How does anyone in the DCU including pic related not die after a year or two of intense crime fighting. Like holy fuck Nolan's batman came the closest to portraying the realism of being a vigilante.

Bruce there only lasted a year or two as a crime fighter before his body gave out. You can't take that much punishment to your body without dying later.

So how does Batman do it? Does he secretly take dips in the lazarous pit?

It's a fucking superhero comic book. How didn't Batman age since 1940?!?!?!

Doesn't he constantly work out and use his knowledge in medical science to make serums and other healing shit for himself(that doesn't actually exist)? That's what I always assumed.

lol
Yeah that's why everyone dies. Thanks for the info!

>>94906953
No, he uses meditation techniques. I don't recall him using serums or other forms of medicine, but that would be cool.
>>
>>94905250
He's a meta-human, but doesn't admit it.
His healing factor is good enough to keep him going.

Same. Wwe wrestlers do. Inb4

I like the theory that humans in the DCU are so durable compared to us because a large chunk of them are descendants of Vandal Savage.

>muh it's a fiction, so fuck you arguement.

Well lads, /co/ was great, but as there is no point discussing pointless shit anymore, it'll just be a couple of storytimes a month from now on and little else.

However, if we are going to avoid being pricks and explore the OPs question...

Yeah, sometime, but usually by falling in or getting dipped. In DKR3 recently old Bruce finally got fatally wounded, and Superman dipping him. I think he's been dipped several times before.

Knightfall also explores what happens when a smart villain actually takes advantage of the fact a normal man can't fight forever.

However (comics rules aside) you are over estimating how much punishment Batman actually takes. Only the big hitters (Croc, Bane, Clayface) really give him a proper beating, and the truly skilled enemies (Deathstroke, Shiva, ect), but for the most part he's usually disarming and beating thugs, not really getting hit all that much.

A lot of time passes between what we see sometimes. Long Halloween and Dark Vengence covered an entire couple of years, I believe, and he barely throws any punches for much of it. Being Batman, when something 'big' that is worth us following occurs, typically involves sitting on rooftops and Gargoyles being alert-yet-emo for any purse snatchings, and doing research on the computer and shitposting on 4chan.

It's not going to be vasty different for other human heroes either, and ones like Green Arrow and Huntress rely on weapons. Even the Robins tned to favor a melee weapon that gives them extra reach and defense.

Fuck this fucking keyboard.

Batman actually has a healing factor and doesn't tell anyone.

>>94908459
Thats the old batman. Snyders batman is always fighting to the death and has him bleeding with cuts and bruises in every story arc he has. No idea how he survives.

>>94905464
>nobody pumps the tires
That's just lazy writing, besides there was like this whole batman tas ep about batman's mechanic who got found by the Penguin
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0519637/
and apparently this guy:

That's fair, but aside from Supersons, WoWo's redone origin, Outlaws and the Watchem overarcing plot, Nu52/Rebirth is shit. I would say I love Superman, but even he is (mostly) a survivor of Post-Crisis.

Still, outside the current (what, month or so?) of time, I think you are still suppose to assume he isn't always getting the shit kicked out of him.
