Poll of the Day > batman is a terrible detective

(+) Yeah! (+)

he doesn't even detectivate

I bet Batman could figure out whether it was poop or pee.

Burt Ward was the true detective.

Hes detected so many things!

he was a good detective in the Superman animated series

Jokes aside I feel batman would benefit better from a TV show than a movie. Movies don't have as much time to delve into his detective skills. A TV show would be able to dedicate a fair bit of time to that and still have the fights.

Like the typical formular for like live action TV shows would work perfect for him. Villain of the week who is easy to track down and beat but have a mysterious or hard to track villain for the series that takes like half thebseason atleast for batman to even figure out who or where they are. Then the other half figuring out how to beat/catch them

unfortunately WB has decided that batman should be reserved for movies and when we have live action batman tv shows

it's never about batman....

there's been birds of prey gotham pennyworth and batwoman

Young Bruce Wayne was in gotham but by the time he became batman the series was over

that part of him always feels forced and out of place to me. I think I prefer him as not a particularly great detective, aside from having a lot of money/resources to work with, and knowing the right people (like Gordon). he's not a cop, and he doesn't want to be a cop; he does what they can't do but isn't a replacement for them.

Batman detects the same way that House doctors. He says some random shit and then it's solved.

that's not fair to House... Batman usually just has mary-sue levels of perception and puzzle solving.

House on the other hand has a way more realistically written "figuring stuff out" method where he's wrong all the time, often when he had *adamantly* believed himself correct, and actually wants others around him to challenge him on every last belief, because being wrong is really the only way to eventually be right.
