Lastly, for those who like the seemingly invincible Batman from the comics or other adaptations will find that Batman is beaten to easily by things such as dogs, car crashes and falling from heights. Whereas, any other time he comes out of situations that seem impossible to survive only to fall victim to the former, leads the view to question Batman
