Why does Batman associate himself as a superhero page 2

He may not have superpowers, but he’s the goddamn Batman, so I’m not going to argue with him.

He has hair.

He has never referred to himself as a superhero
Nor does DC refer to him as a superhero
They refer to him as a hero

So this thread is pointless

well hes better then a super hero he never killed anyone

supermans at like 2k casualtys

option 1:Batman has beaten many super powered opponents, therefore he can count.
option 2:Batman uses unrealistic gadgets, so he is a superhero in the way Iron Man is.
option 3: All you need to be a superhero is to have a characteristic outfit, a codename, and a good track record. For the heroic part, you probably need a code (like no killing, or whatever)
superhero tale feel different than other action oriented stories.
option 4: From a writing perspective, a superhero story is different from a regular story with a action oriented hero because of symbolism. Whenever a character is just as much a symbol of something as they are a character, plus they do battle with villains, they can count as a superhero if the author thinks that angle will work.
option 5:Batman doesn’t ever call himself a Superhero. We consider him such because he resembles one, and there’s no real reason to nitpick.
