Human hearing ranges from approximately 20 hz through 20,000 hz

Approximately. It differs a lot and the upper limit goes down with age. It also depends on loudness. I could hear up to around 16 kHz in my early twenties. I doubt many adults would hear 20 kHz, unless it was very, very loud.

Right but I heard children, especially at very young age can often hear upto 25k so batman is straight up terrorising children.
