How Batman could exist in real life<\/a> — and the problems he’d have with any length of crime-fighting career.<\/p>\n

\n

How would Batman get enough rest?<\/strong>
The difficulty for Batman is he’s going to be trying to sleep during the day<\/a>. He’s going to be really tired, actually, unless he can shift himself over to just being up at night. If he were just a nocturnal guy, he would actually be a lot healthier and have a lot better sleep than if he were doing what he does now, which is getting some light here and there. That’s going to mess up his sleep patterns and duration of sleep.<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t fighting Gotham’s thugs every night take its toll?<\/strong>
The biggest unreal part of the way Batman’s portrayed is the nature of his injuries. Most of the time, in the comics and in the movies, even when he wins, he usually winds up taking a pretty good beating. There’s a real failure to show the cumulative effect of that. The next day he’s shown out there doing the same thing again. He’d likely be quite tired and injured.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doesn’t sound like a very fun career, which is perhaps expected from someone who’s brooding and driven by vengeance.<\/p>\n
