Is Batman Overrated?

I'm not talking about the horrible poster here, IAmBatman, but the actual super hero himself.
He doesn't even have superpowers so I'm not sure why he's even classified as a super hero... all he has are tools/weapons someone else made for him.
Superman is as bland as it gets, but at least he's a real super hero.

If that's the case so is Ironman.

Batman was fine until they "powered him up" to the point he was no longer a character, but a plot device.
To say he could beat anyone "because dossier" is the stupidest power ever.

Iron Man made his suit, Spider-man made his webbing, Wolverine had surgery, why does it matter? If they fight crime in a suit and have a comic book, they're a super hero. Batman also happens to have the best story in comics, so that helps too.

Part of his "powers" is that he's pretty smart and knowledgeable about a wide range of things. Yeah by definition he's not a superhero but then again Ironman, Green Arrow, Hawkeye, and numerous others really aren't either.

Well, since he's arguably the most popular superhero in the world, I'm going to say 'no'

The appeal of Batman has always been that its a "real" guy and he can be set in the real world. That's what made the Nolan movies so great.

There's more of a degree to realism to Batman then other "superheroes", which is why i think a lot of casual fans of movies think Batman is the best. Add in the fact that Batman's movies are seen to the best superhero movies by many.

I enjoy the regular Batman vs regular villain stories. Juiced up Batman vs actual superheroes like Superman is silly.

And it has little to do with his superpowers. The whole plot device/dossier thing. His grumpy attitude (there's a reason Batman:TAS might be one of the best versions of Batman).
The Lego Batman stuff is spot on was to why Batman is just a completely boring and annoying character.
That's why Dick Grayson > Bruce Wayne.

Also, Batman lives on his villains as he does have the best stable of villains of any superhero.
That much is true.

Batman makes his own gear too when necessary.
The difference between them is Bruce keeps his vigilante life style private. But both use their wealth and influence in the mission.
Outside the X-Men, Spider-Man, and occasionally a C-lister, Marvel rarely takes in to consideration reprisal. Everyone in DC fears for their loved ones.
Case in point Coke, milk, Hi-C, hey Sunny-D, Ralph Dibny losing it after Sue's funeral and everyone had to attend in costume.

He's basically James Bond with karate and a costume.

The reason Batman is so well liked by many people is because he is more of an anti-hero and and has a dark mood/ persona. Many people find this to be cool. He is also a lttile bit more realistic and relatable compared to other superheroes.
You also have to take into account that he's had numerous TV shows and movies made about him (many of which are well known and did well) over the last few decades which greatly increased his popularity. Most people don't know shite nor give a shite about comics (actually talking about comics not comic book TV shows or movies) but Batman is one of the few they know about.
Tl,dr: The average person likes Batman because they think he's cool and somewhat normal.

100% yes. However, that still doesn't make him any less cool.
