Science: Could Batman Actually Exist?
Found an interesting article and book written by E. Paul Zehr, associate professor at University of Victoria (yes, the one in BC). The book is called Becoming Batman and it explores whether it would actually be possible for someone to be Batman! The book explores Batman's physical abilities, required training, effects of training, recovery time, bone density, reaction speed, effects of concussions, etc.
The following link will take you to an interview by Scientific American and Paul Zehr.
