There's no comics forum, and my old board is gone, so I am posting it here.
Stolen info from Gamefaqs board.
Second greatest escape master and one of the world's greatest detectives.
Learned 127 martial arts.
He also thought himself a form of photographic memory. Not quite perfect, but he's able to 'catalog' information, allowing him to remember things to an amazing degree.
I think he also learned survival skills, manhunting skills(Aside from detective skills), and hypnotism. Also learned a technique that allows him to sense danger(refined instinct) and impose fear into others(Not quite The Shadow, but it works). Then there's the survival skills and ballistic knowledge.
The use of boomarangs, bolas and blowdarts.
-How to direct heat to different parts of his body.
-Healing arts.
-Stealth.
-Man hunting.
-Attended the FBI academy. Quit when he found out the law and justice aren't necessarily the same.
-he can read lips and knows sign language.
One site says he can speak over half a dozen languages fully, while he knows a dozen others to the extent that he can either understand their writing or hold a conversation.
He also learned how to lessen his need for sleep; or even meditate instead of sleeping for some time.
Then there's slight of hand. And not sure if he trained in this, but he can make use of almost anything a weapon
developed Olympic level marksmanship skills, as well as the ability to throw guns.
He also memorized the smell of various perfumes, polishes and such to heighten his detective skills.
Bruce used to treat himself with small doses of various poisons, venoms, and toxins so his immune system could develop strengths against them.
he looked at indentations of certain nails done under certain pedicures to figure out which one is which. He also memorized the smells of new aftershaves as well.
Then there was him shooting cadavers with different guns to see the wound they'd make.
And if you think that's insane, he once put himself in a simulation to see how long he'd last in a freaking VACUUM. J'onn stopped it at 24 seconds. Looked like Batman's head was about to explode.
Oh, he took out a helicopter with a mini-gun and rockets. Using a pocket knife. He was out of batarangs.
Bruce starts fighting an army of Doomsday clones by wielding an Amazonian battleaxe.
And some say Batman's not crazy...
http://www.togrc.com/forums/archive/index....m/t-122752.htmlI just wanted to find out how many martial arts he knew... thinking that list isn't even the half of it.
Then there's the Punisher... who served in Vietnam...
