Comment on Bruce Wayne by Roysovitch
It's not his max, just his regular bench press. High reps, "low" weight.
In canon, it says he presses 1,000 lbs and really that's not remotely realistic. I understand it's a comic book, but my head just can't fathom that... especially for this Bruce Wayne, so I did some research and this is what I found: Advanced lifters with multiple years of training experience average 390 pounds for the squat, 290 pounds on the bench press, and 460 pounds for the deadlift. So I knocked Bruce up a bit more than that and figure he does 450 for a squat, 300 - 320 for a press, and 500 for a deadlift. It's still rather high, but more within the realm of possibility for a leaner, quarterback-y Batman... who is in his mid-40s now.
