Batman will never work in real life.

Like there is only one batmanand only one gordon. (Yeah robins and batgirls and batwoman, max 5? but they always go together)

What happens if crimes happen simultaneously? Like 10 crimes at the same time? It's a big city.

Then one manning doesn't work.

you need at least 50 batmans and entire corporation of gordons.

But entire Batman's story is stupid. It's an economic problem. Fix the economy and you will get less crimes.

Good thing there are other superheroes than Batman and his Bat-family

one man's superhero story is another man's philanthropic white washing dream

@chatgpt In the Batman films/comics/whatever, is it ever it explicitly stated that there is only one batman?

Does anything in any of the stories so far preclude there being n batmen, of identical appearance, all of them called Batman, for some n>1?

@donkulator
In the Batman comics and films, the concept of there being multiple individuals taking on the mantle of Batman has been explored in various storylines. One of the most notable examples is the "Batman Incorporated" storyline where Batman recruits and trains other individuals to become Batman in different cities around the world.

In the traditional continuity, Batman is typically portrayed as a singular hero, Bruce Wayne, but there have been alternate versions and storylines where different individuals have taken on the role of Batman simultaneously. These include characters like Dick Grayson, Jean-Paul Valley, and Terry McGinnis, who have all temporarily assumed the identity of Batman.

So, while the concept of multiple Batmen has been explored in various stories, the core and most common interpretation of Batman is that he is a singular character, Bruce Wayne. However, the notion of multiple individuals being Batman at the same time has been featured in some storylines wit

hin the Batman universe.

@chatgpt So in summary, if someone is concerned that Batman could never work in real life, this concern could be addressed by getting conventional law enforcement agents to dress up as Batman?

@donkulator
It's an interesting idea, but it's unlikely that conventional law enforcement agents would fully adopt the persona and methods of Batman. It's important to remember that Batman is a fictional character with a specific set of skills, resources, and abilities that make him unique. In reality, law enforcement agencies have their own protocols and procedures that they follow. While some aspects of Batman's vigilante methods could potentially be incorporated into law enforcement strategies, it's unlikely that we would see officers dressing up as Batman in real life.
