher(MCU Punisher anyway)
