With the tech in the D.C. Universe he could easily have some powered wings or anti gravity belt of nth metal or a host of other things that would allow him flight

It is nuts that a hero called Batman can't fly it woukd be like if Flash were slow

I think the cape was only for swag. I don't actually think it was aerodynamic.

People also tend to forget that Superman was not able to fly when he debuted.

Well you learn something new everyday.

The Fleischer cartoons were also responsible for giving Superman perhaps his most singular superpower: flight. When the Fleischers started work on the series, in the comic books, Superman could only leap from place to place (hence the classic phrase, "able to leap tall buildings in a single bound"). After seeing the leaping fully animated, however, the Fleischers deemed it "silly looking", and asked Action Comics' (which would later become DC Comics) permission to have him fly instead; the publisher agreed, and wrote the flight ability into the comics from then on.



His powers when he first appeared in Action Comics #1 in 1939 were:

Leaping one-eight of a mile

Nothing less than a bursting shell could penetrate his skin

Strong enough to lift an automobile of the time, cleanly over his head

He had no superhuman visions, senses or ranged abilities

He wasn’t even faster than a speeding bullet? What a puss.

Yeah Superman was created as just an alien from Krypton with much higher gravity so he was just super strong. It’s like if a human went to the moon and it was colonized. We’d be ‘superman’ to them.

Yeah, as rich as he is, you would think he could get mechanical wings or something.

WRONG! It's what makes Batman the greatest SuperHero of all. He has not 1 super power and yet he overcomes it.

Batman doesn’t fly because Batman doesn’t want to fly.

When he wants to fly, he finds a way to do it.
