In a world where bad guys routinely obtain super powers and put on costumes to do crime, one guy with a bunch of money fighting crime in a bat suit doesn't sound so far fetched. I mean his best friend is literally an immortal alien from Kansas, who could, should he fancy it, murder every criminal as they step over some arbitrary benchmark for criminality. Beating them to a pulp and turning them in is just a sick hobby they get away with.
It sounds crazy, even in that world, when you realize Superman exists. The Flash exists. People with actual, bonafide super powers exist. And then there's Bruce Wayne. A rich playboy with PTSD, no super powers, fighting villains that often do have super powers.
Ah, but Bruce has the strongest power of all: rabid fans who would gladly burn down DC's headquarters if Batman were ever cancelled.
Batman is the worlds greatest detective since issue #1
