Acerca de esta escucha

Possessing no supernatural powers, Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes. His feats are achieved through rigorous training and mental discipline, and with the aid of fantastic gadgets. Drawing on his training as a neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr explores the question: Could a mortal ever become Batman?

Zehr discusses the physical training necessary to maintain bad-guy-fighting readiness while relating the science underlying this process, from strength conditioning to the cognitive changes a person would endure in undertaking such a regimen. In probing what a real-life Batman could achieve, Zehr considers the level of punishment a consummately fit and trained person could handle, how hard and fast such a person could punch and kick, and the number of adversaries that individual could dispatch. He also tells us what it would be like to fight while wearing a batsuit and the amount of food we'd need to consume each day to maintain vigilance as Gotham City's guardian.

A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman provides the background for attaining the realizable—though extreme—level of human performance that would allow you to be a superhero.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very interesting

This is a very detailed scientific examination of how a person could possibly become Batman, going all the way to explaining how cells in your body work. It’s a little more thorough than what I was looking for but it is still an intriguing listen.

The reader also does a great job going through this science lesson of a book.

A real letdown. Bat-fans will be unsatisfied.

How could one become Batman? How much money would it take? How would one build an underground command center like the Batcave without attracting attention? What resources and know-how would it take to build a Batmobile?

Could one man and his faithful do all of this in secret? Could they get help from others while keeping the Batman project a secret? Most Bat-fans have always wondered these things and more.

The author doesn’t address any of these questions. The book is a physiology/kinesiology text and primer on martial arts with Batman in the title so people will read it.

“Could a man become really strong and a skilled fighter?” That’s the only question the book seeks to answer.
