Neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr, has thought of a clever marketing slant for a book, appealing to the kid in each of us. The University of Victoria professor states that Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes and takes us on an assessment of whether a real person could train themselves to kick ass Batman-style. POW! You will no doubt continue to see headlines of Mr. Zehr’s book as the idea is so interesting. In fact, I could see a series of books or even a television series that tests the strengths of well known super heroes.  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, what it would be like to fight while wearing a batsuit, and the amount of food one would have to consume each day to maintain vigilance as Gotham City's guardian.
