   	Personally I think that Batman is a metahuman. He was not   
   at the start but his stressful life of battling crime has unlocked the   
   metahuman abilities stored in his epigentic material.  These   
   include rapid injury recovery and abnormal bone strength, very   
   fast reflexes and superior mentation. If not by those stresses   
   then the visit to the Lazarus Pit would account for the extraordinaty   
   long career of this costumed crime fighter. And don't forget the   
   strange ability to breath in space.
