Re: Reconciling Manga & Batman
I have to agree I always saw Batman as the greatest Detective in the world... and Goku isn't just the greatest martial artists he is the greatest Fighter in the world, he is good with just about any form of combat... outside of Mental LOL
Goku is built on a ludicrous scale along with his allies and enemies, and can casually destroy the world with a gesture, who constantly wantes to find the next challenge. That is his whole life, thankfully Batman is much more well rounded.
Batman as a character is not about mystical martial arts per se, he is a master, everyone can see that, but he isn't a mystical master. Nor would I like him to be, his appeal is that he is the ultimate man in ways, tough, smart, handsome, and an awesome warrior.
But he isn't ludicrous, I don't consider Dragonball Z martial arts in the least despite the inspiration. It is plain out and out over the top destruction with punches, kicks, and nuclear ki blasts
